# Vindexa

Vindexa is the real-time compliance engine for clean energy tax credits.

## What We Do

Vindexa provides continuous prevailing wage and apprenticeship compliance monitoring for clean energy developers, EPCs, and their compliance teams. We replace manual tracking and consultant workflows with automated, real-time verification — catching anomalies within IRS cure windows, automating remediation, and delivering audit-ready documentation for IRA tax credit defensibility.

## Who We Serve

- VP of Tax / CFO at clean energy developers (compliance sign-off, audit defensibility)
- Head of Compliance / compliance managers (day-to-day remediation)
- Mid-market clean energy CFOs (managed service, no dedicated compliance headcount)
- EPCs and general contractors (prevailing wage data submission, issue resolution)
- Tax advisors and clean energy counsel (clean data for their clients)

## Key Concepts

- Golden Record: Vindexa's verified, cross-validated source of truth for every project. The data layer everything downstream depends on. The Golden Record is what a VP of Tax signs under penalties of perjury.
- Cure Window: The IRS deadline for remediating prevailing wage violations before fines are triggered — the end of the month following the calendar quarter in which the failure occurred. Vindexa catches anomalies while cure windows are still open.
- Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship (PWA): IRA requirements that mandate prevailing wages and minimum apprenticeship ratios on clean energy projects to qualify for enhanced (up to 5x) tax credits.
- Real-Time Remediation: Anomaly detection and remediation within active cure windows — not weeks-delayed consultant reports.
- The File: The audit-ready output of the Golden Record — always current, defensible to IRS, DOL, and tax-equity diligence.

## How It Works

1. Ingest — Pull data wherever it lives: payroll providers, LCPtracker, subcontractor uploads, spreadsheets and PDFs that show up over email.
2. Monitor — Continuous prevailing wage and apprenticeship checks across every worker on every project. No spot-checking.
3. Remediate — Anomalies surface while there's still time. Vindexa flags the issue, tracks the correction to closure, and follows up with the right people until it's resolved.
4. Sign — The VP of Tax opens The File. Cross-validated. Defensible. Penalties of perjury stop being a leap of faith.

## Two Engagement Models

- Software only: Real-time monitoring, automated data ingestion + gap detection, remediation workflows, audit-ready File. Best for teams with dedicated compliance staff.
- Software + managed service: Everything in Software, plus a dedicated compliance operator on your account, EPC and subcontractor chase end-to-end, quarterly audit-prep with your tax counsel. Best for developers without dedicated PWA compliance headcount.
