locations: Count distinct nonblank CQC location IDs in careHome=true with the exact source local authority; duplicate IDs fail verification.

registeredProviders: Count distinct nonblank CQC provider IDs within each authority selection. Locations missing a provider ID remain in the location denominator.

recordedBeds: Sum trimmed decimal nonnegative safe-integer bed values. Positive, zero, missing and invalid counts remain separate.

fieldAvailability: Website and phone require nonblank trimmed source values. Overall rating counts only Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate. Bed availability includes valid zero and positive values.

topFiveRegisteredProviders: Sum location counts for the five largest registered provider IDs within that authority, divided by all selected locations. IDs are ranked by location count, with provider ID as a stable tie-break. Equal-size ties do not change the summed share.

verification: Independent read-only aggregation of DataScoop's stored CQC rows matches the public report, count-only query and saved field-availability responses. All observations use the same recorded CQC import.

- This is a fixed comparison observed on 31 October 2026 using the recorded DataScoop import, not live figures or a CQC publisher release date.
- The selection is care-home locations in England, not the full CQC provider register, all UK care homes or an exhaustive assessment of need.
- Hampshire means the exact CQC source local authority. Locations assigned to Southampton or Portsmouth are outside this selection; source authority boundaries are not a ceremonial-county grouping.
- Recorded beds are registered/source-recorded capacity, not vacancies, occupancy or staffed beds. Missing or invalid bed values are not silently reclassified as zero capacity.
- Registered provider IDs do not identify verified ultimate corporate owners, brands, procurement teams or independent buying decisions. One organisation may have multiple registered provider IDs.
- Filled website and business phone fields do not confirm that details still work or that each location has a distinct contact route. Shared provider details can recur.
- Rating completeness counts the four standard overall ratings only; absence is not a judgement of care quality.
- A larger list or recorded bed total does not establish more buyers, spend, sales potential or demand.
