Pricing model distribution
Count of archives per recorded pricing.model across the 57 Workflow Automation archives.
Method
- Population: category = "ops" archives (N=57); pricing fields as recorded (pricing.model, pricing.startingPrice.amount, pricing.startingPrice.unit).
- Unit discipline: amounts are grouped by startingPrice.unit and compared only within the same unit; cross-unit arithmetic is never performed.
- Null discipline: archives with a null startingPrice.amount (19 here) are excluded from every numeric statistic and fall back to pricing.label, then pricing.model, for display.
- Median over each unit group uses the standard median; min/max are the observed extremes in that group.
