Cost of goods
The price of what people buy — food, fuel, hardware — hits before any speech does.
BEA, Census, and BLS price series for goods. Blank stays blank. No invented basket.
The record isn't a feed. Commitments never rewrite votes, money, attendance, or effects. The civic record is never for sale.
Sourced metric
A number appears only when a public series parsed. If the source is missing, untrustworthy, or the fetch failed, the field stays blank with the reason. Metrics never rewrite votes, money, attendance, or effects.
CPI-U, energy (U.S. city average, not seasonally adjusted)
325.150 · +14.7% YoY
index (1982–84=100). Household energy. Second household-facing goods series. 12-month change is arithmetic on the published monthly indexes (same month, prior year).

Effects never enter score_overall. Official tallies stay on the Clerk / Senate source. Inferred lines name the rule.
Hooks reuse stored votes and the effects panel. Empty is honest. We do not invent metrics.
