Vocational analysis built to hold up under cross-examination.

The challenge

Vocational analysis sits where regulation, data, and litigation meet. Professionals assess how a person’s physical capacities affect the work available to them, using government occupational and employment data, and then have to defend that analysis under cross-examination.

The client needed complex government regulations and datasets translated into a secure, scalable system whose results could be traced back to their source.

What we built

• A three-step workflow built around a residual functional capacity checklist, where users define physical capacities.
• Government dataset integration, cross-referencing those capacities against occupational and employment data.
• Real-time job-impact calculations at national, state, and local level.
• An audit trail that cites the exact source data inline, so each result can be traced and defended.
• Subscription billing powered by Stripe.

How we delivered it

We translated the regulations and data into a precise workflow first, then built the system around it. Each step records the source data it draws on, so the audit trail is part of the product rather than a report assembled after the fact.

The platform runs on Node.js and Next.js with PostgreSQL and Redis, deployed on AWS, with Stripe handling subscriptions.

The outcome

The platform is live as a subscription product for legal and vocational professionals. Job-impact calculations run in real time, and results cite their source data inline, which is what lets the analysis hold up in formal review.
