# Imperium documents layer — invoice, letterhead, email signature, decks

Templates for the highest-frequency real surfaces. All are standalone HTML on kit fonts
and tokens; fill every `{{PLACEHOLDER}}` at generation time. Precedence: BRAND-BOOK →
tokens → AGENTS.md → this file.

## Deck tiers (the routing rule)

Every outward-facing Imperium presentation (clients, stage, investors, partners) follows
the **continuous-world principles**: one generated world, every slide a camera position,
every forward transition a frame-locked generated film, HTML type on top. That is the
Imperium presentation identity, proven on the AIOS keynote and the GeoNet client decks.

1. **Cinematic (DEFAULT for outward-facing)** — `deck-cinematic.html` is the engine
   (single file: still → film → still, availability probe with crossfade fallback, skip
   protection, ambient idle loop, entrance choreography, `?slide=N` deep links,
   `?static=1` for screenshots). A working demo world ships in `world/` (Imperium's AIOS
   keynote world) — replace it with your own chain. Generation method, prompts, SSIM seam
   gate, QA protocol, real cost model: `../skills/continuous-world-technique.md` +
   `../skills/continuous-world-mission-template.md`.
2. **Static premium (middle tier)** — generated world backgrounds per slide, no transition
   films (crossfades only). Method: `../skills/imperium-presentation.md`. Use when video
   spend isn't budgeted or the deck must be a flat PDF.
3. **Utility (internal only)** — `deck-template.html`, token-only, zero AI spend. Working
   sessions, print handouts. It is NOT the Imperium presentation look; never send it to a
   client or present it on stage.

## Files

- `invoice.html` — A4 invoice. Entity block (public): **Imperium Group Holdings LLC**, a
  Wyoming limited liability company, EIN 38-4393886. Payment rails ship as `{{WISE_*}}`
  placeholders BY DESIGN: internal sessions fill them from the private contracting rules
  (rule 33); external users substitute their own rails. Never publish real bank details.
- `letterhead.html` — A4 letter shell, empty body slot.
- `email-signature.html` — table-based, inline styles, system font stacks (email clients
  strip webfonts/external CSS). Host the logo at a public URL for `{{LOGO_URL}}`.
- `deck-cinematic.html` — THE Imperium deck engine (tier 1 above). Self-contained; demo
  world in `world/` (4 stills, 2 transition films, 1 ambient loop from the shipped AIOS
  keynote). Films PLAY at 1.3x; a missing film degrades to a 700ms crossfade so partial
  worlds still ship. Print support bakes each slide's still behind the text.
- `deck-template.html` — utility deck (tier 3 above): 16:9 six token-only layouts (title /
  agenda / big-stat / split / quote / closing), arrow-key nav, dark + `?theme=light`,
  print-to-PDF one slide per page. Zero AI spend. Internal use only.

## Document conventions

- **Invoice numbering:** `IMP-YYYY-NNN` (year + zero-padded sequence), quoted as the
  transfer reference.
- **Print shape rules:** R40 is a SCREEN radius — it does not apply inside A4 print
  documents. Print panels use 10px max (the invoice pay panel); tables use flat 1px-1.5px
  rules (ink at 10-22% for hairlines, Racing Green for the head rule).
- **Numbers:** `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` on every figure, total, date, and ID.
- **Type:** Emilio Light for the document title only; Switzer for everything else.
  One green accent system (Racing Green); no Ember on documents unless something is
  genuinely overdue (then exactly one).
- **Text stays text.** Never rasterise a document or let an image model draw any part of
  one. The only non-text asset is the logo SVG, used verbatim from `logos/`.
- **Terms wording** (fill per engagement): payment due per `{{DUE}}`; governing law and
  any late-fee terms come from the signed contract, not the invoice — do not invent them.

## Print/render check

Headless print-to-PDF (`--print-to-pdf` in Chrome, or the browser dialog) and READ the PDF:
layout intact, tabular figures aligned, nothing clipped. That is the documents-layer
verification step in the deploy ritual.
