cwicr-rate-updater

The CWICR Rate Updater maintains current resource pricing by integrating external market data, applying inflation adjustments, and preserving historical audit trails. Use this skill when construction cost estimates require updated labor rates, material prices, or equipment costs that reflect market fluctuations and regional variations while documenting all changes for compliance and cost analysis.

# CWICR Rate Updater

## Business Case

### Problem Statement
Resource rates become outdated:
- Material prices fluctuate with market
- Labor rates change annually
- Equipment costs vary by region
- Historical rates need adjustment

### Solution
Systematic rate updates integrating market data, inflation indices, and regional factors while maintaining audit trail.

### Business Value
- **Accuracy** - Current market pricing
- **Flexibility** - Update specific resources or categories
- **Audit trail** - Track rate changes over time
- **Automation** - Integrate with price APIs
