To verify later: build {model, specVersion, inputs, outputs} from the stored response, serialize as JSON with object keys sorted recursively (no whitespace), and SHA-256 it — a match proves the numbers came from this spec version with these inputs, unaltered."

"disclaimer": "Illustrative planning model, not financial advice. Outputs follow the published model spec exactly; read the spec for assumptions and exclusions before relying on any number."
