Quotes #
Vendor quotes issued under Aesthetic Inc. Source of truth for what was billed, to whom, and for what scope. Each quote lives in its own directory named <quote-id>-<slug>/; the source and built PDF are both named after the quote ID (<quote-id>.tex / <quote-id>.pdf).
Quote ID #
Format: AE-<YYYY>-<NNN> — AE for Aesthetic (Inc.), four-digit year, three-digit sequence resetting each year. Set once per quote via \newcommand{\quoteid}{...} at the top of the .tex source (and used as the filename itself).

Building #
Each quote builds independently with tectonic:
cd quotes/AE-2026-001-ucla-social-software
tectonic -X compile AE-2026-001.tex
Relative paths in the source:
- Fonts:
../../system/public/type/webfonts/(YWFT Processing) - Logo:
../../papers/arxiv-ac/figures/pals.pdf
Some quotes ship a build.fish instead — multi-page layouts with
remember-picture overlays need two xelatex passes, and a quote may carry
a grayscale variant. AE-2026-002 is built this way:
cd quotes/AE-2026-002-resilience-institute
./build.fish # → AE-2026-002.pdf (color) + AE-2026-002-grayscale.pdf
The grayscale variant is the same source compiled with \def\GRAYSCALE{},
which desaturates the palette and images and drops decorative fills.
Starting a new quote #
- Pick the next sequence number (look at the ledger, increment).
cp -R AE-YYYY-NNN-<prev-slug>/ AE-YYYY-NNN+1-<new-slug>/(or start from a blank fork of an existing one).- Rename the
.texinside to match the new quote ID. - Update
\newcommand{\quoteid}{...}and the\permalink/\permalinkdisplaymacros to reference the new filename. - Update recipient, subject, scope, amount.
- Build, commit, add a row to the ledger above.
