# Bittern — Workplace Accommodations

> *Part of the Circuit Forge LLC "AI for the tasks you hate most" suite.*

**Status:** Backlog — not yet started. Peregrine must prove the model first.

## What it does

Bittern helps you request, document, and defend workplace accommodations under the ADA and Section 504 — drafting request letters, logging retaliation incidents, and navigating escalation from HR to the EEOC.

## Why it is hard

Accommodation processes are designed to wear you down:
- No standard form or timeline across employers
- Retaliation is common and hard to document after the fact
- EEOC complaints require precise timing and documentation
- Legal language creates artificial barriers to self-advocacy

## Core pipeline

```
Describe accommodation need
→ AI drafts ADA-compliant request letter → Human review + submit to HR
→ Log incidents with timestamps → If denied, draft appeal or EEOC charge
→ Track deadlines → Escalate to state agency if needed
```
