Description

Feature Request

We have the following rules:

  • build_cost_data
  • build_fuel_prices
  • retrieve_cost_data_usa
  • retrieve_cost_data_eur
  • retrieve_eia_data

From a naming perspective, it is not entirely clear what the differences are. For example, some fuel costs come from build_cost_data if using the ATB, while others are created in build_fuel_costs if they are dynamic. Clarity on scope and name would be good!

Research direction

Locate the definitions and usages of build_cost_data, build_fuel_prices, retrieve_cost_data_usa, retrieve_cost_data_eur, and retrieve_eia_data, then compare their scopes and the ATB versus dynamic fuel-cost paths. Done means the rule names and their scopes clearly distinguish these behaviors and the affected references remain consistent.
