Problem

Life insurance, travel insurance, indemnity insurance, and auto insurance held by 50-60 year olds mostly include 'war, civil war, terrorism exclusion clauses,' but the policy language is so complex that it's impossible to know exactly when coverage applies and when it doesn't. In situations like a war breaking out during a Middle East trip or a domestic terror incident, checking whether my insurance works requires waiting 30+ minutes on the insurer's call center, and even the agent often can't give a clear answer.

Solution

On the web, users select their insurance types (life/indemnity/travel/auto) and the tool interprets war, terrorism, and disaster exclusion clauses in plain language, providing scenario cards like 'covered in this situation / not covered.' Uploading an insurance policy PDF enables custom analysis based on the actual policy wording.

Target: 50-60 year olds holding 2+ insurance policies, traveling abroad at least once a year, and finding policy documents difficult to read—both salaried workers and self-employed individuals
Revenue Model: General interpretation free. Custom analysis based on individual policy documents per transaction $3.75. Annual insurance portfolio review $21.75.
