How to read this index
Every figure is stored in our pricing database with its source URL, a confidence grade and the date we last verified it: A — official authority source; B — multiple credible sources; C — industry data, labelled as such. Where a package is not listed, confirm the current quotation with the authority — we never estimate unverified figures.
