Unknown means the official pages do not say; it is not counted as no. Computed by code from the catalog with no model: each plan cost is the engine's monthly cost at the volume (search, no budget); condition counts are the engine's verdicts per plan (yes = met, no = not met, unknown = the official pages do not say); a provider counts as yes, no or unknown only when all its plans do, else mixed. The same input gives the same output.
