Opportunity Thesis

Build a 'TurboTax for Evictions' targeting the 90% of tenants without lawyers. Use a 'Vibe-Coded' wizard to map user chat to state-specific PDF defense forms. Charge a flat R$ 199 or $99 per filing. Mitigate the 'no money' problem by partnering with NGOs or using a 'Pay Later' model via PIX/Stripe. MVP: A Next.js app that generates a 'Notice of Contest' for Florida or São Paulo eviction cases in under 10 minutes.

Why Now

The 'unrepresented' market is the largest untapped segment in law, but it requires a low-cost, high-automation model.

The volume is massive, but the LTV is low. This is a 'efficiency' play, not a 'premium' play.
