# Indicative-rate audit

Use when a page spells a currency and a unit, and a nearby sentence says the figure varies, is a floor, or sits beside a free credit.

1. This checker does not read amounts and does not decide which sentence is the invoice. It looks for qualifying wording in the excerpt you supply.
2. A qualifier is `indicative`, `varies by country` or `region`, `depending on country` or `region`, `starts at` or `starting at` or `start at`, `as low as`, `仅供参考`, `因地区而异`, or `各地不同`. The phrase `up to` is ignored, because it usually names a context length.
3. `list price` or `刊例价` is a qualifier only when the same excerpt also says `free`, `credit`, `promotional`, `免费`, `新用户`, or `赠送`. A list price with none of those words is not flagged.
4. Negation is not parsed. A global claim whose excerpt says "this is not indicative" still needs review.
5. `role: global` is a pass only when no qualifier is present. `role: component` does not claim one global rate. Cache splits and multipliers belong to other checkers. An `amount` or a `price` field is invalid. The examples are synthetic sentences, not a vendor quote.

## Run the local check

Resolve these paths relative to this skill directory, regardless of the project working directory:

```sh
python3 scripts/check.py examples/synthetic.json
python3 scripts/check.py /absolute/path/to/your-input.json
```

The bundled examples are **synthetic**, not a current vendor quote or market measurement. Read and adapt them; never cite their sentences as a provider. The script reads one explicit local JSON file and prints JSON. It makes no network requests and writes no files. Python 3.10+; no dependencies.

Exit codes: `0` every global claim is unqualified, and every component claim is left as a component; `1` review required; `2` invalid input. Passing validates the wording check on the excerpt you supplied, not that a vendor published one rate. Do not turn a script pass into a purchasing or publication permission.

## Input contract

`label` is non-empty text. `claims` is a non-empty array. Each claim has a unique non-empty `id`, a `role` of `global` or `component`, and a non-empty `excerpt`. Do not include an amount or a price.

## Deliverable and limits

Return each claim as plain, qualified, or not-claimed. The excerpt is not copied into the result. A pass does not say the price is current, and it does not pick a country.
