summary
Site receives about 8 million visitors Day One yet forces up-front mandatory registration that creates a bottleneck; a tiny estimator app appears later but lacks purchase detail. Forms show an optional field behaving as required (radio button you cannot deselect), and some applications lock with a JavaScript exception causing an infinite “please wait” visible via browser dev tools; other records end up with null first names, wrong eligibility PDFs, mailed appeals with no manual override, and duplicated family members.
