The frames count the same sweeping job on different bases -- a sweep-with-inspection national band in Frame A ($130-$380, July 2026 average about $254) against an appliance-and-flue table in Frame B (2026 average $275). Frame A prints its levels inside its own frame alone; Frame B prints its appliance and flue rows inside its own frame alone. Those differences are named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.
