About this appAI proposal
Clausewatch watches a section you choose on a regulatory or legal web page, not the whole page. Pick a paragraph, table or list, and you are alerted only when the text inside it changes, with old and new wording side by side.
It is made for legal advisors, compliance officers and consultants who follow legislation in places such as Germany, where updates are frequent and material to their work.
Users describe existing page monitors as expensive, clunky and unreliable at catching changes to specific parts of a page. Clausewatch aims at precision in a targeted area, with simple pricing based on the number of watches.

- Why this name
- A clause is the unit lawyers care about, and watch says what the product does. The two plain words are easy to say and spell.
In the first version
Members say which features they would use. It tells PWAS what people want; it changes no score.
Pick the exact section
Select a paragraph, table or list on the page. Only that element is watched; menus, banners and footers are ignored.

Lost-section warning
If a page layout changes and your section cannot be found, you are told instead of getting silence.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Shared outputs. Users send change notes as read-only links to clients and colleagues, showing old and new wording with the product's name on the page.
- Do they become customers?
- Recipients are often other advisors who could start their own watches, but a client opening a link once may not. Test how many recipients sign up from the link.
- First customers
- Solo and small-firm German-law advisors and compliance consultants who already track specific statutes or regulator pages.
- Where to reach them
- Hacker News: Reply with a demo where the original complaints were posted and offer free early access.
- Professional forums and groups: Share a free example watch for a well-known statute in compliance and legal-tech communities.
- LinkedIn: Post real change examples from public law pages and invite advisors to a pilot.
- First milestone
- Ten advisors in one jurisdiction each run five watches for a month, and at least three pay.
Why people already pay for this
- Public claimPage monitoring tools are expensive, clunky and not all that reliable for catching changes to specific parts of pages
- Public claimUsers pay for page monitoring tools to watch for changes in German laws and other regulatory changes that affect their work
- Public claimUsers perceive existing page monitoring tools as overpriced

RisksAI inference
- TechnicalPages change layout, so selectors break. Section matching must be robust and must warn the user clearly when a section is lost.
- CommercialEvidence is public claims only. Users may accept a cheaper tool or keep a current one, so willingness to switch must be tested.
- PlatformSome sites block automated fetching or limit request rates, which can stop checks on key government pages.
- RegulatoryCopying and storing legal page text may raise terms-of-use or copyright questions for some sources. Check before storing history.
- DataReliability is the main promise. Missed or false alerts would damage trust fast in a compliance setting.
