Decisions & Evidence

Compare solar quotes when panels, batteries and assumptions differ

The cheapest headline price may include different roof scope, battery capacity, warranties or production assumptions. A useful comparison preserves the original quotes and normalizes only facts that can be traced back to them.

Project: SolarQuote Guard

Decisions & Evidence

Rare book condition report before lending, selling or insuring

Condition terms are easy to dispute after a book changes hands. A dated dossier records the exact copy, binding, pages, marks and existing defects before lending, consignment, storage or insurance review.

Project: Rare Book Condition Dossier

Care & Vacation Handover

Aquarium vacation care: the handover a fish sitter can actually follow

Aquarium instructions fail when feeding, equipment and water warnings live in separate messages. A sitter needs a visual map, small permitted actions and a clear stop-and-call threshold rather than a crash course in fishkeeping.

Project: Aquarium Vacation Binder

Care & Vacation Handover

Pet medication handover: one schedule for owners, sitters and vets

Medication mistakes become more likely when prescriptions, messages and symptom notes are scattered. A calm handover shows what was prescribed, what was actually given and which observations need professional attention.

Project: Pet Medication Command Center

Care & Vacation Handover

Plant-sitter instructions for people who do not know your plants

A list of species names does not tell a sitter what to do in a particular room. A visual plant map, measured watering rule and clear do-not-do list prevents both neglect and enthusiastic overwatering.

Project: Plant Sitter Survival Book

Care & Vacation Handover

Reptile sitter handover: husbandry limits and emergency thresholds

Generic pet-sitting instructions are unsafe for reptiles because temperature, humidity, feeding and handling limits differ sharply. A sitter needs the owner's established parameters and a short emergency path, not permission to improvise husbandry.

Project: Reptile Care Emergency Pack

Home, Technology & Emergencies

Home workshop safety binder: make machine and chemical rules visible

Safety knowledge often lives with the person who bought the machine. A visitor or family member instead needs visible shutdown steps, maintenance status, chemical locations and emergency information at the point of use.

Project: Garage Workshop Safety Binder

Home, Technology & Emergencies

Emergency binder: the information a household needs in ten minutes

An emergency file should reduce decisions under stress, not become a second archive to search. The useful version separates immediate contacts and actions from protected document copies and longer recovery information.

Project: Grab-and-Go Emergency Binder

Home, Technology & Emergencies

Smart-home handover without exposing passwords or lockout risks

A smart home becomes fragile when routines and recovery steps exist only in one owner's apps. A safe handover explains devices and ordinary controls while keeping master credentials, recovery codes and security details out of the everyday guide.

Project: Smart Home Handover Manual

Home, Technology & Emergencies

Tiny-house maintenance log for compact and off-grid systems

In a compact home, one missed filter, seal or winterization task can affect several systems at once. A useful log links each maintenance action to its location, component, interval, parts and observable warning signs.

Project: Tiny House Maintenance Log

Hobbies, Collections & Creative Systems

How to lend board games without losing expansions or pieces

A game can return in the correct box and still be unusable because one deck, miniature or expansion module is missing. A lending record works best when it captures box contents at handover, not weeks later during inventory.

Project: Board Game Lending Library

Hobbies, Collections & Creative Systems

Turn a vinyl collection into a listening exhibit with provenance

Catalog numbers identify records but do not explain why a pressing, gift, concert memory or listening ritual matters. An exhibit pack combines verifiable edition facts with personal notes while keeping the physical collection easy to browse.

Project: Vinyl Collection Exhibit Pack

Hobbies, Collections & Creative Systems

Organize sewing patterns, fabric stash and finished makes together

A filename rarely answers whether a pattern was printed, altered, cut, paired with fabric or successfully made. A practical archive links pattern version, size changes, material and finished result so the next project starts with evidence.

Project: Sewing Pattern Archive

Hobbies, Collections & Creative Systems

A makerspace project passport for versions, materials and lessons

Projects stall when nobody remembers which file, material setting or workaround produced the last successful version. A project passport keeps the build reproducible without turning it into heavy project management.

Project: Makerspace Project Passport

Hobbies, Collections & Creative Systems

Build a tabletop campaign bible that stays usable during play

A giant lore document can be accurate and still be useless at the table. A living campaign bible separates session-ready facts, unknowns, character relationships and chronology so information can be retrieved during play without spoilers.

Project: Tabletop Campaign Bible

Family, Memory & Stories

Identify unlabeled family objects with a searchable attic archive

Mystery items lose context quickly when objects are moved, relatives are unavailable and guesses become repeated as facts. A detective-style archive keeps observations, questions and sources separate.

Project: Attic Archive Detective Kit

Family, Memory & Stories

Preserve family recipes as stories, not only ingredient lists

The measurements alone rarely explain why a recipe matters, who changed it or what 'until it looks right' means. A useful family recipe book combines the reproducible dish with voices, places, photographs and variations.

Project: Family Recipe Exhibit Book

Family, Memory & Stories

Turn children's artwork into a rotating home gallery and archive

Keeping everything in a box preserves volume but loses the story. A small rotating gallery plus a dated catalog lets children choose favourites while adults retain context without displaying or storing every physical piece forever.

Project: Kids Art Gallery Catalog

Family, Memory & Stories

Create a private wedding memory museum from vows, speeches and keepsakes

Wedding photographs capture moments but often lose the words, objects and people connected to them. A private memory museum curates a small narrative from vows, speeches, menus, music, stationery and keepsakes instead of creating another unsorted folder.

Project: Wedding Memory Museum

Business Document Stress & Platform Blocks

VSME supplier questionnaire: answer with evidence and explicit gaps

A buyer questionnaire often mixes policy claims, numbers and future commitments. A credible response distinguishes what the company can evidence now, what needs calculation and what remains a documented gap rather than filling blanks with unsupported claims.

Project: VSME / ESG Supplier Evidence Pack

Business Document Stress & Platform Blocks

Amazon EPR warning: how to map blocked SKUs to missing evidence

An EPR warning becomes expensive when obligations, registration numbers, countries and affected SKUs are mixed in one support thread. The first useful move is not another appeal; it is a traceable map from every blocked offer to the evidence the marketplace expects.

Project: Amazon/EU EPR Marketplace Block Repair Pack

Business Document Stress & Platform Blocks

Amazon SDS or hazmat rejection: build a clean repair dossier

Repeatedly uploading the same safety data sheet rarely fixes a hazmat block. A useful repair dossier connects the product identity, formulation or battery facts, document sections and Amazon's stated rejection reason so the next submission is reviewable.

Project: Amazon SDS / Hazmat Rejection Repair Pack

Business Document Stress & Platform Blocks

Stripe or PayPal payout hold: organize evidence before replying

Sending every available document at once can obscure the provider's actual question. A reviewable response separates identity, fulfillment, customer communication, policies and transaction evidence, then maps each request to a named file.

Project: Stripe/PayPal Payout Hold Evidence Pack

Business Document Stress & Platform Blocks

First TISAX customer request: turn pressure into an evidence plan

A customer deadline can trigger random policy writing. The safer first step is to clarify the requested label, scope and locations, then map existing controls and gaps against the relevant ISA areas.

Project: TISAX Customer Request Starter Pack

Business Document Stress & Platform Blocks

Supplier price increase: calculate margin impact before changing prices

A supplier's average increase hides the products that actually destroy margin. The useful analysis matches old and new item prices, normalizes pack sizes and shows the downstream effect by SKU before a sales-price decision is made.

Project: PriceDelta Supplier Price Impact Pack

10 new research concepts

Automation-first products under consideration.

These are transparent concept briefs, not finished demos. Each one states the proposed workflow, result, price model and boundary.

Research concept · Monitoring & Technical Early Warning · CHF 249 / month

Building Automation EOL Radar

For building-automation integrators, facility managers and service firms with mixed installed fleets.

End-of-life, product-change and support notices are scattered across manufacturer portals and PDFs. A missed notice can leave a maintained building dependent on a part that is no longer available.

Proposed workflow

  1. Upload or connect an asset list without exposing credentials.
  2. Match model numbers against official lifecycle and product-change notices.
  3. Separate confirmed matches from uncertain candidates.
  4. Deliver evidence links, replacement paths and webhook alerts.

Proposed result: Manufacturer notices normalized into asset matches, replacement paths and an auditable alert feed.

Important boundary

The service reports published manufacturer information and matching confidence. It does not certify replacement compatibility or replace an engineer's safety decision.

Research concept · Public Data & Automated Alerts · CHF 399 / month

Recall-to-Catalog Matcher

For retailers, marketplaces and product-data teams responsible for active catalogs.

Recall notices and merchant product feeds rarely share clean identifiers. Teams need a reproducible way to find likely overlaps without pretending that fuzzy matching is a legal determination.

Proposed workflow

  1. Connect a product feed or upload a current catalog export.
  2. Normalize identifiers, brands and model names against official recall feeds.
  3. Rank probable matches with visible confidence and source evidence.
  4. Send confirmed review items to a queue, email digest or webhook.

Proposed result: Catalog comparison with probable matches, official evidence links, a review queue and webhook alerts.

Important boundary

Probable matches require merchant review. The service does not decide whether a product must be withdrawn and does not replace regulatory or legal advice.

Research concept · Monitoring & Technical Early Warning · CHF 179 / month

Vendor Terms Evidence Feed

For small security, privacy and procurement teams monitoring external software vendors.

Important vendor pages change silently and generic page monitors often produce noisy layout diffs. Reviewers need the material clause or subprocessor change, its evidence and its first observed date.

Proposed workflow

  1. Register public terms, privacy, DPA and subprocessor pages.
  2. Capture timestamped versions and detect content-level changes.
  3. Classify meaningful additions, removals and renamed subprocessors.
  4. Deliver concise evidence packs by email, webhook or API.

Proposed result: Timestamped page snapshots, meaningful diffs, evidence links and a searchable change history.

Important boundary

The feed preserves public evidence and highlights text changes. It does not interpret contractual impact or provide legal advice.

Research concept · Monitoring & Technical Early Warning · CHF 199 / month

MCP & API Contract Drift Canary

For teams operating AI agents, MCP tools, webhooks or third-party API integrations.

A tool can stay online while its schema, payload or behavior changes enough to break downstream automation. Uptime checks alone do not prove that a real workflow still works.

Proposed workflow

  1. Record a safe representative request and expected response contract.
  2. Replay the contract on a controlled schedule.
  3. Compare schemas, required fields and selected behavior assertions.
  4. Alert with a redacted diff and reproducible failure evidence.

Proposed result: Scheduled contract replays, structured diffs, severity rules and incident-ready evidence.

Important boundary

Replays must use non-sensitive test data and respect provider terms and rate limits. The canary cannot prove every production path is correct.

Research concept · Monitoring & Technical Early Warning · CHF 199 / month

Marketplace Policy Impact API

For multichannel commerce software, accountants and operators managing marketplace economics.

Marketplace fees, fulfillment rules and advertising policies vary by region and change over time. A generic announcement does not show which connected SKUs or workflows are affected.

Proposed workflow

  1. Track official marketplace fee and policy sources by region.
  2. Version normalized rules with source and effective date.
  3. Apply relevant changes to connected product or transaction data.
  4. Expose impacts through API responses, webhooks and review reports.

Proposed result: Versioned rules, affected-marketplace alerts and SKU-level impact calculations for connected systems.

Important boundary

Impact calculations depend on the supplied catalog and rule interpretation. Final pricing, tax and compliance decisions remain with the operator.

Research concept · Public Data & Automated Alerts · CHF 299 / month

Tender & Award Niche Feed

For specialist suppliers serving one trade, region or procurement classification.

Official procurement portals are comprehensive but broad. A specialist supplier needs relevant notices, previous awards and likely repeat cycles without a daily manual search.

Proposed workflow

  1. Define one trade, region and procurement-code scope.
  2. Collect official notices and normalize buyers, deadlines and amounts.
  3. Link awards to earlier tenders and recurring buyer patterns.
  4. Deliver qualified alerts and CRM-ready records with source links.

Proposed result: Filtered opportunities, award timelines, winner history and export-ready account signals.

Important boundary

The feed does not guarantee completeness, eligibility or award probability. Users must verify every notice on the official procurement source.

Research concept · Public Data & Automated Alerts · CHF 149 / month

Building Permit Lead Radar

For specialist contractors and suppliers working in one canton or tightly defined region.

Public permit notices can reveal upcoming work, but addresses, descriptions and publication formats vary. The useful product is a narrow, explainable match rather than another national database.

Proposed workflow

  1. Select one trade and a limited geographic coverage area.
  2. Collect legally accessible public permit notices.
  3. Classify likely project relevance with evidence and confidence.
  4. Deliver source-linked leads and suppress duplicates or stale notices.

Proposed result: Trade-matched permit alerts, project evidence and a prioritized lead feed.

Important boundary

A permit notice is not permission to contact individuals or proof that work is available. Outreach must follow applicable privacy and marketing rules.

Research concept · Public Data & Automated Alerts · CHF 149 / month

Swiss Company Event Webhooks

For Swiss business software and operations teams that need a narrowly defined company trigger.

Company-register publications are public but difficult to consume as stable events. The concept focuses on one non-personal trigger such as a new branch or registered-office move.

Proposed workflow

  1. Choose one event class with a documented business purpose.
  2. Collect official publications and normalize company identifiers.
  3. Deduplicate revisions and attach source provenance.
  4. Deliver signed webhook payloads with retry and replay support.

Proposed result: Deduplicated company events with official source references and CRM-ready payloads.

Important boundary

The service avoids contact-data enrichment and does not authorize unsolicited outreach. Customers remain responsible for lawful purpose, retention and downstream use.

Research concept · Public Data & Automated Alerts · CHF 299 / month

Municipal Waste Calendar API

For property-management, smart-home and municipal software providers.

Collection calendars are published in many local formats and holiday changes create support work. Connected products need normalized dates with provenance and predictable updates.

Proposed workflow

  1. Map supported municipalities and official calendar sources.
  2. Normalize collection types, addresses and exceptional dates.
  3. Continuously detect schedule changes and source failures.
  4. Serve versioned API responses with freshness and provenance fields.

Proposed result: Address-level collection schedules, material categories, change alerts and a stable API.

Important boundary

Coverage is explicitly limited to supported municipalities. Official local instructions remain authoritative when source data is missing or ambiguous.

Research concept · Public Data & Automated Alerts · CHF 39 / year

Warranty & Recall Vault

For households that want a simple record for important purchases.

Receipts disappear before a warranty claim and product owners rarely revisit recall databases. A useful vault must minimize sensitive storage and make uncertain matches obvious.

Proposed workflow

  1. Record a purchase with only the fields needed for reminders.
  2. Store or reference evidence with clear privacy controls.
  3. Match product identifiers against official recall notices.
  4. Send expiry and probable-recall alerts with source links.

Proposed result: Private receipt records, warranty reminders and source-linked recall checks for owned products.

Important boundary

OCR and recall matching can be wrong. The vault is not proof of coverage, does not decide claim eligibility and must never replace an official safety notice.
