License OS
The Operating System for Alabama Electrical Journeymen Pursuing Their Contractor License
Built by an 11-year journeyman who lived the process. Every tool you need — logs, CRM, deadlines, exam prep — in one system.
The Alabama Electrical Contractors Board license isn't just an exam — it's a years-long paper trail.
You need 8,000 logged qualifying hours across four categories, co-signed affidavits from licensed contractors, two passing exam scores (Trade + Business Law), and a bureaucratic application that touches five different agencies. Most journeymen take twice as long as they should. Not because they don't know the work — but because there was never a system built for this specific journey.
Until now.
Nine tools. One system.
Mission Control
Your complete licensing picture at a glance. Total hours vs. the 8,000-hour goal, daily logging streak, hours breakdown by category, and your board deadline timeline — all in one view.
Log Every Hour. Flag Every Risk.
Log qualifying hours by category — Commercial/Industrial, Residential, Supervision & Layout, Maintenance — with built-in scrutiny warnings that flag audit risks before you submit. Export a PDF ledger or filtered CSV.
Manage Your Affidavit Pipeline
The licensed contractors who sign your affidavit are the gating factor. Hit List manages them through a 6-stage pipeline with one-click PDF affidavit generation, staleness warnings, and a live tally of hours secured per contractor.
Know Exactly Where You Stand
Calculates your exact milestone chain: Hours Complete → Provisional Exam → Application Deadline → Board Meeting → License Projected. The AECB meets quarterly — missing a cutoff costs you three months.
AI Exam Practice
Two modes powered by GPT-4o: Inspector Mode (you're the contractor, the AI plays a tough AHJ — defend your code call) and Text Drill (rapid-fire Q&A on specific code sections). This isn't passive review. It's simulation.
SM-2 Spaced Repetition
40 cards spanning NEC code, Alabama electrical law, and Business Law. Rate each card Blank, Shaky, or Nailed — the algorithm surfaces them at the optimal interval. Filter by subject. Know the material before you walk in.
Build the Company, Not Just the License
Drag-and-drop Kanban for the milestones that come after licensing: business entity formation, bonding, insurance, first hires, first jobs. For journeymen who aren't just chasing a license — they're building a company.
Everything in One Place
Drag-and-drop storage for license documents, reference letters, insurance certificates, and co-signed affidavits — organized, previewable, and shareable directly from your phone.
Nothing Gets Missed
Every AECB licensing requirement, in order, broken into categories. Work through it step by step. The process is long — this makes sure you don't skip a single item.
