What we built
We delivered a complete, production-ready SaaS platform encompassing frontend, backend, infrastructure, payments, SEO, and security — all built to enterprise standards.
Intelligent ticket analysis engine
OCR-powered intake using Google Vision API extracts PCN number, issuer, dates, contravention code and penalty amount from a photo — parsed in seconds.
Legal strategy detection system
A rules engine encoding 35 appeal strategies across private (18) and council (17) tickets, evaluating ticket data against a hierarchy of legal grounds and ranking them by effectiveness. Includes 30+ operator profiles.
Professional document generation
Generates tailored appeal letters in DOCX and PDF, each referencing specific legislation, evidence requirements and the formal structure operators and tribunals expect.
Frictionless conversion funnel
A 6-step flow optimised for conversion — Upload → Analysis → Questions → Processing → Preview → Download — with no login required until users have seen their strategies.
