What are you planning?
Capture the context, goal, people involved, location, timeline, and constraints.
Phase 14.0 Foundation
Lifestyle & Home Foundation
The shared platform layer for future home, travel, gardening, pet care, event, household utility, budgeting, and daily-life decision tools.
Reusable Decision Tool UI
Context inputs, assumption notes, result cards, recommendation panels, and report templates.
Foundation modules
What facts do you know?
Use measured space, budget, dates, quantities, household size, travel party, pet needs, or event count.
What is uncertain?
Flag estimates such as weather, prices, availability, safety, route times, material sizes, or vendor limits.
What does the estimate mean?
Return a practical number, recommendation, checklist, or decision score with plain-English explanation.
What should the user do next?
Suggest one action: measure, compare, book, buy, ask a professional, adjust the plan, or open a related tool.
Validation layer
Reject empty required inputs and explain what the user should enter.
Prevent negative values where they do not make sense, such as guests, rooms, pets, days, or quantities.
Use local units and allow simple switching where relevant, especially for home, travel, garden, and utility planning.
Separate estimates from confirmed vendor, code, safety, travel, veterinary, or household billing information.
Show assumption notes whenever prices, weather, availability, seasonal timing, or family needs can change the result.
Always include a sensible next step after the result rather than ending with a number only.
