The story

Based on the available evidence, Income appears to be an income verification product — specifically referenced in relation to Plaid's income verification suite ('Plaid for Payroll'). The company or product focuses on income and employment data verification, likely serving lenders, landlords, and other platforms that need to verify applicant income. The evidence is too thin to construct a full pivot narrative.
