+## How this track was built
+
+This track was generated from `UK_GBP` by
+`0_Workflow and Pipelines CWICR/python/11-country-track-builder/add_country_track.py`.
+
+- **Norms** (labour hours, machine hours, resource quantities) are
+  identical to the source track — Resource-Based Costing methodology
+  treats norms as country-agnostic physical first principles.
+- **Prices** are derived via the cascade
+  `type_factors → location_factor → optional national overrides`.
+  Type factors come from OECD wage indexes (labour), construction
+  PPP (material), and ECB FX (equipment). FX snapshot date is
+  recorded in the per-resource columns.
+- **Language** columns are translated where target language differs
+  from source. Existing tracks are used as parallel-text seeds.
+
+## Data Structure
+
+85+ columns organised into:
+
+- Classification hierarchy (10 cols)
+- Rate / work-item identifiers (11 cols)
+- Resource decomposition (7 cols)
+- Labour metrics (11 cols)
+- Machinery & equipment (12 cols)
+- Price aggregates (16 cols)
+- Mass / service / regional markers (~18 cols)
+
+See the repository-level [DATA_DICTIONARY.md](../DATA_DICTIONARY.md)
+for the complete column-by-column reference.
+
+## Qdrant collection
+
+Vector index built from concatenated localised text fields,
+encoded with OpenAI `text-embedding-3-large` (3072-dim, cosine).
