different filings need different lead times. annual reports want 60 days (you might owe paperwork from a cpa). license renewals want 14. set per-doc reminder windows so the nudges aren't tone-deaf.
any doc with an expiry date.
default is 30. raise it for slow filings, lower for fast ones. nudges fire at the window-out mark and again at 7 days out.
the new window applies to the next nudge cycle.
if you're paying a cpa or attorney to prep the filing, set the reminder window to whatever lead time they need + 5 days. "fire 35 days out" gives them a fair chance.

oyster is the deadline tracker for paperwork that costs you money when missed — franchise tax, registered agent renewal, boi/cta, annual reports, license expiries. drop a doc in, set its expiry, get nudged.
the whole point of oyster is that nothing falls through the cracks. each doc with an expiry shows a color-coded badge and oyster fires nudges to your notification bell as the date gets close.
when a deadline hits, oyster gives you the state portal link, a pre-filled prep sheet, and a way to upload the confirmation so the cycle resets cleanly.
