Load a first cohort

Test intake, upload flow, and readiness rules on a small sample.

Commercial framing

Sell the first engagement as a narrow readiness workflow, not a lending platform.

The cleanest launch offer is one partner, one loan type, one borrower cohort, and one short success review. That keeps scope credible and keeps the site honest.
