What this replaces
Turns shoebox receipts into searchable JSON vault with live expiry countdowns and manual RAG using free OCR.space + Puter.js — no API keys, no subscription 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 board (no key, no account). Documentation 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 and a plain summarizer. Use sample data first. 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 labeled as sample.

2. Ask for strict shape
Prompt the free tool to return only JSON with this shape: {"heading":"...","metric":"...","rows":[{"label":"...","detail":"...","value":"..."}],"next":"..."}. Require "not found" when missing.
3. Run the misses here
Paste same lines into board below. Companion runs locally and shows designed result without calling API.

What breaks first
A board that covers only the loudest item
Require one row per source line and check count before trusting total.
An answer that sounds plausible but is not in your paste
Keep evidence phrase and source-grounding request. "Not found" is useful.
A low score that feels like a verdict
Treat as routing signal, not prediction.
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: Unlimited vault + 100 alerts + .ics calendar + PDF brief vs 50 items free — quantified as Save $280/yr avg
