Turn a delayed or cancelled train trip into a strict JSON compensation claim: trip fact check, rights checklist marked to confirm for your region, eligibility assessment, evidence log and plan, claim-amount worksheet, deadline timeline, ready-to-send letters, escalation path, and next steps. EU/UK/US-aware practical help, not legal advice.

Splits shared costs for a group trip, house share, or event: equal, subset, weighted, or exact splits, mixed currencies with stated rates, and repayments already made, all in integer cents so totals match. Produces per-person balances and a short "who pays whom" list (at most one transfer fewer than people). Use when friends ask "who owes what?" after a trip or a shared house month. Includes a stdlib Python splitter with --self-test.
Compares commute options - car (fuel or EV), transit, bike, e-bike, walking, day-share mixes and park-and-ride legs - per month and year with cash cost, door-to-door time, time cost at your own hourly value, cost per trip and CO2. Picks pass vs pay-per-ride for the days you ride, separates car running costs from fixed costs, and shows the break-even value of an hour. Includes a stdlib Python calculator with --self-test.
Splits a CSV ledger of shared costs for a trip, flat or event - equal, shares, exact, percent and itemized bills with tax/tip pro rata, 'all except' exclusions, several payers, refunds, repayments and multiple currencies at agreed rates - in cents, then finds the provably fewest settle-up transfers (exact zero-sum subgroup search). Returns balances, a per-person audit and a chat message. Includes a stdlib Python planner with --self-test.
Builds a day-by-day jet lag plan from flight times and your usual sleep hours. Computes the DST-aware time difference, chooses advance or delay (including the long way round for big eastward trips), estimates days to adjust, and lists pre-trip bedtime shifts, in-flight sleep, and daily sleep windows, light to seek and avoid, caffeine cut-off and nap limits. Flags short trips. Includes a stdlib Python planner with --self-test.
Helps you pull free credit reports, spot errors and outdated collections, draft dispute letters to the major bureaus, and track every reply deadline—nothing is sent without your OK.
Helps renters get their full deposit back: documents the home at move-in and move-out, tracks the return deadline and drafts a calm, evidence-based reply to unfair deductions.
Builds a complete insurance claim file for home, auto, travel or health: what to photograph, which documents to attach, how to timeline the loss, and a clean packet ready to submit.
Searches official unclaimed-property and settlement sources for money that may be yours—old refunds, forgotten balances, class actions—and walks you through honest claims you approve one at a time.
