[BUDGET & COSTS] Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources

• M1/ Collate data and create JSON representation of the resources currently @ https://cardanowallets.io: 10,000 ADA
• M2/ Use JSON representation to make it searchable based on data schema and user-experience profiles: 7,000 ADA
• M3/ Create a Wallet Builder Update Data & Collaboration App: 20,000 ADA
• M4/ Add AI/GPT Chatbot: 6,000 ADA

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

When entering a new ecosystem, it can be hard for developers & end users to get their bearings.

The quicker they can get an overview and start their onboarding, the quicker they can actively participate within the Cardano ecosystem and work on or use solutions.

It is a small investment to help developers build and users safely engage with wallets.
