One-Liner
A scenario simulator modeling five post-quit financial outcomes — cold turkey, unemployment eligibility, COBRA vs ACA comparison, RSU forfeiture, severance negotiation — with state-specific accuracy for burned-out professionals considering leaving their job.
AI Thinking Process
34-year-old burned-out engineer considering quitting: Google Sheets budget misses COBRA ($650/month), RSU vesting forfeiture ($45K), state-specific unemployment eligibility, 401k early withdrawal penalties, ACA marketplace subsidies. Runway estimate off by 30-50%
WHO: burned-out professional ($60K-250K salary) seriously considering quitting. CURRENT: Google Sheets budget missing 30-50% of real costs, 3 weekends of anxious calculation. WHY-SURPRISED: 50M Americans quit in 2022, burnout is mainstream, yet no dedicated scenario simulator for 'I'm thinking about quitting'
50% conviction — at the painpoint minimum threshold. Transaction pricing ($29-49) circumvents frequency trap. Data complexity (50-state unemployment rules, COBRA, vesting) creates moat. Biggest worry: revenue ceiling and SEO distribution
WorkFree.me found: dedicated 'Quit My Job Calculator' with ML, budget planner, emergency fund calculator, runway calculator, transition checklist, resignation letter generator. Also: Sourcetable, TheCareerTribe, WhenCanIQuitMyJob.com, Four Pillar Freedom — total 5+ competitors. 'Empty space' from Pass 1 was wrong. G002 confirmed
42% conviction (↓8 from 50%): (1) WorkFree.me + 5 competitors cover 60-70% of proposed functionality — 'nobody does this' claim overturned by deeper search, (2) revenue ceiling confirmed at $19K-390K/year at realistic conversion rates — side project not a startup, (3) long-term SEO requires competing with NerdWallet and TurboTax's domain authority. Sophisticated modeling gap (RSU, state-specific unemployment) remains but insufficient business foundation
Kill Reason
Killed in deepening: competitor discovery destroyed the 'nobody does this' claim (WorkFree.me and 5+ other calculators already serve the 'can I afford to quit' question), revenue ceiling confirmed at $390K maximum annual revenue at realistic conversion rates ($29-49 transaction pricing, 50K-100K users × 1% conversion), and long-term SEO distribution challenge requires competing with NerdWallet and TurboTax for financial keywords.
