Contract disputes lack affordable interim resolution before litigation

Small business owners facing contract disputes under $50,000 cannot afford litigation ($10,000-30,000+) or arbitration fees, yet mediation options are fragmented, hard to schedule, and sometimes still expensive ($2,000-5,000). They lack a transparent, streamlined platform showing mediator qualifications, cost upfront, guaranteed response timelines, and clear dispute type matching without needing a lawyer to refer them.
