HomeBill Rescue — Residential Utility Overcharge Audit & Refund Sprint

  1. OPPORTUNITY NAME AND PROMISE
    HomeBill Rescue — Rapid residential utility-bill forensic audit, claim filing, and certified refund recovery + 12‑month automated monitoring. Promise: recover hidden overcharges or misapplied rates (or you pay nothing), stop future surprises, and give a notarized “refund-ready” evidence pack families can use with utilities or regulators.

  2. EXACT BUYER AND URGENT PROBLEM
    Buyer: homeowners and renters in single-family homes or small multi‑unit landlords (families, seniors) who face unexpectedly high bills, unexplained spikes, or suspect meter/rate errors. Urgency: recurring monthly expense, emotional stress, and real cash loss (refunds often run from hundreds to thousands). Regulatory windows and statutes of limitations often limit recoverable periods; acting fast increases recoverable amount. (Researched fact: utilities and regulators regularly discover and issue refunds to consumers after audits.) (abc.net.au)

  3. CUSTOMER TRANSFORMATION
    From anxious and overpaying (uncertain who to trust) to: documented proof of error, refund or billing credit in hand (or a filed, escalated claim), and automated bill monitoring that prevents future unnoticed overbilling.

  4. DELIVERABLES AND REMOTE FEASIBILITY

  • Deliverables: LOA template to pull historical bills, hashed notarized evidence pack (bill timeline + anomaly report), a formal dispute/appeal packet and escalation letters, phone/email capture templates for utility reps, and 12‑month bill-watch automation (alerts if usage/charge deviates beyond thresholds).
  • Remote feasibility: fully remote. Clients upload PDFs/photos of bills; automation scripts + spreadsheet models detect anomalies; submissions to utilities/PUCs done by email/phone. Small optional in-person tasks (notary, mail) if needed. Low startup tooling required.

  1. PRICING AND UNIT ECONOMICS
    Offer A (premium sprint): CAD 1,950 flat — includes 12 months monitoring; suitable when expected recoverable > $2,500.
    Offer B (contingency hybrid): CAD 350 retainer + 25% of refunded amount (min fee CAD 750). If no refund obtained, client keeps LOA & anomaly report and pays only retainer. Variable expenses per case: $0–$50 (notary/postage). Fulfillment time: initial audit 3–6 hours; dispute management 3–12 hours over 2–30 days. Sales time: 1–2 hours consult. Assumption: average realized fee CAD 1,200–2,000 per successful case. If you can complete two full analyses/day initially, contribution toward $1,000/day is plausible when sales convert; otherwise $1,000/day is optimistic short-term.
