Eligibility systems can become conservative when live signals arrive late.
Fast decisions matter at checkout, but a stale or missing signal can change who receives coverage.
Who you’d be doing this for

What is at stake
Fallback scores now decide 6.8% of coverage requests, up from 0.9%. You must restore intended access without weakening the decision controls that protect members and the product.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- coverage availability vs. feature freshness
- fast recovery vs. root-cause repair
- approval access vs. decision integrity
Why Chime
SpotMe coverage decisions affect members at the moment a routine purchase exceeds their available balance.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
