Find the subscription leaks in your household
Recharges, OTT plans, app subscriptions, auto-renewing memberships — every household leaks money monthly without noticing. Audit your family’s full recurring-spend stack, put AI on the cost-per-use maths — then verify it — and actually fix one leak.

The work brief
- 01Inventory everything recurring (with family help): mobile recharges, OTT, YouTube/Spotify, cloud storage, gym, tuition apps, newspaper. Check payment histories for forgotten auto-renewals.
- 02Build the table: service, who uses it, monthly cost, yearly cost, actual usage (be honest — check screen time / last-watched).
- 03Analyse with AI: paste the anonymised table and ask for the yearly total, the worst cost-per-use, and overlaps (3 OTTs, one watcher?) — then recheck its maths before anyone cancels anything.
- 04Fix one real leak: cancel, downgrade, switch to a shared/annual plan. Screenshot the change and compute the yearly saving.
What you’ll produce
Submission standard
Submit the full audit as CSV, the analysis, and evidence of the leak you actually fixed. Include your AI workflow: your analysis prompts and the numbers you had to correct. Your fix screenshot must show your own account/app interface with a date, and the yearly saving must match the cost of that service in your CSV.
The full audit as CSV: service, user, monthly, yearly, real usage
Paste comma-separated data with one header row and one record per line. Use consistent column names and remove private information.
CSV dataRequiredThe analysis: yearly total, worst cost-per-use, overlaps found
Written responseRequiredScreenshot of the leak you actually fixed (cancellation/downgrade confirmation)
The cancellation/downgrade confirmation must show your own account/app interface, the service name, and a date (redact personal data). The service must appear in your CSV.
Image uploadRequiredThe fix explained: what you changed, the yearly saving, and how the family reacted

You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.
How your work is evaluated
The passing benchmark is 70/100.
Complete audit
29%The inventory is genuinely complete, with honest usage data.
Really fixed
29%A real change was made, evidenced by the confirmation.
Analysis sharpness
14%Cost-per-use and overlap findings are computed, not guessed.
Real fix, own account
29%The fix screenshot shows the student's own account/app UI with a date, the cancelled/downgraded service appears in the CSV, and the claimed yearly saving matches that row. A generic screenshot or a 'saving' not derivable from the audit = fail.
How we grade your AI usage
Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
