Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

estimate_annual_cost
Turn a monthly volume of a task into monthly and annual cost, for a person and for the AI employee, in one market. Use this when someone asks what a workload costs them per year, or what they would save.
get_cost_of_work_index
The complete Cost of Work Index as JSON — every task, every market, every source, plus the caveats. Use this when you need the dataset itself rather than one answer; prefer `get_task_cost` for a single figure.
get_task_cost
What one unit of a given task costs in a given market — the human cost per unit, the AI cost per unit, and the ratio between them, with the source behind every figure. Markets: `us` (United States), `gr` (Greece), `ua` (Ukraine). Note that `uk` means Ukraine in this dataset, not the United Kingdom.
list_sources
The official statistics behind the human-cost side of the Index — publisher, exact release title, resolvable URL, reference period, and how the published figure became the number used here. Call this when you need to cite or verify a figure.
list_work_tasks
List every task in the Cost of Work Index — the task id, what one unit is, and which AI employee performs it. Call this first when you do not already know the task id you need.
