We propose a six-week engagement to rebuild Northwind's document system — templates, a brand kit, and an API-driven render pipeline so every export ships on-brand.

Discovery & audit$4,000

Design system$12,000

Total$16,000

A live document, its review thread, and the render that ships it — one workspace.

Workspace

Everything a finished document needs, in one place.

Draft with AI

Describe the document, audience, and key sections — get structured, on-brand output you can edit in the studio.

Brand controls

Lock fonts, colors, and footers in a brand kit so every export stays consistent without manual cleanup.

Render API

Generate PDFs programmatically with project keys, signed delivery URLs, webhooks, and automatic retries.

Review & approve

Inline accessibility and print checks catch issues before a document is exported or shared.

How it works

Build documents without losing the operations layer.

01

01

Connect

Create a project, generate API keys, and set delivery and webhook preferences.

02

02

Build

Draft from a prompt or template, edit on the canvas, and preview the exact output.

03

03

Operate

Track render jobs, logs, usage, and billing — from the dashboard or the API.

API

Use the dashboard, or call the API. Same engine.

Projects, keys, jobs, delivery URLs, usage, and webhooks all share one model.
