Before each tax season, generates client-signed engagement letters, a document receipt checklist, and a questionnaire with a written record of client answers — protecting preparers from malpractice claims.

killed: Generating state-specific compliance checklists from public law data is a valid use of AI, but it is trivially replicable using publicly available statutes and requires no proprietary data. Any PI association, legal publisher, or competing developer could ship an identical tool quickly, and the PI market is too small to support a defensible standalone business.
killed: Recruiting ATSs like Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby along with HR platforms like Workday and Rippling are actively building candidate risk assessment features, and the specific analysis — flagging job-hopping or compensation expectation gaps — is lightweight enough that it will be absorbed as a platform feature rather than sustaining a standalone product.
killed: Document generation for change orders requires no proprietary data and can be replicated by any developer with API access over a weekend; without a moat beyond the initial template, the product is perpetually one clone away from zero pricing power.
