Household Expense Audit & Negotiation Service

A white-glove service where trained negotiators audit a household's monthly bills (utilities, insurance, internet, phone, subscriptions) and directly renegotiate rates with providers on the family's behalf, capturing savings through a revenue-share model. Families get a one-time deep audit plus quarterly re-negotiation check-ins; the service keeps 25-35% of year-one savings achieved.

SERVICE

24 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Existing solutions (government assistance, budgeting apps) don't actively reduce bills—they just track them. This service eliminates the friction and knowledge gap that prevents families from negotiating; providers actively hide rate reductions unless pushed. Average household saves $80-150/month with zero upfront cost (contingent on results).

Target Audience

Middle-income households ($40k-$90k annual income) in high cost-of-living areas with $150+ monthly discretionary spending on utilities, insurance, and telecom services

Key Features

  • Audit of all recurring bills (utilities, insurance, internet, phone, subscriptions, streaming)
  • Direct negotiation with providers using leverage (switching threats, competitive quotes)
  • Quarterly re-audit to capture new promotions and rate changes
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Simple CRM (Airtable or Pipedrive) to track households, bills, negotiations, and savings Stripe or similar for contingent revenue-share invoicing Google Workspace for document management and templates Call recording tool (Talkdesk or similar) for QA and compliance

Original Problem

Middle-income households struggle with rising cost of living and cannot afford basic necessities

Families in swing districts are facing acute financial strain as housing, food, healthcare, and utilities costs outpace wage growth, forcing difficult trade-offs between essential expenses. Current solutions like government assistance programs have eligibility gaps, lengthy application processes, and insufficient benefit levels that don't match actual cost increases. People are desperate for immediate relief and practical ways to reduce their monthly expenses.
