🛡️ Key Features & Statutory Engines
1. 54-Jurisdiction Statute of Limitations (SOL) Matrix
- Complete statutory lookups across all 54 US jurisdictions (50 US States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and US Virgin Islands) for Credit Card, Medical, Written Contract, and Open Account debts.
- Anti-revival statutory enforcement for jurisdictions where partial payment cannot reset expired debts (e.g., New York CPLR § 214-i, Texas CPRC § 16.004).
2. Debt Collector Licensing & Surety Bond Registry
- Codified regulatory agencies and mandatory bond thresholds (e.g., Texas $10,000 bond, California $25,000 bond, New Jersey $5,000 bond) to immediately catch unlicensed third-party collectors.
3. Evidentiary Brutalism Letter Studio
- 7 codified dispute letter templates covering Debt Validation (15 U.S.C. § 1692g), CFPB Regulation F (12 CFR § 1006.34), No Surprises Act balance billing audits, UCC Article 9 repossession deficiency disputes, and Pay-For-Delete settlements.
- Real-time side-by-side editing pane with live Bates-stamping, legal citation checklists, and one-click print/export.

- ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD Encryption: Authenticated encryption for at-rest storage and encrypted
.smbakbackup archives. - Cryptographic Memory Zeroization: Sensitive consumer data (SSNs, account numbers, master keys) implements
ZeroizeandZeroizeOnDropto scrub memory buffers immediately upon deallocation. - Tamper-Evident Evidence Vault: Automated SHA-256 integrity checksums, OS-level directory sandboxing, and strict MIME-type validation.
- Crash-Resilient SQLite (WAL Mode): Write-Ahead Logging with normal synchronization, resisting process crashes (SIGKILL) and power failure.
