## Method

Require all component metrics for the same country, keep their source records, calculate groceries_monthly_eur + utilities_monthly_eur, then sort ascending.

## Boundary

This is a standardized data comparison, not a personal budget or migration recommendation. Read the included and excluded components before using it.
