Modern financial management faces critical challenges in developing economies:
- Reactive Tools: Traditional apps track history but fail to predict future risks.
- Emergency Gaps: 60% of individuals lack adequate emergency reserves (3-6 months).
- Behavioral Inconsistency: Savings are often neglected due to a lack of disciplined enforcement.
- Complexity: Financial literacy barriers make it difficult for users to interpret raw data.
The Gap: Users cannot answer the critical question: "If I lose my income today, how many days can I survive?"
CAPSTACK bridges this gap by providing an intelligent financial ecosystem:
- Predictive Analytics: Calculates a "Survival Days" metric based on liquid assets and burn rate.
- Smart Savings: Automated "Lock Mechanisms" that prevent impulsive withdrawals until goals are met.
- AI Health Score: A singular 0-100 metric representing holistic financial wellness.
- Behavioral Nudging: Real-time alerts and recommendations to correct negative spending trends.
The application is fully deployed and production-ready on the Render Cloud Platform.
