Marcus Personal
Vision
Get Marcus Draney earning independent income via DoorDash. Two parallel blockers to clear: birth certificate → driver's license → DoorDash signup (identity track), and LLC → car insurance → car registration (vehicle track). Once both tracks complete, Marcus is legally on the road and background-checked for delivery work.
User Stories
- US-1: As Marcus, I need a valid Utah driver's license so I can legally drive and DoorDash. Requires birth certificate from PA Vital Records first.
- US-2: As Marcus, I need car insurance on the 2013 Chevy Cruze (VIN: 1G1PC5SB0D7156952) so I can drive it legally. Progressive partial payment of $79.79 made 2026-04-06 — policy binding status to verify.
- US-3: As Marcus, I need the Chevy Cruze registered at Utah DMV so it is road-legal. Depends on insurance + title + emissions test.
- US-4: As Marcus, I need to pass DoorDash background check and onboarding so I can start earning.
- US-5: As Marcus, I need kanban + project management training so I can grow as a co-operator of our businesses.
Architecture
Two parallel tracks. Identity and vehicle are independent until they converge at DoorDash signup.
Chain of Events (Why We're Here)
- Marcus has a working 2013 Chevy Cruze (VIN: 1G1PC5SB0D7156952) but can't drive it legally.
- Marcus needs a driver's license — originally blocked on birth certificate from PA Vital Records (ordered, confirm receipt).
- Chevy Cruze needs insurance + registration — blocked on LLC formation (Pal Enterprises, tracked in
westside-accounting). - DoorDash signup requires both a valid license AND a registered insured vehicle. Background check takes 3-7 days after signup.
