DEMONSTRATION — ENTIRELY FICTIONAL DATA
Dossier: Aster Apartment — bathroom and living room renovation
Fictional project owner: Camille Example. No real location or contact details.
Reference date for this exercise: October 8, 2026.
Goal: keep quotes, decisions, deadlines and site reports in one shared dossier.
Maximum budget, including contingency: EUR 18,500 including tax.
Quotes accepted as of October 1: EUR 17,500 including tax. Initial contingency: EUR 1,000.
Original target completion date: October 23, 2026.
Later written decisions supersede the original schedule only when they explicitly say so.
An optional quote or proposal never counts as acceptance.
Useful requests for the agent:
- Summarize confirmed decisions and open questions, citing the sources.
- Calculate the committed budget and remaining headroom. Distinguish commitments from payments.
- Prepare an updated schedule and a list of items to confirm.
- Draft a follow-up email without sending it.

DEMONSTRATION — entirely fictional site report
Site visit on October 6, 2026, recorded by Camille Example.
Observations: the old cabinet has been removed. A damp mark is visible near the door.
We have no moisture measurement, diagnosis or confirmed cause.
Action: ask the contractor for an inspection and written findings before closing up the area.
The electrician proposes an inspection on October 12 at 10:00; Camille still needs to confirm.
Premium flooring upgrade: an additional EUR 800 including tax has been proposed; decision pending.
Confirmed decision: keep the existing handles, with no additional purchase.
Open question: who will move the furniture before painting? Nobody has accepted this task.
Do not present these open questions as decisions already made.
