Asim: GovTech referral programs must use agency credits over cash
“So we can't give a government employee, you know, 50 dollars or a hundred dollars to go do a referral on G-II. It just doesn't work. They're not legally allowed to. Technically they can accept less than 50 dollar gifts, but even then it's not looked, ah, kindl…”

US municipal courts average a 23% failure-to-appear rate, Asim says

eCorte facilitated nearly $1M in monthly court payment collections
