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.

TRACK A: IDENTITY (unblocks Marcus legally driving)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
  Birth Cert ($30, PA Vital Records) ──> Utah Driver's License ($23)
        (done — westside-accounting#3)                      │
                                                            ↓
                                                    DoorDash signup
                                                    (3-7 day background check)

TRACK B: VEHICLE (unblocks the Chevy Cruze being legal)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  LLC (Pal Enterprises — westside-accounting) ──> Car Insurance ──> Car Registration
         └── cross-project dependency              (marcus-personal#1) (marcus-personal#2)
                                                                                  │
                                                                                  ↓
                                                                          DoorDash signup
                                                                          (vehicle verified)

CONVERGENCE: Both tracks complete → Marcus DoorDashing → income flowing

Chain of Events (Why We're Here)

1. Marcus has a working 2013 Chevy Cruze (VIN: 1G1PC5SB0D7156952) but can't drive it legally.
2. Marcus needs a driver's license — originally blocked on birth certificate from PA Vital Records (ordered, confirm receipt).
3. Chevy Cruze needs insurance + registration — blocked on LLC formation (Pal Enterprises, tracked in westside-accounting).
4. DoorDash signup requires both a valid license AND a registered insured vehicle. Background check takes 3-7 days after signup.
