### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `country` | `string` | US |
| `execution` | `object` | 6 fields |
| `execution.country_verified` | `boolean` | true |
| `execution.duplicates_removed` | `integer` | 0 |
| `execution.records_observed` | `integer` | 321 |
| `execution.response_normalized` | `boolean` | true |
| `execution.transport` | `string` | [redacted:implementation_detail] |
| `execution.upstream_status` | `integer` | 200 |
| `hours` | `integer` | 24 |
| `trends` | `array` | 2 items |
| `trends` | `array` | 2 items |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
