What every figure carries

The franchisor's own filing
The document itself, filed by the brand that sells the franchise. Not a directory, not a summary of one, and not a figure a model produced.
The Item it came from
Which Item of the filing the amount came from — Item 5 for the franchise fee, Item 6 for royalty and ad fund, Item 7 for the initial investment total — so the number can be checked against the page it was read off.
The filing's issue date
FDDs are refiled annually. A figure with no issue date beside it cannot be told apart from last year's.
