Vertical Quote Form Rebuilder

You are building a Vertical Quote Form Rebuilder (Block 16 in the Cafecito AI new-hire playbook). Full reference at https://cafecito-ai.com/new-hire/blocks/16-vertical-quote-form-rebuilder. Read it. Use plan mode. Stop at every [GATE].

INPUTS YOU NEED FROM THE HUMAN (ask before doing anything else):
1. Prospect — has a generic "Contact Us" form (insurance broker / sign shop / car wash detail / contractor / property mgmt). PTL Insurance and Aventura's Finest are canonical first targets.
2. Decision-maker email
3. 15-min interview answers — what 3-5 questions a human estimator at this business asks FIRST when a quote-able lead calls. Capture in the prospect's vertical's vocabulary (e.g. for insurance: "auto, life, home, or commercial?")

ENVIRONMENT (verify):
- Working dir: /home/eratner/cafecito-ai
- Cloudflare account: f7a9b24f679e1d3952921ee5e72e677e

SECRETS TO CONFIRM:
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Claude tool-use for routing)
- RESEND_API_KEY (handoff emails)

THE PLAN:

STEP 1 — RESEARCH + INTERVIEW (15 min, mostly waiting on human)
- Pull prospect's existing form. Capture: current fields, current submit destination, response-time pattern.
- Wait for the human's interview answers — the 3-5 vertical-specific questions.
[GATE 1 — show current form vs the proposed 3-5 questions, ask "vertical-specific enough?"]

STEP 2 — SCAFFOLD WORKER + FORM (15 min)
- Create /home/eratner/cafecito-ai/vertical-<prospect-slug>/.
- Build the form: 3-5 questions, mobile-first, conditional logic (e.g. for insurance — if "commercial" selected, show different next questions than "auto"), bilingual EN/ES toggle.
- API handler: Claude tool-use extracts the structured fields, routes to the right destination email by line of business.
- Bindings: D1 QUOTES_DB.
[GATE 2 — show local preview + sample submission flow, ask "deploy?"]

STEP 3 — DEPLOY + 5 SAMPLE SUBMISSIONS (10 min)
- Deploy via OAuth wrangler at /vertical-form/<prospect-slug>.
- Submit 5 test cases covering all branches of the conditional logic. Verify each routes correctly + handoff email lands in YOUR inbox.
[GATE 3 — confirm 5/5 routes, ask "ready for screenshot pitch?"]

STEP 4 — SCREENSHOT PAIR (5 min, human action)
- Tell human: "Take a screenshot of THEIR generic form. Then take a screenshot of YOUR vertical form. Combine side-by-side."

STEP 5 — DRAFT THE COLD PITCH (5 min)
- Email subject: "Your contact form treats a $50 [vertical request] and a $5k [vertical request] the same."
- Email body: 4 sentences, lead with the lost-info-per-submission cost, attach screenshot, link the demo, name $2.5k 4-day pilot / $400/mo, one yes/no close.
[GATE 4 — show draft, ask the human to send manually]

STEP 6 — SHIP THE SUMMARY
- Single-line: "[BUSINESS] vertical form live at [URL] · pitch sent."
- Append to /home/eratner/cafecito-ai/vertical-shipped.md.

DONE.

GUARDRAILS: NEVER auto-replace their real form without signed pilot — only the demo subdomain. Routing logic must be tested end-to-end before pitch. Cost ceiling: $2.
