PROBLEM ANALYSIS:
[PASTE PREVIOUS ANALYSIS]

Create the PRD with these sections:
1. Product name
2. One-line product description
3. Problem statement (Social context)
4. Target users (Beneficiaries, NGOs, Government, Volunteers)
5. User pain points
6. Proposed solution
7. Product goals (Social impact goals)
8. User stories
9. Functional requirements (Include accessibility and low-bandwidth requirements)
10. Non-functional requirements (Inclusion, Privacy, Accessibility, Offline capability)
11. Core features
12. Nice-to-have features
13. User journeys (How a beneficiary accesses and benefits)
14. MVP scope (Which feature must work during the demo?)
15. Out-of-scope features
16. Impact metrics (Lives improved, Access gained, Cost saved, Time saved)
17. Risks and assumptions (Include ethical risks, Digital Divide, Adoption barriers)

Keep the MVP realistic for a 24-48 hour hackathon.
Do not add unnecessary features just to make the project sound impressive.
Prioritize features that can actually be demonstrated live and create real impact.
