Tidewatt — 90-Day MVP Roadmap

Success: a prepaid customer photographs a real voucher, sees days-of-light, and pays JPS the way they already pay — not through us.


Days 1–21

  • Maintain v1 tariff snapshot from current public JPS/OUR documents (date-stamped).
  • PWA: shutter, confirm lines, official-pay copy only.
  • Legal: we are not a bill-pay agent. Write it on the box.

Days 22–50

  • Extract for the two most common bill layouts + prepaid receipt.
  • Days-of-light math with an explicit confidence (if we lack days of history, say so).
  • Three-action planner with medical/child locks.

Days 51–75

  • WhatsApp-to-self low-credit (opt-in).
  • One parish desk (credit union or community centre) for “is this real?”
  • Field test in Spanish Town and a rural prepaid pocket.

Days 76–90

  • Optional J$400 Watch, cash/Lynk to named account, after 4 free weeks.
  • Public clone-report number.
