Umbaji in United States
Prices, payment rails and delivery modelled for United States.
The workshop this was built around
The US market is where Umbaji already runs: the Clarksburg workshop, the machines the quote engine is calibrated against, and the lead times every other market is measured next to.
It is included here as a full market record rather than as the default the code falls back to. With one record, "market record" would just be a Kenya page wearing a data structure. Two records is what makes the abstraction real, and it is what proves that adding a third is configuration rather than a rebuild.

Held and displayed in USD
Country detection on arrival with a manual override that persists. A quote raised in USD stays in USD through checkout, receipt and refund: currency drift between quote and invoice is a common and entirely avoidable source of disputes.

Built to add a market, not rebuilt for one
Currency, payment rail, tax fields and delivery tiers are properties of a market record. Adding a second African market is populating that record and wiring a rail.
