NAME
locale — geo, weather, civic, identity primitives
DESCRIPTION
Geocoding, weather, timezone, holidays, flight status, building permits, property tax, VIN decode — the local-context layer for any agent that touches a place or a person.
BUYERS — who calls into this cluster
Travel-planning agents, logistics automation, real-estate research bots, weather-aware scheduling, civic-data journalism, mobility integrations.
WEDGE — why this exists vs. incumbents
Each underlying dataset (NWS, USGS, FAA, IRS, Socrata) is free but fragmented. Locale unifies into per-call USDC primitives.
