Unit costs

Divides the cost of each month by the number of units in the same month. The cost comes from the FOCUS files behind the cost baseline. The count comes from one named metric with a stated source and owner. scripts/focus_export.py unit computes the series and the change from month to month. The page explains what moved the figure.

Inputs
