# PX001 — Budget Module Experience Review & Refinement
**Page Experience | Premium Design Review & Micro UX Refinement**

---

# Objective

The INVEETAIRE platform has completed:

- UX001–UX010A
- DS001
- Platform-wide visual refinement

This sprint focuses exclusively on the Budget module.

This is NOT a redesign.

This is NOT a branding sprint.

This is NOT a feature sprint.

The objective is to refine every Budget page until it feels production-ready from the perspective of an experienced Product Designer.

Think beyond spacing.

Evaluate composition, usability, hierarchy, comfort, visual flow, and perceived quality.

---

# Project Context

Before making any changes, read:

/assets/branding/

Required documents:

- README.md
- brand-colors.md
- design-system.md
- ai_guide.md

These documents remain the single source of truth.

# Scope

Review the entire Budget module.

Including:

- Budget Dashboard
- Budget Setup
- Budget Categories
- Expenses
- Expense Detail
- Create Expense
- Edit Expense
- Payment History
- Payment Detail
- Budget Settings

Review every implemented Budget page.

---

# Design Philosophy

Review every page as if it were being presented during a senior product design review.

Do NOT ask:

"Does it work?"

Ask:

"Would this page be approved without revision by an experienced Product Designer?"

Every page should feel:

- Premium
- Elegant
- Calm
- Professional
- Comfortable
- Production Ready
