MIN–MAX Living product example

Go from a listing shortlist to a decision you can explain.

Use listing sites for discovery, photos and maps. This fictional example begins with two finalists and demonstrates what MIN–MAX Living adds: normalized cost, visible uncertainty, personal trade-offs, accountable choice and decision invalidation when a fact changes.

Fictional renter momentTwo finalists. One concession expires soon. Utilities are unclear, commutes differ and household must-haves compete. A reasonable choice can become wrong when one fact changes.

Where this fits

A decision layer, not another listing marketplace.

01

Discover elsewhere

Find apartments through Zillow or another listing source. Use their photos, maps, filters and property communication.

02

Decide here

Bring finalists into one workspace, resolve missing facts, compare total cost and personal priorities, then record or withhold a choice.

Interactive example using fictional data

Resolve evidence, recompute and make a human choice.

The modeled cost informs the decision but never makes it. State lasts only for this page session; no account, production data, rental action or financial transaction is created.

Read the noninteractive walkthrough and rules
  1. Inspect two fictional apartment options. Harbor Court begins with missing utility evidence.
  2. Resolve the evidence as included or paid separately. A source conflict blocks the comparison.
  3. The application calculates 12-month cost as 12 × (rent + recurring fees + utilities) + nonrefundable fee − concession.
  4. Refundable deposits remain visible but are excluded from total cost. Unknown values are never treated as zero.
  5. Budget, commute and pet-policy must-haves determine which options remain eligible. Quiet-home evidence stays visible as a preference.
  6. The renter weighs eligible options and visible trade-offs, then chooses or abstains.
  7. Changing rent or utility evidence invalidates the prior receipt and requires a fresh decision.
