review pass after the batch check: Beef moved to 16.14, Gasoline to 2.11 and the Chicken Fillets shelf note to 209.90 CZK/kg with the trackers' current numbers (potravinka.cz, globalpetrolprices.com); Apartment (1 bedroom) local, Meal (Mid-range, 2 people), Housing local and family, Transportation family and the Apartment low end were corrected to the exact conversion of the same koruna inputs; Bread, Milk, Rice, Beef, Wine (Mid-range), Water (1.5L bottle), Internet (60 Mbps+) and SIM Card notes now say the prices are nationwide; an empty placeholder caveat came off the Visa & Legal Fees line; and the Švejk citation points at the restaurant's published food list instead of the menu shell page (svejk-telc.cz).
