The 5 W's of S.E.N.T.I.N.E.L S.Y.X

Every Sr. TPM decision mapped to intent, audience, scope, timeline, and delivery mechanism.

W
WHO β€” Target Audience
Primary: 19M U.S. Veterans seeking VA claims optimization

Secondary: VSOs (500+ partner orgs), employers with veteran ERGs, VA-accredited attorneys, investors in govtech

Protected: Active-duty transitioning, disabled veterans with PTSD/TBI, elderly veterans (65+), homeless veteran cohorts
W
WHAT β€” Platform Function
Core: AI-powered VA disability claims optimization engine with 13B-parameter custom LLM

Capabilities: Eligibility assessment, evidence capture, nexus letter generation, appeals workflow, C&P exam prep, benefits tracking

Differentiator: 95%+ domain accuracy vs. 60-70% for general-purpose LLMs on VA regulations
W
WHEN β€” Timeline & Milestones
Phase 1: Foundation (Weeks 1-2) β€” Scaffold, CI/CD, base Express

Phase 2: Auth Migration (Weeks 3-4) β€” JWT/OAuth2, RBAC

Phase 3: Data Layer (Weeks 5-6) β€” Sequelize, PostgreSQL

Phase 4: API Endpoints (Weeks 7-8) β€” REST, validation

Phase 5: AI Integration (Weeks 9-10) β€” LLM wiring, load testing
W
WHERE β€” Deployment & Reach
Infrastructure: Docker + Kubernetes on VPS (DigitalOcean/Render), PM2 clustering

Data Residency: U.S.-based PostgreSQL HA cluster with FIPS 140-2 encryption

Channels: Web SPA (React), Mobile (Capacitor iOS/Android), Desktop (Electron), Tablet (PWA)

Compliance Zone: HIPAA, VA Security Directive 6500, SOC 2 Type II (Q3 2026)
W
WHY β€” Market Viability
Problem: Veterans spend $3K-$10K on claims attorneys; 70% of initial claims are denied

TAM: $4.2B veteran legal services market growing 8.4% YoY

Revenue Model: $499 Lifetime tier (current), SaaS subscription for VSOs ($2K-$5K/yr), B2B employer licensing

Impact: Democratize access to VA benefits expertise at 1/20th the cost of traditional legal support
