What the last mile actually costs
Real costs from real projects — fund-paid invoices and self-reported numbers from the scene. Nobody else publishes this. Every number below is labeled by where it came from; categories with too few reports show as such instead of faking a range.

// methodology
A range needs at least 5 approved reports before we show it — fewer than that and a "median" is just one or two people's bill. Fund-paid figures come from actual invoices; self-reported figures are submitted by artists and reviewed before publishing; researched figures are our own market research, labeled as such.
