Official CPI time series used as household-cost context.
Official CPI time series used as household-cost context.
Different semantics are written to separate canonical tables; indexes, wholesale references, and promotion text are never presented as product retail prices.
Source-data dates and platform fetch times are recorded separately. Failures preserve last-known-good data with an explicit status.
An index is not an individual product price or a real-time cost quote.
