Methodology — all figures are computed on this page from the published archives only (data/tools, 55 recorded coding tools, snapshots 2026-09-06 – 2026-09-17). Medians use the standard median (middle element, or the mean of the two middle elements rounded to one decimal); means are arithmetic averages rounded to one decimal. Models are quoted verbatim from each archive's pricing.model field; cross-model score comparisons describe recorded rubric outcomes, not value-for-money judgements. No figure on this page is sampled, estimated or sponsored.
