What this replaces

extracts deadline and fine escalation from the reader's ticket and shows cost of waiting The result is a small object you can inspect: it carries a count, a context row, and a next action instead of asking you to trust a paragraph.

Tool note. This workflow uses GratisAI local-first ticket decoder (no key, no account). GratisAI local-first ticket decoder (no key, no account) documentation was checked on 2026-09-13; limits can vary by account. This board beat a generic summary because it keeps source context visible. Runners-up were a generic list generator (too narrow) and a plain summarizer (no checkable output). Use sample data first, then decide what information you are comfortable keeping on this device. Concrete example: CHEM 101 exam Sep 18 2026, 4 units, $412,000 at 6.8% over 30 years, closing June 2027 — four points across three types (proper noun, dollar figure, date, quantity) labeled as sample.

The handoff

1. Prepare the source

Collect the raw text you already have — receipts, notes, messages — with dates and amounts. Remove private details you do not need to share.

2. Ask for strict shape

Prompt the free tool to return only JSON with this shape: {"heading":"...","metric":"...","rows":[{"label":"...","detail":"...","value":"..."}],"next":"..."}. Require it to say "not found" when data is missing.

3. Run the misses here

Paste the same lines into the board below. The companion runs locally and shows a designed result without calling an API.

Prompt shape for external tool: return only JSON in this form — {"heading":"...","metric":"...","rows":[{"label":"...","detail":"...","value":"..."}],"next":"...","quote":"..."}. The board below uses the same visible result shape locally and makes no AI request.

What breaks first

A board that covers only the loudest item

Require one row per source line and check the count before trusting the total. If the count is short, add the missing line.

An answer that sounds plausible but is not in your paste

Keep the evidence phrase and source-grounding request. "Not found" is a useful result that prevents invention.

A low score that feels like a verdict

Treat it as a routing signal for the next seven days, not a prediction. Mark two rows you could not answer and review those sections.

Boundary. This tool does not give legal advice and does not guarantee an outcome. It organizes your own notices into a checklist you can verify against the issuing authority's current instructions.

Go deeper without losing the free path

The free board is complete on purpose. The companion app adds a tangible file, history, or handoff only after the result is useful: Printable appeal packet with 3 options; estimate: 3 options x ~5 minutes of deadline checking = ~15 minutes avoided
