Chemical manufacturing capacity utilization (10 figures)

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 8 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 5 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 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 % (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 10 figures, never sentences; 117 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): three official series joined on the same months - the Federal Reserve's capacity utilisation for chemicals, the BLS producer price index for the chemical industries a blend is priced from, and the Census Annual Survey of Manufactures' shipments and establishment counts for NAICS 3259 - reduced to the one figure a buyer wants and nobody publishes: whether US blending capacity is tightening or loosening while the input index moves, per quarter, with the count of establishments behind it.

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