Product Facts
What ClearToFill does, what it does not do, and how its numbers are defined — kept in step with the implementation, and verified by the same test suite that gates every release. Where a claim is backed by an automated check, the evidence is named.
What ClearToFill is
- ClearToFill is a deployment intelligence and action layer for credential-dependent staffing.
- It answers: who could be working but is not, why they are blocked, which blocker matters most economically, what should happen next, and whether the intervention actually helped — then executes the document chase and tracks the outcome honestly.
- Verified by opportunity.ts, recommendations.ts, chase.ts in the automated suite.
- ClearToFill is not an ATS, not payroll, not scheduling, not a job board, and not a generic credential repository.
- It sits across the systems an agency already runs. Today it ingests roster and shift spreadsheets; direct system connectors are on the roadmap, not in the product.
- Verified by future-roadmap.md in the automated suite.
Economic definitions
Three different figures appear in the product. They measure different things and are never mixed in one sentence.
- Potential billings (per worker) deliberately double-count shifts shared between blocked workers, and are used only to rank the queue.
- Two blocked nurses on one shift are two ways to lose it.
- Verified by opportunity.test.ts, board-pure.test.ts in the automated suite.
- Billings at risk counts each open shift once — never once per blocked worker — and excludes shifts an already-cleared worker can cover.
- One $900 shift with five blocked candidates is $900 at risk, not $4,500 — and $0 if a cleared worker can already take it.
- Verified by golden-scenarios.test.ts, product-truth.test.ts in the automated suite.
- Incremental opportunity is a per-worker counterfactual: only shifts that would become coverable if this specific worker were cleared, given everyone else’s availability.
- It is not additive across workers, and the product never sums it.
- Verified by opportunity.test.ts in the automated suite.
- "Recovered revenue" is never claimed from a cleared credential. Each outcome rung — identified, action started, blocker resolved, worker deployable, shift filled, billings confirmed — is a separate recorded event, and only agency-confirmed billings support revenue language.
- Verified by outcomes.ts, outcomes.test.ts in the automated suite.
- Shifts without a bill rate are counted and shown as unpriced — never silently valued at zero and never estimated.
- Verified by opportunity.test.ts, product-truth.test.ts in the automated suite.
Eligibility and readiness
- Credential requirements compose from three sources — role defaults, facility requirements, and shift-specific requirements — and every blocker names which source demanded it.
- Verified by requirements.ts, requirements.test.ts in the automated suite.
- Credential validity is evaluated as of each shift date. A credential expiring after a shift does not block that shift.
- Verified by credentials.test.ts, eligibility.test.ts in the automated suite.
- "Today" means today where the agency operates, not the server’s UTC date — boards do not roll over at 8pm Eastern.
- Verified by dates.test.ts, 0004_pilot_safety.sql in the automated suite.
- "Cleared" in ClearToFill means: every credential requirement configured for the role, facility, and shift is satisfied by evidence a person at the agency accepted. It is an operational readiness signal, not a legal determination of eligibility to work.
- Verified by credentials.ts in the automated suite.
Where AI runs — and where it never does
- AI runs in exactly one place: reading uploaded credential documents into a structured observation (type, dates, holder, confidence).
- Verified by anthropic.ts, ai-boundaries.md in the automated suite.
- AI never clears a worker, never changes compliance status, and never computes a dollar figure. Every uploaded document goes through human review before it counts.
- Pending documents do not clear anyone — enforced by the credential engine, not by convention.
- Verified by product-truth.test.ts, credentials.test.ts in the automated suite.
- When automatic reading fails or is unavailable, the document still lands in manual review and the worker’s upload flow never breaks.
- Verified by documents.ts in the automated suite.
- The extraction model is instructed never to infer or calculate an expiration date that is not printed on the document, and low-confidence readings are flagged for review with a reason.
- Verified by anthropic.ts in the automated suite.
Data quality and confidence
- Every economic figure carries a confidence level derived from data completeness — unknown availability and missing bill rates lower it, and the reasons are shown.
- Verified by completeness.ts, completeness.test.ts in the automated suite.
- When open-shift data goes stale, the product says so instead of presenting old demand as current.
- Verified by attention.test.ts in the automated suite.
Actions
- ClearToFill recommends the next intervention with a deterministic rationale; a person approves it by sending. The only action it executes today is the credential document request (SMS or email) with a secure upload link.
- Verified by recommendations.ts, recommendations.test.ts in the automated suite.
- Outbound contact is guarded: opt-outs are honored permanently, duplicate requests are refused, reminders are capped at two with a 24-hour cooldown, and every channel has a kill switch.
- Verified by communication-safety.test.ts, chase-machine.test.ts in the automated suite.
- Every meaningful intervention is traceable end to end: recommendation → approval → message → worker response → document → review decision → deployability → recorded outcome.
- Verified by 0006_recommendations.sql, action-timeline.ts in the automated suite.
Security
Only implementation-backed claims. The Security page carries the full statement.
- Tenant isolation is enforced in two independent layers — application checks on every request and row-level security in the database — and exercised by automated tests against real PostgreSQL.
- Verified by rls.test.ts in the automated suite.
- The audit trail is append-only, enforced by the database itself — history cannot be edited by anyone, including ClearToFill.
- Verified by migrations.test.ts in the automated suite.
Current limitations
Stated plainly, because a tool you trust has to be honest about its edges.
- ClearToFill holds no SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO certification today. Security controls are real and tested, but no external attestation exists yet.
- Data arrives by spreadsheet import. There is no live ATS, VMS, or scheduling integration yet, so the board is only as current as the last import.
- ClearToFill does not make legal eligibility or licensure determinations, does not perform primary source verification, and is not a substitute for the agency’s own compliance obligations.
- Revenue attribution is honest, which means incomplete: ClearToFill records whether a shift filled and what the agency confirms was billed. It does not claim credit it cannot verify.
- Verified by outcomes.ts in the automated suite.
- Nothing runs autonomously. Every outbound message is human-initiated today; automation levels beyond that will be per-agency, opt-in, and evidenced first.
- Shift overlap is modeled at calendar-day granularity; shift times within a day are not yet considered.
