This is cool. Do you have a version that's a browser extension, so as I browse any product on any site, it does the same? Also in cases where it's not a Tick, maybe find similar products that may fit the bill more?
Salesmanship. I learned this very early in my career in my first job. I am the a super introvert and this is not a career I'd want to build, but it is a great skill to have learned.

I am building tools to make informed financial decisions. This payoff calculator helps you figure out whether it makes more sense to pay down mortgage, student loans, credit card or other types of debt versus investing in stocks, 401K or real estate. It analyzes your specific financial situation and helps you compare these scenarios with real numbers rather than guesswork.
