"purpose": (
"Zaid can decide, on evidence rather than impression, whether to commit personal capital "
"to starting an NDIS provider business in Victoria — because the decision is largely "
"irreversible once capital and twelve months of his time are spent."
),
"problem_current_state": (
"Zaid holds four prior working files on starting an NDIS business. Every cost, timeframe and "
"rate in them is unsourced, and the material ones are now wrong: they predate the mandatory "
"registration regime that commenced 1 July 2026, the NDIS Amendment (Securing the NDIS for "
"Future Generations) Bill 2026 passed on 19 August 2026, the 2026-27 NDIS price limits, and "
"the 1 July 2026 SCHADS wage increase. He therefore cannot tell a plausible answer from a "
"checked one, and cannot make a capital decision from what he has."
),
"problem_desired_state": (
"A single decision pack in which every cost, price, wage, timeframe and legal position carries "
"a resolvable source or is explicitly labelled as an assumption with a confidence level, and in "
"which the go/no-go recommendation states what Zaid would need to check in order to disagree "
"with it."
),
"problem_gap": (
"No sourced cost stack, no verified rate inputs, no break-even model, no downside case, no "
"read on the July 2027 mandatory-registration expansion, and no trade study between the three "
"candidate service models."
),
"objectives": [
("OBJ-1", "Zaid can state the total capital at risk before first revenue, for each candidate "
"service model, to within a stated confidence band."),
("OBJ-2", "Zaid can state the break-even volume and the month at which each candidate model "
"turns cash-positive under a stated set of drivers he can change."),
("OBJ-3", "Zaid can state which service model the evidence favours, and on which specific "
"criterion weight that answer would flip."),
("OBJ-4", "Zaid can state what the July 2027 mandatory-registration expansion does to each "
"candidate model, and what it costs to be ready for it."),

"study from its cited source within 15 minutes."),

"project is relative, so it works from wherever the folder is placed. Inputs: "
"the registers in 03_Registers and the sourced fact base in 02_Work. Frequency: read once to "
"make the go/no-go decision; re-read at each subsequent decision point; re-verify every source "
"before relying on it after 2027-08-20 (GOV-F1.16 twelve-month currency rule). On failure — a "
"stale price limit, a superseded legal position, a dead link — the Help Hub troubleshooting "
"entry names the symptom, the check and the fix, and the study must not be relied on until the "
