Manual data ingestion, PBC chasing, and contribution testing consume excessive time in EBP audits, threatening capacity to handle 40 engagements with same headcount.

Existing tools are not purpose-built for EBP audit workflows, failing to automate census data ingestion, PBC tracking, and contribution testing in an integrated way.
