+# Aartha React Prototype
+
+Reusable Next.js 14 + TypeScript + Tailwind implementation of the Aartha Labs UI concept.
+
+## What is included
+
+- Marketing website at `/`
+- Web app dashboard at `/dashboard` or `/app`
+- Mobile screen showcase at `/mobile`
+- Reusable components under `components/`
+- Shared data and PRD-derived content under `lib/data.ts`
+
+## Component structure
+
+- `components/ui` - primitive reusable UI: buttons, cards, chips, progress bars, logo
+- `components/charts` - SVG chart components: area, donut, gauge, mini bars
+- `components/finance` - finance-specific reusable cards and rows
+- `components/marketing` - marketing page sections composed from UI primitives
+- `components/dashboard` - dashboard shell, navigation, views, Ask Aartha
+- `components/mobile` - phone frame and mobile screen compositions
+
+## Run locally
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Then open:
+
+- `http://localhost:3000`
+- `http://localhost:3000/dashboard`
+- `http://localhost:3000/mobile`
+
+## Notes for engineering handoff
+
+This is still a front-end prototype. There is no backend, auth, Plaid integration, or real AI service connected yet. The structure is intentionally reusable so the product team can preserve the visual direction while engineers replace static data with API-backed state.
