Bottlenecking the welfare clients

Frictions or Mental Gaps: What's Behind the Information We (Don't) Use and When Do We Care?

So we have this mother of two on the bus for two hours for a meeting with her county worker and a two hour bus ride back.  Having no credit, little transportation, she feeds off the local shopkeeper who then maintains any credit she needs. She is stuck in he black market.

The welfare worker is actually completely oblivious to the burden placed on the economy by county inefficiency, poor people and welfare worker  running the revolving door.

Sandbox fixes this. The client makes one trip to the county worker and gets pre-qualified for the welfare budget. The client touches the yellow icon on the screen, from then on they just watch the red/green light on their smart card when shopping. The welfare contract keeps the gal as stable as her welfare allowance will allow. No further trips to the welfare worker needed until a change in status.

Welfare clients, thus being stuck with the optimum budget then begin working supply problems. They organize in groups, with the help of NGOs and acquire in bulk by contract. They learn a bit about  apartment maintenance and paying electric bills. They got the welfare apps blinking the green and yellow, they get a bit of credit to smoothe inventory flow and they can coordinate anonymously.

Retailers like Walmart will respond positively to the welfare budget and welfare apps, it is an accurate contracted obligation. Retailers can keep inventory more stable, lower costs to distribution for the poor.
