Description
For example, https://github.com/PolicyEngine/policyengine-canada/pull/313#pullrequestreview-1542110249 refers to a tax credit with a maximum amount that partially phases out over a dollar range, as does the Guaranteed Income for the 21st Century.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked PolicyEngine Canada pull-request review and the Guaranteed Income for the 21st Century reference to understand the requested behavior. Trace the existing scale-parameter entry point in policyengine-core, then define completion as supporting interpolation across a specified dollar range rather than only a rate.
