proposal: Location-aware resource and cost data service#146
Merged
Conversation
Analyzes three approaches (Python module, Docker service, MCP tool) with pros/cons for each. Recommends starting with a Python module with local cache, evolving to hybrid module+MCP. Replaces hardcoded rates from PR PlanExeOrg#72.
Designs a tiered data architecture for real-world cost lookups: - Tier 1: Authoritative sources (ILO, World Bank, BLS) - Tier 2: Interpolation (geographic, PPP adjustment, economic similarity) - Tier 3: LLM-assisted estimation with confidence scoring Includes data model, interpolation strategy, phased implementation plan, and integration points with PlanExe pipeline. Replaces hardcoded cost assumptions from PR PlanExeOrg#72.

… intent) Documents the original vision of PR PlanExeOrg#72 (domain detection, currency normalization, unit conversion, confidence calibration, Fermi sanity checks), redesigned to build on the prerequisite Currency Service (PR PlanExeOrg#147) and Resource/Cost Data (PR PlanExeOrg#146) proposals. Split into 4 implementation phases, each as a separate future PR. Addresses all review feedback from PR PlanExeOrg#72 (no hardcoded rates, no fragile paths, standard logger convention, configurable profiles).

… intent) Comprehensive design document covering: - Domain detection and assumption extraction - Fermi sanity checking against real-world benchmarks - Currency/unit normalization via Currency Service - Confidence calibration per domain - Ethical framework: fair wage floors, workplace safety standards, child labor detection, working conditions assessment Built on Currency Service (PR PlanExeOrg#147) and Resource/Cost Data (PR PlanExeOrg#146). Split into 4 phased implementation PRs. Addresses all PR PlanExeOrg#72 feedback.

Proposal Document
Designs a location-aware resource and cost data service for PlanExe:
This is a proposal/design document only — no code changes.
Companion to the Currency Service proposal. Both replace the hardcoded approach from PR #72 (now closed).
