Basics of Something Beautiful

(Published on 14. June 2021, 07:30 by Mad-Tyas)

A few days ago I published a puzzle using the title "Setters new Toy?" (link) . In that puzzle I presented a (probably) new type of clue with enormous potential.
It was certainly a mistake to present it with this puzzle first, which is extremely difficult and still unsolved.
So here comes a puzzle that introduces the clue type in a simpler and more approachable way.

What is it about:
It is very simple. In addition to the classic Sudoku rules, a clue in a cell tells the sum of the nine digits in the 3x3 area, the clue cell is the center of.

Feel free to let me know in the comments...
...how you liked the puzzle.
...what you think about this type of clue.
...if you know a puzzle in which this type of clue has been used before.

If the clue type is new it needs a cool name. This is a call to help me find one. I look forward to your suggestions

Have fun with the puzzle!

I played around with this enough to get to the horizontal bands in each box and then stopped because I just didn't want to do the rest of the math; but I enjoyed getting to that point.
