Complete baseline register
A provenance label describes the exact baseline rates, not the later federal index movement. “Modeled estimate, not directly sourced” means the repository does not contain a public source that publishes that exact rate. No citation is inferred or invented.

How the rates enter a result
material = baseline material rate × quantity × index change × selected quality
labor = baseline labor rate × quantity × wage index change × ZIP wage multiplier
