Best registered agent service (7 sources)

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).

7 of the 26 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 19 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; 82 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): median, minimum and maximum published price per registered-agent-year across every service that publishes one, split by first-year versus renewal (the trade's characteristic trap: ZenBusiness's own page states '$99 + state fees for the first year.

Renews at $199/yr.'), by multi-state discount, and by segment - the self-serve trade against the enterprise houses, where CT Corporation's own New York page publishes 'Order Online - $1,167 +state fees*' against Northwest's '$125 Per Year'.

The count and share publishing versus quote-only is itself the figure: of the 26 service pages read for this charter, 25 answered and 18 carried a price or fee figure, while seven - CT Corporation's national page, CSC twice, Cogency Global, Corporate Creations, LegalZoom and Rocket Lawyer - published no price on the page at all.

Beside it, the state's own change-of-agent fee from the statutory table, so the buyer sees the real cost of switching.

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