Opportunity Thesis

Build an 'Eligibility-as-a-Service' portal using the T3 Stack. Integrate Argyle or Pinwheel APIs to automatically pull payroll data and generate state-specific compliance PDFs. Charge $5/month to the user or sell as a white-labeled 'churn reduction' tool to state health agencies. Mitigate political volatility by building a modular system that can pivot to other benefit types (SNAP/WIC) if Medicaid rules shift.

Why Now

This is a massive administrative tax on the most vulnerable; automation is the only way to prevent mass churn.

18.5M people with a monthly 'homework assignment' is a massive, forced-adoption market.
