We tested it on 12 real price lists using Muse Spark Open, Meta's open-weights model, on Baseten, so no real list went to a hosted API. Every result cites 16 CFR 453 and quotes the list. Code and eval: github.com/butchewing/itemiz…

How it works: Muse Spark turns a photo or PDF into structured data (every item, price and required statement). Fixed rules check it. 13 judgment calls, like "does this say the law requires embalming?", go to a person, never to a fail.

A model reads. Rules decide. Itemized reads funeral price lists with Meta's Muse Spark, then 30 fixed rules written from the FTC Funeral Rule decide what passes. The AI never marks a list as failing on its own say-so. Zero false fails in our eval. Free: itemized.mortuary.ai

Funeral homes get secret-shopped by the FTC. Itemized checks a funeral home's price list against the federal Funeral Rule from phone photos or a PDF, and cites the Rule for every line. Built with Meta's Muse Spark for the Meta AI hackathon. Free: itemized.mortuary.ai

Every funeral home in the US must give families an itemized price list. The FTC checks with undercover calls and sent 39 warning letters in 2024. I built Itemized: snap the price list, and Meta's Muse Spark checks it against the Funeral Rule. itemized.mortuary.ai

All of my career I wanted to be known as a seasoned professional. Now that people call me that I realize they're just saying that I'm old.

I think I’m going to start maxxing maxxing. I’m going to max everything. Does that mean that I’m actually maxxing nothing?
