Organization portal preview
Secure login will power partner workspaces.
This screen is a front-end placeholder. The next technical step is to connect real authentication, organization accounts, and saved budget records using Supabase or Clerk.
Pilot note: For the first company test, use this as the visible portal entry point while the current budget builder remains the working tool behind the scenes. The budget builder link is connected to the public pilot version.
