Soloshield
A leave and accommodation case workspace that versions federal and state rule candidates, shows calculations, preserves the interactive process, and produces a counsel-reviewable evidence packet.
A direct free competitor already provides federal leave case management, rolling calculations, government forms, an accommodation interactive-process tracker, and a Bradford-factor calculator to the same 50–250-employee solo-HR segment. Soloshield cannot differentiate on basic calculators or forms. Its remaining hypothesis is the overlap between federal leave, state paid-family-and-medical-leave programs, employer policy, disability accommodation, payroll, benefits, and a correctable evidence history. The product does not issue eligibility, entitlement, disability, accommodation, discipline, termination, retaliation, or legal-compliance decisions. It generates source-linked calculation candidates and tasks for authorized HR, counsel, payroll, benefits, and managers. A signed packet proves retained artifact integrity—not admissibility, legal correctness, good faith, complete interactive process, or a courtroom defense. The original API shortcuts could not be verified; the product must build or license a current rules process and verify every source. Medical information is tightly restricted, and no leave or accommodation data may be used for performance scoring or workforce selection.
The solo HR operator, people operations leader, counsel, or leave administrator at a 50–250-employee company managing overlapping leave and accommodation cases.
Three new 2026 state programs and many tracked state changes create current operational pressure.
Solo HR operators at 50–250-employee firms are a concrete role and segment.
New state programs increase overlap complexity, while a free product already covers the basic workflow.
A clear forced-buyer segment, three new state programs, a direct category validator, and a difficult multi-rule evidence workflow support demand.
The direct competitor is free, no API was verified, legal and medical judgment is substantial, evidence does not create a defense, and rules require costly maintenance.
