ICP

Home care / home health aide agencies (5–50 aides). The strongest early customer already feels this problem, uses a workaround today, and can approve a focused tool without a long enterprise buying process.

problem

Independent home care agencies must onboard aides with background checks, I-9s, CPR cert uploads, and state-specific compliance forms before the first shift. Workday is priced for hospital systems; most agencies use paper or Google Forms and miss compliance deadlines.

why it works

Onboarding is a recurring, compliance-driven trigger with clear liability if skipped. Agencies hire constantly due to high turnover (~60% annual). A pre-built checklist engine with state form templates removes the research burden entirely for a non-technical owner.

MVP

Web app with a configurable onboarding checklist builder, document upload + e-signature via PDF-lib, automated reminder emails via Resend, and a simple compliance status dashboard per aide. Pre-load 3 state templates (CA, TX, FL) at launch.

go-to-market

Post in Facebook Groups for home care agency owners and state homecare association forums. Cold-email state-licensed agency lists (public records). Offer a free 30-day trial, then upsell on per-seat pricing. One case study agency as a reference unlocks warm referrals.

pricing

$49/month up to 10 active aides, $99/month up to 30, $199/month up to 100. One-time $199 state compliance template pack as an upsell.
