The portals that break your pay, move, benefits, records, healthcare, and sanity.
Official guides tell you what the system is supposed to do. These guides start where people actually get stuck: missing money, rejected packets, dead approval queues, eligibility drops, mystery claim statuses, and support desks that bounce you between offices.
How often people search, rage-post, or ask peers how to fix the system.
Whether official documentation is public enough to cite without relying on CAC-only material.
Whether the failure costs money, health access, orders, school, benefits, or career timelines.
Whether a guide can give proof packets, escalation scripts, and next moves instead of generic advice.

Highest complaint-space targets to build next
DTMS and iSportsman are now live above — both were confirmed worth building against verified complaint signal and public source docs. The stack below is demand-unvalidated: real systems with plausible pain and usable public documentation, but not yet backed by measured search/complaint evidence. Each gets a demand check before it ships. RFMSS (range scheduling) was evaluated and parked — no complaint signal surfaced in research, so it waits for evidence before earning a build.
SGLI / SOES Beneficiary Portal
Wrong ex-spouse beneficiary, FSGLI confusion, VGLI conversion, beneficiary not updated after life event, and death-benefit paperwork.
ATRRS Course Registration
Course seats, quota source, waitlists, reservations, school codes, cancellation, orders, DTS linkage, and unit schools NCO bottlenecks.
JKO / ALMS Mandatory Training
Browser failures, certificates not populating, course completion missing, annual training proof, and record-feed delays.
NSIPS / MyNavy Portal / BOL
Leave, orders, OMPF, evals, advancement profile sheets, RED/DA, and multiple portals that do not agree.
MOL / Marine Online
BIR/BTR, leave, outbound interview, awards, promotion data, MCTIMS handoffs, and admin shop escalation.
myFSS / vMPF / PRDA
