Annual Report Requirements

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).

3 of the 5 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 2 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 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 7 figures, never sentences; 30 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): one row per state per entity type: the report's name (annual report, annual registration, biennial statement, periodic report, personal property return), its due date rule (fixed date, anniversary month, formation month), the fee for an LLC and for a corporation, the late fee, and what the state does when it is missed (administrative dissolution or revocation, and after how many misses).

The figure is the cross-state spread and the calendar - which states charge nothing, which charge $500 - which no filing office publishes beyond its own border.

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