Carrier Ventures
Alongside the books, a second body of work: a registry of small, single-purpose software tools, each one built to do exactly one thing for exactly one kind of person. A symptom log that finds co-occurrence. A permit tracker for one jurisdiction. A Medicare comparison that names the disqualifying fact instead of the cheapest premium.
They share a design position. No streaks, no gamification, no engagement loop, no advertising, and no analytics. A tool you use less often because it worked is a tool that worked.
This is a build log, not a store. Nothing here is for sale and nothing here has launched. One tool has a working link you can open right now; the rest are code in a repository.
The list below says which is which, and where a finished tool is still missing something, it says what. That seemed more useful than a page of coming soon.
No account, no email address, no download. It runs the real comparison engine on invented plan data, so nothing on that screen describes a real insurer's real product.
Guided Medicare Advantage comparison, white labeled to insurance agencies. Compares on the whole picture, including whether a plan covers the drugs somebody already takes. No enrollment, no commission, no TPMO status.
Open the sample comparison Sample data is invented on purpose. Carriers, plans and coverage are fictional, so a demo can never misdescribe a real product.
Feature complete against their specification and verified running. Not published to any store, and not currently reachable from a browser.
Symptom log for PCOS, endometriosis, fibromyalgia and autoimmune conditions. Finds co-occurrence across entries and prints a summary for the doctor.
Thirty-seven perimenopause symptoms, including the ones nobody connects to it. Produces a script for the GP appointment.
Pet records, plus an answer to "is this an emergency visit or can it wait until Monday", with a cost range attached to each path.
A shared care record that replaces the seven sibling group chat with a typed update feed, so nobody has to scroll to find out what happened.
Forward the school emails and PDFs. Get back one calendar, one supply list and one form tracker.
Shows the structured record a resume parser actually keeps, and, more to the point, everything it threw away.
Quote to signed statement of work to change order, for solo service providers. Makes raising a change order unemotional.
Field service for one person with a van. Under sixty seconds of admin per job, usable with gloves on. Offline first.
Homework help that is Socratic by architecture and structurally cannot output the answer. Parents can read the whole transcript.
One spoken scenario a day, ten minutes. No lessons, no streaks, no gems, no owl.
Recurring low commitment gatherings. One tap to say you are coming, and an honest count of who actually turns up regularly. Explicitly not dating.
Neighbourhood organising and lending, geofenced to a few blocks, address verified without storing an address. Two verbs: organise a thing, lend a thing.
Every parental control across phone, console, tablet and ten apps, for one child's age, configured in one sitting.
The home's service record: systems, ages, warranties, contractors. Built so it hands over cleanly at sale.
Inverts the meal planner. Starts from what is already in the house and what expires first, rather than from a recipe you have to shop for.
Receipts, warranties and policies photographed into structured facts, with an alert before something lapses.
Not an app. A rain synthesis engine that renders eight hour sleep masters. Ships as audio, never to a store.
The software runs. Each one is listed with the specific thing still missing, because in most cases that missing thing is the part a person would actually be relying on.
Senior first medication adherence. Confirm a dose by photographing the pill. Billed to the adult child, not the patient.
Missing: the photo confirmation itself is not wired.
The if something happens file, with staged release to named people on verified death.
Missing: v1 is the vault and the checklist. Staged release is deferred to v1.1 by design.
Co-parenting calendar, expense splits, and a message log that exports in a form a court will accept.
Missing: the calendar interface. The underlying log is built and verified against a live database.
A freelancer tax engine. Income, deductions, quarterly estimates, 1099 reconciliation. Nothing else.
Missing: review by a CPA. It will not be put in front of anybody before that happens.
The one to six unit landlord's ledger, ending in a clean Schedule E.
Missing: review by a CPA, for the same reason.
Homeschool compliance measured against the family's own state rules, assembling the portfolio as the year goes.
Missing: legal review of the per state rule set.
Structured self guided CBT and a fortnightly symptom check, for the months between a referral and a first appointment.
Missing: the licensed instrument text.
Per jurisdiction permit checklists, department by department tracking, and a timeline built from what actually happened rather than what was promised.
Missing: the jurisdiction data. The engine is generic; a jurisdiction has to be researched and loaded one at a time.
A completion engine, not a question bank. Diagnostic first, no streaks, with a caseworker dashboard. Aimed at the roughly forty percent who start testing and never finish.
Missing: the question bank.
Written up in full, scoped, and not started. Listed because the specification is the part that took the thinking.
A GLP-1 companion. Side effects plotted against dose, protein targets, plateau interpretation, and emergency room triage.
Photograph the hospital bill and the explanation of benefits. Get itemised error detection and an appeal letter that cites its own reasoning.
Finds every recurring charge and executes the cancellation. Thirty-nine dollars once, never a subscription, which would rather defeat the point.
Teen wellbeing that the teen agreed to. Consent first, with autonomy earned back on a schedule both people can see.
Researches, drafts and fills the form, then stops at the confirm button. Assistive, not autonomous.
Entirely on device. No account, no sync, and no network permission at all in the default build.
National Electrical Code calculations for electricians, every answer carrying the article number it came from. Refuses to answer when it cannot cite.
A decision and commitment log for project managers outside software, which assembles the weekly stakeholder update out of what was already recorded.
A book performed with a voice per character and a score under the action. Analysed once per title into a script, which the device then plays.
Why this page exists. Thirty-six tools with no users is not a portfolio, it is a claim. This page is the claim written down honestly enough that somebody can check it.
If one of these is the thing you have been looking for, or if you run an agency and Plan Finder is close to something you would use, the fastest way to change any of it is to say so: support@carrierpress.com.
Carrier Ventures is the software work of Jeffrey L. Carrier, who also publishes the books.
