Could you build this?

Partial The intake form and evidence upload site is trivial, but processing claims requires either manual operational back-office labor or deep integrations into various airline/provider refund dispute procedures.

What it would actually take: The application architecture involves a basic CRUD app (Next.js, Supabase) with document uploads for receipts and screenshots. The difficult part is operational and legal: maintaining active scrapers or direct integrations into airline/inflight-provider customer service dispute portals (Gogo, Viasat, Panasonic, airline-specific forms), negotiating merchant refund flows, and handling high-touch dispute operations for minimal unit economics.
