HIPAA flag: US health data requires BAA-capable hosting, encryption at rest, audit logging, and specific access controls. This changes the architecture and price significantly. We will scope it separately.
Multi-tenancy flag: Multiple branches or vendors seeing only their own data is an architecture decision made on day one. We will design tenant isolation from the ground up.
