+# librebrewreports
+
+Small United States breweries must keep production, removal and inventory records and file a federal report of operations and an excise return. This project is researching a tool that keeps those records and fills the forms for a person to review and submit.
+
+## Scope
+
+Proposed first scope: beer only; a local ledger, the Brewer's Report of Operations computed from it, and an audit trail. It does not file electronically, pay tax, or cover state reports. Nothing here is an approved specification; the charter in the repository is a draft for the maintainer to edit.
+
+## Current limitations
+
+The project is in research. There is no application code and no approved specification. The platform is undecided: the research reads these users as working on Windows and Mac laptops. No one from the intended community has been interviewed yet.

+Read the charter and the project's CONTRIBUTING.md. The most useful work now is the first research task named at the end of the charter.

+# librefuneralhome
+
+Independent funeral homes carry each case from the first call to the final bill, and must give families price documents in the form the United States Funeral Rule requires. This project is researching a case tracker built around generating those documents correctly.
+
+## Scope
+
+Proposed first scope: one location; case records, the home's price lists, the General Price List and itemised statement, an arrangement checklist and a simple invoice. It does not file death certificates, handle pre-need trust accounting, or process payments. Nothing here is an approved specification; the charter in the repository is a draft for the maintainer to edit.
+
+## Current limitations
+
+The project is in research. There is no application code and no approved specification. The platform is undecided: the research reads these users as working on Windows desktops and in the browser. No one from the intended community has been interviewed yet.

+# librequilt
+
+Quilters who design their own quilts draw blocks, lay them out, try fabrics, and print a chart of how much fabric to buy and how to cut it. This project is researching a free tool for that loop.
+
+## Scope
+
+Proposed first scope: a block editor, a small library of traditional blocks, quilt layout, colouring with solids or the quilter's own fabric photos, and a printable yardage and cutting chart in an open file format. It does not open the incumbent's project files, export to quilting machines, or ship manufacturers' fabric images. Nothing here is an approved specification; the charter in the repository is a draft for the maintainer to edit.
+
+## Current limitations
+
+The project is in research. There is no application code and no approved specification. The platform is undecided: the research recommends browser-first, because the audience uses Windows, macOS and iPads. No one from the intended community has been interviewed yet.
