List available metrics for the 26 Swiss cantons (key, label, unit, source, what higher/lower means).

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {}
}

Get all metric values for one canton. canton = 2-letter abbreviation (e.g. ZH, GE, TI). rank 1 = lowest value for cost metrics (dir 'low', e.g. taxes/rent) and highest value for capacity/benefit metrics (dir 'high', e.g. sunshine/jobs). Ranks describe order under the stated scenario, not universal suitability.

    "canton": {
      "type": "string"
    }

Personal canton recommendation ("Where should I live in Switzerland?"): weight 5 categories 0–3 (cost = rent/premiums/electricity; tax = income tax/fiscal balance; work = jobs/unemployment/migration; env = sunshine/crime/vacancy; health = hospital capacity) and get all 26 cantons scored by the transparent percentile method of the Swiss Living Quality Index. Every evidence figure carries value, unit, rank, source and year. Scores describe order under the stated weights, not universal suitability.
