Research direction

Start by reading DATA_README.md and checking the SAFI_dates.xlsx section against the two worksheets and its stated 14 variables. Restore the truncated content and resolve the mismatch so the section is complete, internally consistent, and ends cleanly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

What is the problem?

DATA_README.md is truncated and internally self-contradictory - The file cuts off mid-sentence at the very last line (...Range of values: earth, cement with no closing punctuation or trailing content) while claiming the SAFI_dates.xlsx section documents "14 variables across two worksheets" — only 7 are actually listed before the file ends.
