PRICE POSTURE
Manual release files still matter here.

Manual release files parsed into suburb prices

RENT POSTURE
Rent is using a state market dataset when available.

SERVICE POSTURE
Service coverage is matched locally, not inferred nationally.

Schools, transport, and hospitals are useful as presence signals, but they still have different source cadences.
