Food hygiene rating meaning: Rating Scheme Rules

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's 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 18 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 16 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 day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 14 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

Derivation as chartered: one row per nation per rule, quoted verbatim from the statute or the Brand Standard with its effective date: the three scored components and the score bands that produce 0-5, the Scottish two-outcome scheme beside them, the appeal window, the right to reply, re-inspection on request, and the DISPLAY duty - compulsory in Wales (2013) and Northern Ireland (2016), voluntary in England - with the offence and penalty where one exists; the cross-nation comparison is the figure, and changed-since is the news when a Code or a Standard is reissued

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