Quotes#

Vendor quotes issued under Aesthetic Inc. Source of truth for what was billed, to whom, and for what scope. Each quote lives in its own directory named <quote-id>-<slug>/; the source and built PDF are both named after the quote ID (<quote-id>.tex / <quote-id>.pdf).

Quote ID#

Format: AE-<YYYY>-<NNN> — AE for Aesthetic (Inc.), four-digit year, three-digit sequence resetting each year. Set once per quote via \newcommand{\quoteid}{...} at the top of the .tex source (and used as the filename itself).
