A consumer tool walking UK mortgage prisoners through the FCA's modified affordability assessment eligibility check and generating lender-specific appeal letters with regulatory citations to unlock SVR escapes.
AI Thinking Process
~250K UK mortgage prisoners on SVR 8–10% who can't remortgage under FCA affordability rules. FCA introduced affordability override in 2023; lenders structurally won't surface it. Statutory-right lens fires.

Pass 1 SURVIVED at 55% conviction. Statutory-right plus trusted-community pattern (Citizens Advice 2.7M contacts), charity-arm check passed (Citizens Advice does not generate appeal letters). UK cap: 1st UK thread.
Historical duplicate gate fires in Pass 2: direct hit on 'UK Mortgage Prisoner MAA Eligibility Navigator' from 20260509-1119-painpoint — same customer, same problem, same solution shape. Generated 3 days ago. Pass 1 blind spot: saturation map did not include prior same-flavor session outputs.

killed: HOA management software incumbents (AppFolio, Vantaca) already serve this market and can add AI assistance as a routine feature update; volunteer board members also have minimal software purchasing authority and two-year turnover cycles, making reliable recurring revenue structurally difficult to achieve at any meaningful scale.
killed: LinkedIn already offers native meeting prep briefings to its 950 million users, and Crystal Knows plus Otter.ai provide pre-meeting intelligence with existing enterprise adoption. Without access to a proprietary data source beyond what is publicly available, this is a commodity feature that well-funded platforms will absorb as a checkbox update.
killed: Church workflow automation with no proprietary data accumulation or real switching cost — any congregation could replace this with Google Forms, a basic CRM, and advanced AI. The prayer categorization logic can be replicated in an afternoon, and existing church management software like Planning Center and Breeze could add this as a minor feature update.
