Exit Protocol
Hello HN, I’m a solo developer who realized that in high-conflict divorce cases, the party with the most organized data wins. Forensic accountants charge $400/hour to trace assets, which makes financial justice inaccessible for many. I built Exit Protocol to automate this. It’s a forensic intelligence tool that ingests PDF bank statements and uses the Lowest Intermediate Balance Rule (LIBR) (See v. See, 1966) to mathematically separate marital funds from separate property. My very first post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46350044 The "Defense-Grade" Features (v2…

What it does
Exit Protocol - Forensic intelligence platform for high-net-worth divorce protection
Explore how Exit Protocol models Lowest Intermediate Balance Rule tracing as deterministic ledger replay using synthetic data, same-day ordering modes, and regression tests.
An engineering note on replaying ordered financial transactions to preserve balance dips, same-day assumptions, and non-replenishment behavior. Each ledger step replays one ordered transaction against running state. The full Exit Protocol product remains private. This public engineering note isolates one narrow technical claim: LIBR-style tracing can be represented as deterministic replay over an ordered ledger. The companion repository uses synthetic CSV fixtures and regression tests so developers, forensic accountants, and diligence reviewers can inspect the calculation model directly. The artifact is for technical feedback — not legal conclusions, expert opinions, or product completeness…from exitprotocols.com

I’m a software architect, and I recently built Exit Protocol (https://exitprotocols.com), an automated forensic accounting engine for high-conflict litigation. Problem: If you get divorced and need to prove that a specific $250k in a heavily commingled joint bank account is your "separate property" (e.g., from a pre-marital startup exit), the burden of proof is strictly mathematical. Historically, this meant paying a forensic CPA $500/hour to dump years of blurry bank PDFs into Excel and manually trace every dollar. It takes weeks and routinely costs over $50,000. I looked at…

Burned about 1 weeks on this. Not sure if it's useful to anyone beyond my original use case, but figure I'd share. Friend went through a nasty divorce. Had $750k going into the marriage (inheritance), put it in a joint account like an idiot. Five years later, account's been up and down, money mixed with paychecks and mortgage payments. Lawyer says "you need a forensic accountant to trace what's still yours." Quote comes back: $5k, 4 weeks minimum. I'm sitting there thinking - this is just transaction categorization and some relatively simple math (the "Lowest Intermediate Balance Rule" if…

Hey everyone. I'm a founder of a Boston based, venture backed startup, unrelated this this link. One of my business partners and I coded this website DURING long and painful meetings with our attorneys as a way to pass the time. We racked up over $100k in legal bills through a couple fundraising and legal hurdles. This is the website that resulted from that time.<p>We'd love your feedback for version 2.0. Thanks!
