Family Financial Triage Hub
A caregiver-focused web app that centralizes a dependent adult’s recurring obligations (utilities, property tax, mortgage, insurance), surfaces risk signals (missed payments, shutoff notices), and runs a structured triage workflow for stabilizing crises. It provides shared, permissioned access for trusted family members plus an audit trail so support doesn’t become open-ended or opaque.
Target customer
Adult children (ages ~30-55) who are financially stable (often FIRE/coast-FIRE/high earners) and are taking responsibility for a parent’s bills and household financial stability; buyer is the adult child acting as the financial backstop.
Problem-solution fit
When a parent’s situation is hidden, the caregiver wastes days on phone calls, mailbox forensics, and repeated emergencies (e.g., shutoffs, missed taxes). This product reduces ongoing cognitive load by turning scattered accounts and paper mail into a monitored checklist with alerts, shared visibility, and repeatable crisis playbooks—helping the caregiver set boundaries and prevent surprises.
