Median business sale price: Closed Deal Benchmarks

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

4 of the 12 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 13 figures, never sentences; 286 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the quarterly series of median sale price, median revenue, median cash flow and the implied cash-flow multiple, joined ACROSS the marketplace release, the broker survey and the federal series, with the change on the quarter and on the year and the metro spread - a single publisher gives one quarter of one panel; the series and the disagreement between panels is ours

286 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
