Takes the registration list (with optional skill ratings, buddy requests, and neighborhood zones) → generates balanced team assignments that optimize for skill parity, honor buddy requests where possible, minimize family travel, and produces assignment letters for all families.

killed: Church workflow automation with no proprietary data accumulation or real switching cost — any congregation could replace this with Google Forms, a basic CRM, and advanced AI. The prayer categorization logic can be replicated in an afternoon, and existing church management software like Planning Center and Breeze could add this as a minor feature update.
killed: Animal shelter operations are run by nonprofits with minimal technology budgets, and intake triage workflow automation provides no lasting competitive advantage — the core product is straightforward to replicate and accumulates no proprietary data asset that would survive a well-funded shelter management platform adding the same feature.
killed: Rehearsal scheduling is already handled by free calendar and availability polling tools (Doodle, When2Meet, Google Calendar) that community theaters use; a specialized AI version addresses no new need that would justify a paid standalone product for organizations with volunteer-level budgets.
