- Worth noticing
- The draft tattoo pack models enabled questions, pricing references, review mode, quote expiry, and supported currency in JSON.
Field notes
The reference flow is laid out as six stages—Ask, Answer, Estimate, Review, Quote, and Hand off—with JSON objects shown for each step. In the tattoo example, a manifest names enabled questions such as placement, size, complexity, and budget bounds; the data is explicitly marked as illustrative, not real prices. The page says checkout and booking remain outside the quoting core, and that handoff targets are not conformance claims.
