HomeBuffer
Treat home maintenance like a bill — automatically funded, calmly protected.
A homeowner builds a home profile and instantly sees a personalized monthly reserve target, auto-sweeps money into an insured maintenance fund that grows over time, and — when something breaks — taps once to dispatch a vetted, fair-priced contractor paid straight from the reserve.
What makes people lean in
The 'System Health' dashboard that reveals the exact remaining life of every home system (water heater, HVAC, roof) and a funded reserve gauge — turning vague repair anxiety into a single, calm, fully-funded number.
The case for building it
The core pain isn't knowing you should save — it's the gap between intention and a funded buffer when a water heater dies at the worst time. These screens prove the loop that no calculator or home warranty offers: estimate the true reserve target, actually hold the money in an insured fund, and spend it for you on a fair-priced repair. Showing the health dashboard plus one-tap dispatch in a polished prototype is enough to convey both the emotional relief and the defensible fintech-plus-services bundle.
