Use this before paying: when a user or agent has a proposed price for something (a rent, a home, a litre of fuel, a medicine, a contract) and wants to know whether it is typical against recorded official evidence. Give the category (broadband, cars, childcare, construction, contracts, diet-costs, energy, farm-gate-prices, farm-prices, flights, fuel, groceries, home-sales, home-upgrades, hotels, insurance, land-prices, medical, medicines, producer-prices, rent, tuition and wholesale-power), the country, the same parameters that category's own tool takes, and the price. It runs the category's normal answer and returns a verdict: within, above or below the typical range (10th–90th percentile of recorded prices) when the evidence is a set of records; about, above or below the average when the evidence is one official average or median (within 5% counts as about average, and it says plainly this is an average, not a distribution); or cannot_judge, with the reason, when the currency or unit differs (ProofPrice never converts), there are too few records or nothing matched. It also returns where the price sits (for example '27% above the median and above the 90th percentile'), the reasons and cautions (posted prices are not paid prices, old periods), what is missing, one quotable sentence, and the full evidence answer with source, licence and audit-trail fields to keep with the reasoning. Do not use it to value one specific item or address, as financial or legal advice, or to compare prices in different currencies or units.
