The “no. PFDs” refers to the number of PFDs published in each area. The “no. recipients” is how many recipients were mentioned in the “this_report_is_being_sent_to” and “no. replies” is the number of recipients listed in the URLs with response letters. The “no. pending responses” is the number of PFDs that have not passed the 56-day limit for replies and “no. failed parses” is the number of received reports that we could not parse (i.e. read using code) from the “this_report_is_being_sent_to” column.
