How Urban Acupuncture will use this catalog

1. Explain the real options

Keep designer, size, licensing, approval scope, and official provenance together.

2. Connect concepts carefully

Show which real plans resemble D0 without claiming that the D0 model is their construction set.

3. Add exact fit later

Parcel-specific matching waits for dimensioned geometry and current approval verification.
