### `compare`

- The name "compare" says "compare": a word for reading.
- Findings: info long-description

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Four modes, depending on which arguments are given -- consolidates what
    were four separate tools (rank_areas, list_comparisons, get_comparison,
    check_comparability) behind one, since they are all really "how does this
    stat compare" at different scopes. Exactly one mode's arguments should be
    given; mixing arguments from different modes (e.g. both `stat_key` and
    `pair_key`, or only one of `stat_key_a`/`stat_key_b`) raises an error
    rather than silently guessing which mode was meant.

    1. `stat_key` alone (no `pair_key`, no `stat_key_a`/`stat_key_b`): ranks
       every area at one geography level by its latest figure for that stat,
       for one country -- e.g. "which counties have the highest median sale
       price" (country="ireland"). `stat_key` comes from `query_data`'s
       dataset-listing mode, for the SAME country. `level` omitted uses this
       ranking's own default level; pass one of that dataset's own
       `compatible_levels` for a different one -- a level this ranking
       doesn't have registered returns an empty list rather than an error.
       Where the underlying stat has no honest per-area denominator (crime,
       homelessness, live_register and similar -- StatsMapped's own
       RANKING_NO_DENOMINATOR_STATS), each row's `rate_per_1000` is the real
       figure to rank/compare by, not `latest_value`, which is a raw count
       dominated by area population size. Always carry forward every entry
       in `caveats` when using a row in an answer.
    2. `pair_key` alone: full detail for one registered comparison pair --
       each axis's label, unit and publisher, the correlation stats (r, rho,
       and a leave-one-out sensitivity range naming the single most
       influential area), and caveats. `pair_key` comes from mode 4's own
       response, for the SAME country.
    3. Both `stat_key_a` and `stat_key_b` given: does StatsMapped have a
       registered, hand-vetted comparison between these two stats? Registry-
       backed only -- never computes a fresh correlation for an arbitrary
       pair. Both stat_keys come from `query_data`'s dataset-listing mode,
       for the SAME country. `verdict` is one of `"SUPPORT"` (a real,
       hand-vetted registered pair with no open caveats -- may be treated as
       a confirmed relationship), `"QUALIFY"` (hand-vetted, but the evidence
       carries real caveats -- e.g. no robustness check for outliers, or an
       unverified geography-level join; read `uncertainty` and `reasons`
       before presenting it as confirmed), `"REJECT"` (a real structural
       impossibility or a human-vetted "no" -- the two stats share no
       geography level at all, or a reviewer rejected this exact pairing),
       or `"INSUFFICIENT"` (not registered, not ruled out either --
       StatsMapped genuinely hasn't vetted this pair; never treat this as
       "probably comparable"). `uncertainty` names 4 separate dimensions
       (data_quality, comparability, statistical_strength,
       causal_strength) -- `causal_strength` is always `"not_established"`,
       since no comparison here implies causation regardless of verdict.
       `comparable` (DEPRECATED, kept only for callers that haven't
       migrated) collapses `verdict` to the old 3-way yes/no/unknown --
       `"yes"` for both `SUPPORT` and `QUALIFY` (both mean "hand-vetted",
       the old `comparable` meaning this field has always carried; the
       caveats a `QUALIFY` pair carries live in `uncertainty`/`reasons`,
       not in demoting `comparable`), `"no"` for `REJECT`, `"unknown"` for
       `INSUFFICIENT`. Prefer `verdict` directly when you need to
       distinguish a fully-confirmed `SUPPORT` from a caveated `QUALIFY`.
       Read `reasons` before presenting any answer other than `"SUPPORT"`
       as unqualified.
    4. None of the above given: lists every registered cross-dataset
       comparison pair for one country -- e.g. "median sale price vs new
       dwelling co… [411 more characters not shown]

### `explain_metric`

- The name "explain_metric" says "explain": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Definition, methodology and standing caveats for ONE stat ('ireland' or
    'united-kingdom') -- never a current figure. Call this when the question is
    about what a metric MEANS or how it's measured ("how is the claimant count
    defined", "is this a mean or a median"), not about a specific area's value --
    `query_data`/`compare` already answer that. `stat_key` comes
    from `query_data(country=...)` for the SAME country.
    
```

### `list_areas`

- The name "list_areas" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List every geography at one boundary level, for one country ('ireland'
    or 'united-kingdom'). `level` defaults to "county" (Ireland's 26 counties);
    the UK's own primary level is "lad" (local authority districts), not
    "county". Other levels exist per country (e.g. Ireland's "local_authority",
    "garda_division") -- see a dataset's own `compatible_levels` from
    `query_data` for which levels a given stat is actually published at.
    Returns each area's `id` (used by `query_data`'s area-scoped modes,
    always paired with the SAME `country`) and `name`.
    
```

### `query_data`

- The name "query_data" says "query": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Three modes, depending on which of `area_id`/`dataset` are given --
    consolidates what were three separate tools (list_datasets,
    list_area_datasets, get_dataset_for_area) behind one, since they are all
    really "how do I get data" at different levels of specificity:

    1. Neither `area_id` nor `dataset`: lists every dataset (stat) StatsMapped
       tracks for one country ('ireland' or 'united-kingdom'), with its key,
       human label, and which geography levels it can be shown at. Ireland and
       the UK track genuinely different datasets -- call this first for the
       right country before assuming a stat_key exists there, to find the
       right `stat_key` for `compare`'s ranking mode.
    2. `area_id` given, `dataset` omitted: lists every dataset available for
       that one area (e.g. "county:kerry" for Ireland, "uk:lad:e09000033" for
       the UK), with its latest figure, year-on-year change, and caveat labels
       only (not full caveat text -- use mode 3 for the full detail on any one
       dataset that matters). `area_id` comes from `list_areas`; `country`
       must match whichever country that call used, or this simply 404s
       ("unknown geography").
    3. Both `area_id` and `dataset` given: full detail for one dataset in one
       area -- the latest figure, a written summary, full caveat text, and (if
       `history_months` is set) recent history. `dataset` is a `series_key`
       from mode 2's own response. `history_months` means actual months of
       history (0 = everything) -- e.g. 24 returns 2 years of an annual
       series, not 24 years. `country` must match `area_id`'s own country.

       `dataset` and `history_months` are only meaningful together with
       `area_id` (and, for `history_months`, `dataset` too, since it only
       applies to mode 3); giving either without its real precondition
       raises rather than silently dropping the argument and dispatching to
       the wrong mode.
    
```
