Cloud Credit Dispute Assistant

Helps small teams document cloud credit disputes and quantify losses

Problem

A team lost AWS credits they had planned around, and their three production apps were down for 13 days. Communication is scattered across emails and tickets, making it impossible to quickly build a claim or migration justification. Small teams have no legal support or bargaining records.

Solution

A lightweight desktop or web tool that ingests cloud vendor emails, ticket screenshots, and billing records, automatically extracts commitments and timelines, and produces a timestamped PDF incident report with estimated downtime cost. Exportable as a summary for the platform or a lawyer.

Users

Startups and independent developers dependent on a single cloud provider with no dedicated legal counsel.

MVP

Forward emails to a dedicated address or paste manually; auto-parse dates and amounts; timeline view; export PDF summary; simple downtime cost calculator; no direct cloud API integration to avoid compliance risk.

Revenue

Pay-per-report or team subscription; affiliate promotion in cloud migration services.

Why now

Cloud vendors frequently change credit policies, leaving small teams without leverage or record-keeping tools; legal tech is too expensive, and lightweight evidence organization is a gap indie developers can fill fast.
