Start here: PetBrief 0.1.0 beta

You have a working client-intake and meet-and-greet brief for independent pet sitters and dog walkers. This file is the 10-minute path to your first real result.

Step 1 — See it work (5 minutes)

1. Double-click OPEN-ME-PetBrief.html. It opens in your browser. No internet

needed, nothing is uploaded anywhere.

1. A fictional sample client ("sample booking") is already loaded.
2. Click "Build sitter brief".
3. Read the brief: readiness verdict, completion score, flagged issues, per-pet

feeding/behavior/medication/vaccination summary, vaccination follow-ups.

1. Click "Print sitter brief" — this is what a sitter takes to a

meet-and-greet.

1. Click "Download reminder CSV" — a CSV you can open in any

spreadsheet app.

1. The sample booking has a visit window (arrival and departure dates) already

set. Click "Download visit card" for a printable day-by-day card, and "Download visit calendar" for a calendar file (.ics) with one event per visit day — feeding and medication notes included, door codes never.

Renders (built from the shipped OPEN-ME-PetBrief.html, sample booking loaded and brief built): desktop 1440px · mobile 390px.

Step 2 — Try it with your own data (10 minutes)

1. Reload the page (the sample stays — see AI-OPERATOR.md to clear it).
2. Fill the form as a real client would. Try leaving things blank on purpose:

blockers (red) stop the brief from being "ready"; follow-ups (amber) warn but don't block.

1. Enter a vaccination expiry date in the past: watch it become a blocker.
2. Type a door code into a notes field: watch the privacy flag fire. PetBrief

never stores access codes — this is enforced, not just advised.

Step 3 — Understand the business

• ECONOMICS.md — what it costs (about $0 fixed), what the labor is, and the

honest pricing hypothesis ($199 setup + $29/mo per sitter, unproven).

• FIRST-TEN-CUSTOMERS.md — where the first sitters come from and what to say.
• AI-OPERATOR.md — the operator's manual: field list, validation rules,

reminder workflow, and the tested automation paths.

• LAUNCH-CHECKLIST.md — run this before using PetBrief with a real client.

Step 4 — Prove it with three real sitters

Offer the intake to three independent sitters free, in exchange for a testimonial and one referral each. If none of the three would pay for it after a month, the pricing hypothesis is wrong — say so in CHANGELOG.md and adjust before building further.

PetBrief 0.1.0 is a working beta; demand is unproven. It is not turnkey, not validated, not an operating company.
