Publication methodology

How the benchmark should be reported

Publish medians rather than averages for billing rates and operating costs; show sample size; suppress any segment with fewer than 10 responses; separate owner-operators from commercial crews; and report region, chipper capacity and power source as independent cuts where sample size allows.
