@Kailey โ tagging you so this hits your inbox. 10-minute read, ~30 hrs/week ROI. ๐ฅ
<aside> ๐ฏ
I lined up 4 strategic asks to Assembly that would kill ~30+ hours a week of the workarounds you're stuck in today โ template drift, PageAI copy-paste, claim-level plumbing, and 4-hour re-auth pain. Each one is already drafted and ready to submit. I need your 10-minute review + green light before I send them.
Separately: 7 point-requests already submitted to Assembly today. This is the next wave โ bigger, strategic, longer time-horizon.

๐ซ Your pain today:
OSDRI maintains custom Python scripts (fill_4138_*.py, build_4138_compare_on_form.py) that duplicate the Templates feature Assembly ships in admin UI. Every time you update a 4138 template, we have to update code too. Two sources of truth.
โจ What we want:
API endpoints to invoke Neos Templates programmatically:
GET /v1/templates โ list templates with schemaPOST /v1/templates/{id}/render โ render with case dataPOST /v1/cases/{id}/documents/from-template โ render + attach to case in one callโฑ๏ธ You save: ~8 hrs/week of script maintenance + zero template drift risk
๐ค VALOR unlock: Auto-draft a 4138 the moment claim data is sufficient โ no scheduled batch, no manual trigger

๐ซ Your pain today:
Neos has NeosAI Chat, AI Tags, and AI Prompts right there in admin UI โ but no API to invoke them. EC workflow today:
โจ What we want:
POST /v1/ai/invoke โ run any configured AI Prompt against case dataPOST /v1/cases/{id}/documents/{id}/analyze โ apply AI Tags to a docGET/POST/PATCH /v1/ai/tags and /v1/ai/prompts โ programmatic controlโฑ๏ธ You save: ~10 hrs/week + kill PageAI subscription + kill JotForm dependency
๐ค VALOR unlock: AI analysis native in Neos โ single source of truth, no external round-trips, no copy-paste

๐ซ Your pain today:
Claims are buried in UserCaseData. Every per-claim update = GET full case โ mutate โ PUT full case back. Slow. Race conditions with your UI edits. No per-claim webhook events.
โจ Updated ask (after deeper exploration of Neos today):
Neos already has a pattern called DynamicForms โ uncapped, first-class custom entities tied to a case. It's already used for Line Item, Receipt, Medication, Medical Condition, Examinations, Dependent, etc. Cleaner ask: migrate Claims from UserCaseData to the DynamicForms pattern. Uses Assembly's existing architecture instead of inventing a new Claims API. Same outcome for us.
โฑ๏ธ You save: same as before โ per-claim queries, faster updates, event-driven automation
๐ค VALOR unlock: React to individual claim events โ when a statement arrives, auto-generate the 4138 for that specific claim (requires DynamicForms write+webhooks, tracked as ASB-116 + ASB-117 in Tier 2)

๐ซ Your pain today:
4-hour access tokens force re-auth every session. MCP server 401s when tokens expire mid-work. Credential rotation needs you + me + Assembly coordinating. Shared readonly/readwrite profiles = credential reuse across services (if one leaks, all leak).
โจ What we want:
client_credentials grantโฑ๏ธ You save: ~2 hrs/week on re-auth + rotation headaches + MCP disruptions
๐ค VALOR unlock: True 24/7 automation that survives weekends, holidays, credential rotation, and individual staff turnover

| Ask | Priority | Kailey hrs/week saved | VALOR capability unlocked | ASB-100 Templates | ๐ฅ Critical 5 | ~8 | Auto-4138 on data sufficiency |

*ASB-102 savings show up as VALOR time (instant 4138 generation on claim events) rather than direct Kailey hours, but compounds across every case.
