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): one figure per UK studio for each band it publishes (discovery, MVP, full build, day rate), the median and range per band across studios, and the share of UK studios that publish any figure against those that quote only after discovery; offshore firms' UK guides are kept apart and never mixed into the UK median.",
