Opportunity BasketContractor Verification & Performance Bond Service
A post-disaster contractor vetting and bonding service that issues performance bonds backed by insurance underwriters. Homeowners pay a small fee to verify a contractor's license, insurance, prior work history, and customer satisfaction scores; contractors who pass are bonded at 10–25% of contract value, ensuring funds are recoverable if work is abandoned or fraudulent. The bond is held in escrow and released only upon job completion and homeowner sign-off.

Value Proposition
Unlike generic licensing checks, this creates financial accountability: a bonded contractor has skin in the game and can be sued for bond recovery if they vanish or defraud. Homeowners get a single, trusted verification source within 24–48 hours of disaster declaration, and insurance companies reduce claim leakage by steering payouts through verified contractors.

Key Features
- Rapid license and insurance verification via state databases and NICB checks

Hurricane disaster victims cannot verify legitimate contractors and struggle to identify fraudulent repair schemesHomeowners recovering from hurricanes face predatory contractors and fraudulent schemes that drain insurance payouts and leave properties unrepaired. Victims lack reliable ways to vet contractors, verify credentials, and identify scams before signing contracts, resulting in financial loss and prolonged displacement. Current solutions (basic licensing checks, word-of-mouth) fail because fraudsters operate with fake credentials and disappear after collecting deposits.
