            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After months of development, StandardPSA 1.0 ships all six core modules together for the first time: projects, time, billing, CRM, resource planning, and financial reporting.</p>
<p>Here is what changed from the beta and what you should do first after upgrading:</p>
<ul>
<li class=""><strong>Projects, time, billing, CRM, resource planning, and financial reporting</strong> now run on a single integrated data model — no more syncing between modules.</li>
<li class="">Every billable activity (time entries, expenses, milestones, retainer draws) flows into one billing record per client.</li>
<li class="">Industry profiles ship preset billing types and report templates for legal, accounting, agencies, IT consulting, engineering, and healthcare consulting.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>After upgrading:</strong> review your billing model settings per engagement, re-run your utilization report baselines, and check the new approval workflow defaults for time entries.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We rebuilt the billing module from the ground up. The old interface required 11 clicks to generate an invoice. The new one takes 3.</p>
<p>A walkthrough of what changed and why we made each decision:</p>
<ul>
<li class=""><strong>Billing runs</strong> now pull all approved time and expenses for a period automatically — no manual line-item selection.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Review screen</strong> shows every line item with inline discount and write-off controls before anything is finalized.</li>
<li class=""><strong>One-step generation</strong> produces PDF invoices for every client in the run at once.</li>
</ul>
<p>Screenshots and the full before/after comparison will be published alongside the next release.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How one accounting firm used StandardPSA's AI training files to build an AI agent that runs their monthly billing cycle without manual intervention.</p>
<p>What worked, what needed tweaking, and the approach they used:</p>
<ul>
<li class=""><strong>Module schema files</strong> taught the agent what fields exist on billing records, their types, and allowed values.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Workflow process maps</strong> gave the agent the step-by-step monthly billing procedure: lock the period, review WIP, generate invoices, send to clients, record payments.</li>
<li class=""><strong>The API reference for AI agents</strong> provided example requests and response shapes for each step.</li>
</ul>
