ReadySetBind
Placement-to-bind automation for insurance agencies. A quote PDF goes in, AI extracts the fields, and a human verifies every one before anything binds coverage. Live with a pilot agency; 1,129 commits across 26 active days.
TariffRefunded
Tariff-refund recovery for small importers. Protest windows close on a fixed legal schedule and the refund pool shrinks 8–10% a month, so the whole product races the clock. Free analysis; broker partnership in progress.
