Headline

This could have many headlines:

Etc. There's a lot that goes on with bankruptcy and we could lean into it.

What is the Feature?

This is a parent issue to group together a collection of large bankruptcy features we could develop.

What Problem Might it Solve?

BankruptcyData.com has a lot of this kind of stuff and has a decade's head start, but there's no good open source for empiricists or simple researchers.

Describe a Scenario in Which the Feature Might be Used

Joe is a bankruptcy attorney that wants to do research, but he can't afford expensive platforms.

Jane is an empirical researcher that wants to understand how healthcare outcomes affect bankruptcy.

Harold wants to understand the bankruptcy process at a granular level and needs good data to do so.

Technical Requirements

This depends on which sub-features we develop.

Existing Systems or Alternatives?
