Problem

Middle-aged holders of ISAs, pension savings accounts, and ELS products only remember the terms at the time of enrollment, failing to notice when tax law changes, interest rate shifts, or changes in their own income bracket make the product no longer advantageous. For example, the 2025 financial investment income tax deferral altered ISA tax-free benefits, but most existing holders are unaware and keep their accounts. Missing the optimal exit or transfer window costs them tens of thousands of dollars in opportunity costs.

Solution

1) Register held financial products with original enrollment terms (tax rate, interest rate, early termination penalty schedule) 2) Input tax law changes, benchmark rate movements, and personal income changes to compare net returns across hold/exit/transfer scenarios 3) Alert when early termination penalty reaches the break-even point relative to principal

Target: People aged 45–60 holding 2+ financial products who want to self-manage but lack time to track tax law and financial regulation changes
Revenue Model: Free for up to 3 products, $4.40/mo Subscription thereafter, per-session referral fee for 1:1 tax accountant or financial planner consultations
