# 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).

## Ledger

## Building

Each quote builds independently with tectonic:

```bash
cd quotes/AE-2026-001-ucla-social-software
tectonic -X compile AE-2026-001.tex
```

Relative paths in the source:
- Fonts: `../../system/public/type/webfonts/` (YWFT Processing)
- Logo: `../../papers/arxiv-ac/figures/pals.pdf`

## Starting a new quote

1. Pick the next sequence number (look at the ledger, increment).
2. `cp -R AE-YYYY-NNN-<prev-slug>/ AE-YYYY-NNN+1-<new-slug>/` (or start from a blank fork of an existing one).
3. Rename the `.tex` inside to match the new quote ID.
4. Update `\newcommand{\quoteid}{...}` and the `\permalink` / `\permalinkdisplay` macros to reference the new filename.
5. Update recipient, subject, scope, amount.
6. Build, commit, add a row to the ledger above.
