1.3. Automate audit readiness in ABA therapy, supporting efficient workflows for therapists, supervisors, and compliance officers.
1.4. Enable transparent documentation status tracking for all clients and sessions, minimizing manual checks.

2.2. Real-time detection when a session log, consent, or billing record is not uploaded within X hours/days of session.
2.3. User-submitted form triggers indicating session completion but missing associated documentation.
