Getting your money back

Source

The idea

Insurance claims, employer reimbursements and consumer refunds require repeated documentation, submissions and follow-up, leaving money unclaimed. Source-proposed direction: Claim preparation and recovery coordination across documents, calls, returns and payment status.

Why this is interesting

  • The failure is often operational rather than financial: a missing document, an unclear status or a missed escalation can prevent a valid claim from being completed.
  • The value is concrete and measurable through money recovered, time saved and fewer abandoned claims.
  • The same coordination problem appears across insurance, reimbursements and consumer refunds, but each workflow has different rules and buyers.

Possible starting points

01

Insurance claim preparation

Check documents, identify missing information, prepare a submission and track its progress.

02

Employee reimbursement assistant

Help employees submit complete claims while giving finance teams a structured review queue.

03

Refund and dispute recovery

Build an evidence timeline and guide consumers through the appropriate escalation path.

Questions to answer

  1. Where do people abandon otherwise valid claims?
  2. Which single claim category has enough value and repetition for a focused first product?
  3. Will customers trust a new service with the documents required to complete the process?
