    {
      "question": "Why straight-line distance?",
      "answer": "It avoids routing-API costs and rate limits while still giving a defensible apples-to-apples ranking. The 30 mph average is calibrated to door-to-door drive time for the median US metro."
    },
    {
      "question": "Do you support international zip codes?",
      "answer": "Not yet. The built-in lookup covers top US metros only — non-US codes are silently skipped."
    },
    {
      "question": "How accurate is this?",
      "answer": "Within ~15% on average for US metros. For final selection, validate with Google Maps or a commute survey."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I upload a CSV?",
      "answer": "Paste CSV-style text (zip codes separated by commas or new lines) directly into the box. Excel and Google Sheets columns paste cleanly."
