Campaign only, from the game's tables (unit_upgrade_to_unit_groups, unit_purchasable_effects), patch 9.0.4. Costs are before skills and technologies that make upgrades cheaper. “Lasts”: the whole unit's hit points (a magic barrier included, taken first) ÷ one unit of Chaos Warriors' melee damage per second against it (combat calculator formulas, base cards). Every mark and promotion compared: best Mark of Chaos.

Where these numbers come from
Read from the game's database tables for patch 9.0.4 (main_units, land_units, battle_entities, melee_weapons, projectiles…) as published in the WH3-Dump export (commit 099796e8). Formulas that turn table values into card values are checked against known units before they are shown — how we verify.
