WellNest — the $500 data‑driven home‑health scan that spots hidden air, water, mold, EMF and product toxins before they become costly medical or remediation bills.
Headline Stat
Indoor environmental toxins contribute to over 90% of chronic toxin exposure in the U.S., and Americans spend ~90% of their lives indoors.
Problem / Untapped Opportunity
Millions of homes harbor invisible health risks—toxic VOCs, mold, contaminated tap water, EMF hotspots, and hazardous products—yet most people have no idea.
professional home environmental inspections can cost $5,000–$10,000+, putting proactive testing out of reach for most households.

Market Size
U.S. homes: ~125 million
TAM for environmental inspections: ~$10B+ (Assumes 10% of homes receive $1,000–$10,000 inspections over the next decade)
SAM for WellNest-style assessments: ~$2–3B near-term (Targeting 10M+ proactive health-conscious, eco-conscious, or at-risk households for $500–$1,000 per year)
Add-on market for remediation and subscriptions: Multi-billion dollar industry in water filters, HVAC upgrades, EMF mitigation, and toxin-free product consulting.
Solution: Simplified Home Health Intelligence Platform
🧪 $499 Starter Kit
Includes lab-confirmed water test (lead, PFAS, heavy metals), indoor air quality monitor (PM2.5, VOCs), mold spore detection, EMF sensor strip, and product toxicity review via barcode scan + product database.
Plug-and-play hardware with app-driven walkthrough of where and how to test.
🧠 AI-Guided Results & Action Plan
In-app dashboard helps users interpret results, benchmark against safe levels, and flag serious risks.
Tailored recommendations for fixes (e.g. install water filter, upgrade HVAC, replace toxic products).
Prioritization engine scores urgency and helps plan changes over time.
🚨 Concierge Upgrade Path (Optional)
For homes with flagged risks: full-service inspections, licensed remediation partners, or deeper lab testing (e.g. mycotoxins, radon, RF shielding).
Transparent pricing ($1–$5k) only offered when data justifies it.
🔁 Annual Monitoring Subscription ($99/yr)
Re-testing, seasonal alerts, trend tracking, and deeper diagnostics if issues emerge.
Optional product swaps and smart integrations (e.g. monitor filter life or air quality trends via smart home).
Why Now
Environmental Health Awareness Is Peaking PFAS, mold illness, and sick building syndrome are rising in mainstream awareness—particularly post-COVID. Consumer demand for “home as health platform” is growing.
Sensors & Lab Costs Have Collapsed What once required a $5K technician visit can now be done with consumer-grade sensors + mail-in kits at a fraction of the cost. i.e. Multiparameter IAQ monitors that cost $1 500 five years ago now retail under $150.
Data-Driven DIY Confidence Is Mainstream From wearable health tracking to microbiome tests, consumers are trained to expect lab-backed insights and on-demand upgrades—and trust affordable first-pass testing.
Remote Expert Networks – tele‑consulting regulations now allow licensed IEQ professionals to advise nationwide, lowering upgrade cost
Competitors Are High-Cost or Hyper-Local Lightwork and similar services charge $10K+, operate in only a few cities, and require high-touch onboarding. WellNest brings it to every doorstep.
Strategic Edge in an AGI Future
AI–First Network Effect – Every kit feeds a rapidly growing indoor‑environment dataset. AGI models improve anomaly detection, local risk prediction and remediation matching—raising the moat with each scan.
Physical & Trust Anchors – Even in a world where AGI synthesizes information, families still need tangible verification of air, water and surfaces; hardware + lab results remain irreducible.
Dynamic Risk Pricing – AGI‑driven analytics will enable insurer partnerships and “healthy‑home” discounts, embedding WellNest into property underwriting.
Modular test kits allow future add-ons (radon, pesticides, air pathogens) without reinventing the core flow.
