What building it taught us

The connector's own docstring, verbatim. It lives beside the code so it cannot drift from it.

Swiss FSO CPI: original basket classifications, bases and archived values.

Each published basket is separate. FSO's backcast observations are retained as published, never assembled across bases. The app's rounded headline families are separate from the detailed workbooks. Raw workbooks retain all four source languages, source blank cells, annual means and original weights.
