## Buyer
Sole proprietors and small service businesses

## Observation
Categorizes imported bank transactions and produces business reports. Show HN launch: 2026-10-20; paid web plans published.

## Revenue
Not verified (unknown). Verify the dated source; pricing is not revenue.

## Opportunity hypothesis
Hypothesis: statement cleanup and accountant handoff for Indian solo exporters, with personal/business review. Local demand untested.


## Alternatives
Zoho Books India: https://www.zoho.com/in/books/ — already offers banking, reconciliation and multi-currency accounting.

## MVP
Scope one buyer and workflow after interviewing buyers.

## Non-goals
Avoid a broad platform before validating the workflow.

## First five buyers
Independent accountants and solo export-service founders

## 48-hour test
Interview 5 founders and 2 accountants; review 100 consented, redacted transactions. Compare with Zoho Books; seek 2 paid pilots for a specific unresolved handoff.

## Continue if
A buyer commits to a concrete follow-up under an agreed success condition.

## Pause if
Existing alternatives solve the job or the buyer will not commit.

## Build instructions
Run the test before specifying software.
