TaxDay and Topia (formerly Monaeo) already sell automated days-in-state residency tracking to exactly this audience, so there's no wedge. Worse, the brief's own challenge section admits iOS background limits will leave fatal gaps in the 'indisputable' ledger and that storing HNW individuals' continuous locations is a SOC2 honeypot a solo dev can't run. iOS will aggressively suspend the background location polling process to save battery, causing fatal tracking gaps that destroy the 'indisputable' audit log promise and expose the founder to massive liability.

Secure the 5 pre-sales at $250/yr from a community movers via a Stripe link BEFORE building, and prove on your own phone a background tracker survives 60 days without a coverage gap iOS won't let you close. An iOS prototype can successfully run in the background for 14 continuous days without being terminated by the OS or requiring user intervention to stay alive.
Aggressive state franchise boards (like CA and NY) are launching residency audits on remote workers and founders fleeing high-tax states. Defending against these audits requires rigorous 'proof of life'. A community post with 18.8k upvotes highlights how even billionaires are fleeing CA's proposed 5% wealth tax, but normal high-earners get crushed by audits simply because they lack an organized, mathematical proof of their physical location.
