Current-state summary

The live Project shows one Planning Budget value and promises future Budgeting. Project Builder defines five generic Item & Budget Categories—Design Fees, Furniture, Lighting, Art & Accessories and Logistics & Installation—but the Project has no Items, Categories, Budget, Shopping List, Purchase Order, receiving, storage, delivery or installation module. Construction and Decorating Items are not separated, and no spreadsheet or Google Sheets import is available from the Project.

Anatomy and verified behavior

Verification states separate observed behavior from requirements or assumptions.

Planning Budget	Rosedale shows $540,000 in Financial Summary; Create Project collects Approved planning budget.	Verified live
Template categories	Five editable code/name rows become standard shopping-list and Project-budget dropdowns.	Verified live
Items workspace	Absent.	Verified absent
Budget workspace	Absent; placeholder says approved baselines and forecast detail arrive in Budgeting.	Verified absent

Product rules

Non-negotiable boundaries

Items are canonical records; Shopping Lists, purchase views and installation lists are projections.
Construction Items and Decorating Items share a core Item model but use distinct field and workflow configurations.
Budget Categories calculate from Items and commercial records instead of unrelated manual totals.
Every import is previewable, attributable, reversible through governed reconciliation and idempotent.
Vendor means the product-supplying Provider Category; Provider is the general network term.
Expected arrival, Receiving Record, Storage Location, Delivery Manifest and installation evidence remain connected to the source Item.

What is missing, broken or unverified

Future Spec 07 owns closure →

No operational Item or Budget module exists.
Construction and Decorating category semantics are mixed.
Categories have no type, parent, budget behavior, required fields or lifecycle configuration.
The template claims Projects may add categories but no Project-level category action was found.
No import, AI product extraction, URL ingestion or Purchase Order parsing exists.
No receiving, storage, delivery or installation connection exists.

Future alignment

Required evolution

01Build typed Item and Budget workspaces in Spec 07.
02Add spreadsheet and Google Sheets import with field mapping.
03Support AI-assisted URL, quote and Purchase Order extraction with confirmation.
04Connect Items to Provider Work Packages and the full procurement chain.
05Expose Category budgets and Item pricing in one explainable financial model.

Current baseline

Acceptance record

Planning budget and five template categories are documented.
Missing operational modules are explicit.
Construction, Decorating and Provider terminology follows the glossary.
No future import or procurement capability is claimed as current.

Reverse-spec completeness

Documentation coverage

The interface is still changing, so visual evidence and repository tracing remain intentionally incomplete.
