Keep the budget categories separate
- Zuri270mmclock: Three same-design units. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and confirm current model, stock and price.
- Specified batteries: One per clock only if the actual model requires it. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and verify chemistry/size; do not assumeaa.
- Protective packs: Three face-protective cartons. Confirm the quantity, landed quote and check no pressure reaches hands.
- Record equipment acquisition OR an appropriate use allocation, plus the full stock/minimum-order cash requirement; do not count both as the same per-job expense.
- Obtain actual labour, premises, transport, energy/water, rework, payment and ongoing overhead amounts relevant to this activity. Identify deposits, receivables and payment dates separately.
- Resolve the guide-specific evidence gaps listed in section 10. Any activity-specific permission, testing or specialist costs require actual scope and quotations, not an invented allowance.
