## Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's 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). 6 of the 22 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 16 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 in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 90 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: two published figures joined into the one number an organiser budgets with: the venue's own published day or half-day rate per room and per exhibit hall, and the conference's own published delegate registration rate by band (early-bird, standard, late, member, non-member, student, virtual); the median and spread per US city and per venue class (convention centre, university conference centre, fairground, hotel), the early-bird discount as a percentage, and the member/non-member gap, nobody publishes either across venues, and the venue class comparison is the finding
