AI reads medical records, finds nexus evidence, drafts 38 CFR-aligned claims, and packages everything VA-ready in minutes instead of months. ### [Hospital Ledger](https://hospitalledger.com) Every U.S. hospital price file, in one CC0 dataset · Status: Live Federal rule (45 CFR § 180) requires every U.S. hospital to publish a machine-readable file of standard charges and payer-negotiated rates. CMS doesn't aggregate them. Commercial aggregators paywall their data behind NDAs. Hospital Ledger is an open-source, public-good crawler that pulls 5,426 facilities and 7,191 MRF URLs into a single CC0 dataset — alive/dead status, file format, last-updated date, and the parsed prices behind them. CMS-complaint workflow planned for non-compliant hospitals. ### [SF Permit Navigator](https://sf-permit-detector.barkleesanders.workers.dev) Find the right SF permit in plain language · Status: Building Cloudflare Worker + Hono prototype showing the front door SF permit applicants and staff are asking for: AI matching from plain-language descriptions, intake workspace, dynamic per-permit checklists, public status routing across DBI / Planning / Fire / DPH, demo lab for uploads, fees, plan review, and inspections. Built from public sources — labels every place a city API or credential is still needed. PermitSF stays the official system of record; this is the broader catalog and reform tracker beside it. ### [ImproveBayArea](https://improvebayarea.com) One-tap 311 for the Bay Area · Status: Live One report form for every Bay Area city — pothole, graffiti, encampment, abandoned vehicle, dumping — routed automatically to the right 311 backend (Verint, SeeClickFix, Open311) for SF, Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, San Leandro, Walnut Creek, San Rafael, Vallejo, and more. No login, no app store, no city-by-city download. Built solo on Cloudflare Workers. Civic tech doesn't have to take 18 months and a grant — the APIs are public, the cities are public, the friction is the design. ### [NPS Report](https://nps-report.barkleesanders.workers.dev) One-tap maintenance & safety reports for all 435 national parks · Status: Live Report a broken railing, a safety hazard, or a busted restroom in any U.S. national park — Yosemite to the National Mall — the way ImproveBayArea does it for city 311. Snap a photo and AI writes the title, category, and description; GPS routes the report to the nearest of 435 NPS-covered parks; it's delivered to that park's ranger mailbox through the Park Service's own contact form. No login, no app, no new email infrastructure — built solo on Cloudflare Workers + Hono. The NPS has no public report API, so this is the working proof that citizen-powered park upkeep is one form away. ### [SF Income Verify](https://sf-income-verify.barkleesanders.workers.dev/#how-it-works) Prove income once, apply to any affordable home · Status: Building Civic-tech demo: a centralized income-verification entry point for SF affordable housing. One Plaid payroll check, one 12-character reference, valid for 90 days. Landlords see only an AMI bracket — never the figure, employer, or bank credentials. Cloudflare Workers + Hono + D1, hashed-only storage, GDPR/CCPA endpoints, listings mirrored from SF's public DAHLIA feed. Not affiliated with MOHCD — just showing what's possible when the bottleneck shifts from supply to paperwork. ### [Treasure Island Power](https://www.treasureislandsfpoweroutages.com) Exposing infrastructure failure · Status: Live 500 homes. 529 outages in 25 years. One outage every two weeks. We track every failure, publish the data, and hold SFPUC accountable. ### [ESBE Tech](https://esbe.tech) Honest computer repair · Status: Live $60/hour. No diagnostic fees. No hidden costs. Most fixes take 3 hours. If we can't fix it, we'll tell you who can. ## Field Reports - [The Claude Ledger](https://barkleesanders.com/blog/claude-ledger-2026-04-15/) - A forensic accounting of 30 days of Claude Code usage. 1,193 sessions, 802 displaced hours, $160,400 of senior-engineer-equivalent labor delivered for $400 of subscription cost.
