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; 21 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: the official fee and the officially published processing time per jurisdiction per route, each quoted from the authority's own page with the date it was read; across them the figures a claimant cannot get anywhere else - the cheapest and slowest routes to the same EU passport, the fee per jurisdiction in one currency, and the WAIT AS A SERIES, because the Canadian proof-of-citizenship time is the number that moved most in 2026 and a single reading of it is already stale",
