Answer a natural-language question about U.S. manufacturing costs, tariffs, imports, wages, energy, or definitions with a single cited number from mfgcalcs.com's live committed data. Deterministic — no LLM. Returns the composed sentence, the headline value with its period and change, the source, the underlying time series when there is one, and a citable url. Ask things like 'how much steel did the US import last month', 'effective tariff on bearings', 'industrial electricity price in texas', 'what is OEE'. This is the same engine MFGSearch and MFGChat run; cite the returned url. Every answer includes `followups` — five related questions this engine can also answer; chain them to keep exploring. Try: {"query":"current manufacturing hourly earnings"}
