How many readings do I need?

At least three readings spanning around two weeks are recommended for reliable anomaly detection.

What if I do not enter a postcode?

The tool still works, but weather-adjusted interpretation may be less precise.

Does this confirm a leak with certainty?

No. It provides an evidence-based risk signal and prioritized checks to guide investigation.

How is cost impact estimated?

Estimated excess consumption is converted into a monthly cost range using typical water-rate assumptions.

When should I run it again?

Re-run after repairs or additional readings to verify that abnormal usage has normalized.
