Put researched populations and prices on the Answer line

[devbadya]

A 0.8B model invents populations and prices to three significant digits. research already opened the digest with Answer: Friedrich Merz. when the passages named a person. A question that asked for a number still left the model to extract 13.96 million from the quotes.

The same extractor now handles figures, and only when the question asked for one.

When the digest opens with a figure

• Two sources give the same reading, including ordinary rounding (13.96 million and 14 million)
• Or one sentence states it (Berlin hat 3,8 Millionen Einwohner, A Big Mac costs 450 yen)

When it stays off

• The question was not asking for a number — names still win Wer ist der Bundeskanzler?
• The only candidate is the city on a population question
• Two figures that are not the same reading (14 million vs 11 million)
• A year sitting next to the figure (as of 2024)

The research-question skill has a Tokyo-population exemplar so the model is shown a number on the first line.
