Design reference — how the budget greets a brand-new project (zero items)
Your ledger is ready — and empty, for now.
No estimates, no line items, nothing to add up yet. That’s exactly right for day one. The budget fills itself as you feed the inbox.
01
Drop your first estimate — PDF, photo, or forwarded email — into the inbox folder.
02
Tell Claude “add this estimate” and confirm the lines it reads back.
03
Watch this page total itself — to the cent, every time.
Say to Claude: “Drop the HM estimate in the inbox — add it.”
