+    description:
+      'Navly helps prospective immigrants understand their pathway to Canadian permanent residence. Users answer a short profile questionnaire and receive estimated CRS scores, matched pathways (CEC, FSW, FST, PNP, study-to-PR), identified gaps, and province-by-province PNP options — no passport or SIN required. The paid tier adds an AI immigration assistant, permit expiry reminders, and full score breakdowns.',

+      'Designed and built Navly from scratch — adaptive intake flow, CRS scoring logic, pathway matching engine, and the freemium SaaS structure. Built the AI assistant for general immigration guidance and the province-by-province PNP matching for the paid tier.',
+    rationaleProblem:
+      'Canadian immigration pathways are genuinely complex. Most people don\'t know their CRS score, which pathway applies to them, or what gaps they need to close — and hiring a consultant just to get a baseline understanding is expensive.',
+    rationaleChallenge:
+      'Build a tool that gives accurate, personalized pathway assessments without collecting sensitive documents, and structure it as a sustainable freemium product.',
+    rationaleSolution:
+      'An adaptive intake flow that asks only the questions relevant to each user\'s situation, a CRS scoring engine, and pathway matching logic — free to screen, paid to go deeper with AI guidance and PNP matching.',
