### Example Data for This Case

```python
case_data = {
    # Plaintiff
    "plaintiff_name": "Joyce He",
    "plaintiff_street": "655 S Fair Oaks Ave",
    "plaintiff_city": "Sunnyvale",
    "plaintiff_state": "CA",
    "plaintiff_zip": "94086",
    "plaintiff_phone": "4125886066",
    "plaintiff_email": "he1998@gmail.com",

    # Defendant

    "defendant_street": "299 W Washington Ave",
    "defendant_city": "Sunnyvale",
    "defendant_state": "CA",
    "defendant_zip": "94086",
    "defendant_phone": "5125658878",

    "how_asked": "Asked defendant to return the money multiple times via text but defendant is not responding.",
    "amount_basis": "The amount is listed on the signed roommate sublease contract.",
    "filing_date": "2026-01-19",
    "num_prior_claims": 0,  # first time suing
    "is_individual": True,
}
```

### Phone Number Formatting
Phone numbers may need formatting depending on the form:
- Raw: `4125886066`
- Formatted: `(412) 588-6066` or `412-588-6066`
- Check form field expectations; if single field, may use either format

### Address Parsing
Break addresses into components:
- `655 S Fair Oaks Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94086`
  - Street: `655 S Fair Oaks Ave`
  - City: `Sunnyvale`
  - State: `CA`
  - ZIP: `94086`

### Venue Selection (Item 3)
The case says "filing where defendant lives" → Check the radio button or checkbox for "Where the defendant lives" or equivalent wording on the SC-100 form.

### Number of Claims (Item 7 equivalent)
"First time suing by small claims" → The count of prior SC claims in last 12 months = 0, and check any "first time" indicator.
