Key Pain Points

Data & privacy regulations -- storing and scoring worker data triggers legal and reputational risk; background-check rules vary by state/country.
Incumbent marketplaces -- established lead platforms already control buyer demand channels and can bundle vetting services.
High CAC & trust gap -- convincing small operators to switch from referrals/unions requires demonstrable ROI and low onboarding friction.
