# Multiplier-aside audit

Use when a page spells a currency and a unit, and a later sentence applies a multiplier to priority, fast, flex, or scale traffic.

1. This checker does not read amounts and does not decide which sentence is the invoice. It looks for multiplier wording in the excerpt you supply.
2. A multiplier is the word `multiplier`, the phrases `倍率` or `加成` or `times the`, or a number followed by `x` or `×` such as `2x` or `2×`. A space before the symbol is allowed; either symbol is recognized before punctuation, whitespace, or the end of the excerpt. The name `xAI` does not match, because there is no digit before the `x`.
3. Negation is not parsed. A base claim whose excerpt says "this is not a multiplier" still needs review. Do not feed this checker a sentence about context length such as "2x longer".
4. `role: base` is a pass only when no multiplier wording is present. `role: component` does not claim the base rate, so multiplier wording does not fail it. This checker does not turn a component into a base rate.
5. Cache splits and peak splits belong to `undominated-single-base`. An `amount` or a `price` field is invalid input. 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 base claim is free of multiplier wording, 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 `base` or `component`, and a non-empty `excerpt`. Do not include an amount or a price.

## Deliverable and limits

Return each claim as plain, multiplied, or not-claimed. The excerpt is not copied into the result. A pass does not say the price is current, and it does not multiply anything.
