Every figure, with its source
One row per published figure: the figure as the source's own page publishes it, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

Methodology
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).
2 of the 6 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 4 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 in EUR (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 18 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): the landed cost of an hour of capacity per corridor: the statistical agency's manufacturing remuneration per hour (INEGI EMIM for MX, BLS for the US, Eurostat for the EU corridors) beside the statutory wage floor for the zone (CONASAMI's border zone is a separate figure from the rest of Mexico and the difference is 40%), the industrial electricity tariff, and the USMCA labour-value-content threshold the part must clear; the derivation is the corridor-versus-corridor ratio by year, which is what tells a buyer whether the move still pays after the wage floor moved - no incumbent publishes it because each publishes one side of it
18 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
