# Decision Dossier Builder
> **Caveat**: this skill is one author's playbook + 5-scenario stress test. Verify state fees / CPO terms / EV credits / dealer practices against current sources before quoting numbers to a dealer or making financial decisions. Not tax, legal, or financial advice.

Narrow helper: drive `generate_dossier.py` to produce the 8-page HTML + PDF
dossier the buyer hands the salesperson at test drive. Defers the script,
templates, and YAML schema to the orchestrator's `scripts/` and `assets/`.
## When To Use
- Buyer is ready for the in-store visit and wants a printable evidence packet
- Need EN or CN version (CJK template available)
- Buyer has comp anchors collected (XHS / Reddit / cross-bids) and wants
them formalized into a single document
## When NOT To Use
- Still in Phase 1 (criteria not locked) - too early; orchestrator first
- Quote evidence not yet collected - delegate to `quote-evidence-collector`
- Just need an OTD calculation - delegate to `otd-calculator`
## 3-Step Workflow
1. Copy `../orchestrator/assets/dossier_config_template.yaml` to a working
file (e.g. `my_dossier.yaml`) and fill in 8-15 fields.
2. Run:
```
python ../orchestrator/scripts/generate_dossier.py \
--config my_dossier.yaml \
--output dossier.html \
--to-pdf dossier.pdf
```
3. (Optional) Chinese template:
```
python ../orchestrator/scripts/generate_dossier.py \
