+# doc-generator
+
+Python-based document and report generator.
+
+This project is intended to combine the form-driven document generation workflow of `word-doc-generator` with a cleaner Python backend structure similar to `document-processor`.
+
+## Planned Structure
+
+- `app/` - Python web application entrypoint and backend logic
+- `content/` - reusable templates, report definitions, shared text, and configuration
+- `calculations/` - calculation modules used by reports
+- `inputs/` - source files and uploaded data for generation runs
+- `outputs/` - intermediate generated files
+- `exports/` - final downloadable reports/documents
+- `archive/` - archived generation runs or prior outputs
+- `diagnostics/` - troubleshooting and processing diagnostics
+- `settings/` - app settings and environment-independent configuration
+- `static/` - frontend assets
+- `scripts/` - helper scripts
+- `tests/` - automated tests
