HoursBack, the API that reads an NHS rota and tells the worker what their trust hasn't paid

For NHS doctors, senior nurses and other staff who often work more than their contracted hours, and for the employment lawyers and union reps who support them.

The expensive part of a business idea is not having it. It is the time you spend finding out it does not work. This pack is that work, already done, with its sources left open.

  • 14-day money back, no questions asked
  • Survived all 6 checks
  • Instant download the moment you pay

The pack’s own model puts month one at 13× what the pack costs, and payback at 3 months. Every input behind that is sourced, and the workings are the fourth document.

The numbers are in the pack. Pricing mechanics and unit economics, every input sourced, and anything the research could not stand up is marked so.

Secure checkout via Stripe. A pack is evidence-backed research, not a promise of business success. See our refund policy.

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.

  • 1Whether the pain is imagined
  • 2Whether the value decays
  • 3Whether incumbents already own the space
  • 4Whether anyone will actually pay
  • 5Whether it can reach a market at all
  • 6Whether there is a legal landmine
