IRA safe-harbor deadline tracker for nonprofits

Problem: The July 4, 2025 federal tax law replaced a stable credit regime with a construction-date deadline ladder: projects that began construction before January 1, 2026 must be in service by December 31, 2029; those begun January 1–July 4, 2026 by December 31, 2030; anything begun after July 4, 2026 by December 31, 2027 or the credit is lost. Nonprofit staff are not tax lawyers, and missing a rung costs six or seven figures. Idea: A watsonx Orchestrate compliance agent that ingests a nonprofit's project list, determines each project's begin-construction status under the statutory tests, computes the applicable placed-in-service deadline, and sends escalating alerts as milestones approach — with a plain-language explanation of what "begun construction" means for that project. Value: Tax-exempt organizations stop losing credits to misunderstood deadlines; finance staff get lawyer-grade deadline tracking without the legal bills.
