Household Expense Audit & Renegotiation Service

A white-glove service that audits a family's recurring bills (insurance, utilities, internet, phone, subscriptions) and renegotiates or switches them to lower-cost alternatives on their behalf, capturing 30-40% of first-year savings as the fee. The service handles all phone calls, paperwork, and account transfers—families just sign authorization forms and receive a monthly savings report.

SERVICE

50 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Families get $2,000–$4,500/year in recurring savings without effort or upfront cost (fee is contingent on actual renegotiation success). Existing services (Truebill, Trim) are app-based and passive; this is active, hands-on, and guaranteed to move money. No eligibility gatekeeping like government programs.

Target Audience

Dual-income working families earning $45k–$85k/year in swing districts (suburbs of competitive metros: PA-7, MI-10, WI-3, AZ-5, NV-3, GA-6)

Key Features

  • Audit of top 8–12 recurring expenses (auto/home/life insurance, utilities, broadband, phone, streaming, gym, childcare backup options)
  • Negotiation with current providers OR switching to verified lower-cost alternatives (e.g., Geico vs. current insurer, municipal broadband vs. Comcast)
  • White-glove handling: service calls providers, transfers accounts, confirms billing changes
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

CRM (Pipedrive or HubSpot) for intake, audit, and renegotiation tracking Google Sheets or Airtable for rate database and savings calculations (no custom software needed initially) Zapier or Make for workflow automation (form submission → audit assignment → reporting) Call recording software (Talkdesk or Aircall) for compliance and QA

Original Problem

Families in swing districts cannot afford basic living expenses despite working full-time

Working families in politically competitive regions face skyrocketing costs for housing, food, healthcare, and childcare that consume most or all of their income, leaving them unable to save or handle emergencies. Current solutions like government assistance programs have eligibility gaps, lengthy application processes, and insufficient benefit amounts. These families are desperate for immediate relief but lack accessible tools to reduce expenses or increase income quickly.
