Bursary application builder for private school parents

A web app that reverse-engineers a private school's internal bursary/remission criteria and builds a maximally persuasive financial picture, turning a vulnerable 'plea' into a data-backed application that matches the exact metrics the school's committee uses.

Who would buy it
Professional UK parents already enrolled in private schools who face a fee rise or job change; reachable through Mumsnet's Private School forum.

You get the checking already done: the evidence behind the idea, the sources it came from, and the objections it survived, all open below so you can judge them yourself.

Every school with charitable status publishes something about means-tested support, because showing public benefit is a condition of that status.

How we tried to kill it

Each check is an attack, not a rubber stamp. An idea dies on the first check where cited evidence goes against it. This one survived all 6. Finding nothing is not the same as finding a green light; see how each check works on /how-it-works.

The 6 below run on every idea, whatever it is.

01
Whether the pain is imagined
02
Whether the value decays
03
Whether the space is already taken
04
Whether anyone will actually pay
05
Whether it can reach a market at all

What’s inside your pack

14 documents · 6 files

The moment you pay, you download the whole pack. 14 documents, no drip feed, no login.

01
Where this starts

The opportunity on one page: what it is, what checked out, and what we do not claim.

02
What you would be selling

The thing that changes hands for money, written as an offer a buyer could accept today.

03
The field: who is already there

The people already selling into this, what they charge, and where they leave the door open.

04
The numbers

Pricing and the numbers behind it. Anything we could not verify is marked missing, never made up.

05
What would sink this

The case against, at full strength, so you meet the objection here rather than from a customer.

06
What you build

What to build, in what order, on what stack. Includes the non-goals for v1 and what would kill this.

07
How the first customers find you

Where your first customers come from. Named channels, the beachhead to start in, and the signals that say stop.

08
How it runs once it works

How it runs once someone pays. Delivery, capacity limits, the compliance you cannot skip, and where the manual work sits.

09
Your first fortnight

Six steps for days one to seven: confirm the buyer, size the smallest paid offer, pick one channel.

10
The toolkit

The named tools, services and suppliers this runs on, with what each one is actually for.

11
Copy you can paste

Launch copy you can send today: listing page, outreach, social. Claim-checked like the research.

12
How to know in 30 days

The one month test: what to run, what number to watch, and the reading that says walk away.

13
Everything we read, once

Each check, what it found, and the source behind it, without hunting through the plans.

14
Every check, in full17 sources

Every check this pack faced, each verdict, and a clickable source behind every claim.
