Paper Cut
Turns a pile of meeting notes into a queryable decision log. Built for Receipts — build something that makes a messy pile of documents answerable. Decision extraction with links back to the source line. The interface is deliberately narrow: one path, done properly, rather than a broad surface that half-works at the deadline.

Obstacles
The first approach needed a background worker I didn't have time to deploy, so I moved it inline at minute 14.
Lessons learned
Test the demo path once at minute 25. I didn't, and it showed.
Process
Prompting approach
Started from a single system prompt describing the user and their constraint, then iterated with the assistant on the Paper Cut data model before writing any interface code. Full prompt log is in the repository under /prompts.
Fairness
Disclosures
Declared by the builder at submission time, visible to judges before scoring.
Judging
Public feedback
Judges' private notes stay private — this is what they chose to say publicly.

Genuinely useful. I would install this. The limitations section is honest, which makes me trust the rest of the submission more.
Hana Kobayashi
Principal Research Engineer, Independent
Strongest technical work of the day. The architecture choices are defensible at this time budget, and the demo held up under a real input.
