Executive summary
Current state
EPA's ECHO database systematically identifies facilities with compliance violations and documents $9.5M+ penalties, creating a target-rich environment for compliance automation and insurance solutions while facilities operate with manual spreadsheet processes.
Market catalyst
EPA inspectors systematically document facilities using manual spreadsheets for compliance tracking in inspection reports, creating a hidden pattern of 'spreadsheet compliance failures' that has never been aggregated or analyzed - facilities continue using inadequate systems because they've never seen the aggregated penalty data.
