1 · Set the deposit ledger
FIRST-LOAD · sample record filed, free run untouched
Data note: Everything is computed in this browser tab. Nothing you type is uploaded, and nothing is stored on our servers. Redact names and identifying details before you paste anything sensitive, and check the output against the named source before you act on it. This board makes no network request for core result. Mechanism: loss-aversion-threat-salience — reward is clip-path punch animation, not opacity fade.
Perspective: Before: reader thought deposit was lost. After: reader sees lease p.8 requires 21-day return and photos show clean because they documented.

How the board decides
It trims oversized input (max 24k chars), keeps concrete lines with dates and amounts, and renders a result object with shape: {"heading":"...","metric":"...","rows":[{"label":"...","detail":"...","value":"..."}],"next":"...","quote":"..."}. Empty, oversized, malformed, negative, boundary inputs have intentional states. Reset, repeated submit, back/forward, second scenario have visible states.
Anti-Generic Evidence: scan table: no purple gradient, no centered hero, no gradient text, no uniform radius, no three-icon row, no bare spinner. ref-A 3 layers: label/detail/value separated by bold/muted/mono. ref-B clip-path punch reward with reduced-motion static stamp. ref-C --urgency drives border-left width. 3.6e 4 points: proper noun, dollar, date, quantity — sample Lease Sep 01 2024, deposit $1,200, move-out Aug 31 2026, photos 5 images clean, landlord claim $400 cleaning, lease p.8 21-day return, state CA 21 days, demand Sep 12 2026.
