The brief kills itself: it says legal-doc generation and PII are out of scope and 'the bureaucratic forms change constantly, negating any software leverage,' which leaves a lead-gen page with no defensible product. A 21-upvote, 2-comment signal is a single anecdote, not a market, and Computershare's own free holder-lookup portal already does the only automatable step. The registrars themselves (like Computershare and Equiniti) are actively rolling out self-service holder portals, structurally destroying the need for a third-party guidance tool.

Ten of the next a community 'find my old shares' askers pay a £99 deposit upfront for a completed recovery packet after a free walkthrough; paid completions, not screen-share thank-yous, prove the $99 job is real. You successfully guide three expats through the recovery process manually and collect a $99 success fee from each.
People who bought shares decades ago and then moved abroad have no clean way to reclaim or sell them. In a demand signal, 'How can I sell old shares?' (21 upvotes, 2 comments), the poster writes: "30 years ago I bought shares in a UK insurance company... I no longer have the certificates or any proof of ownership, no longer live in the UK, and want to simplify things for my heirs." That is a workaround-shaped problem (they are trying to estate-simplify by hand) with money literally trapped on the table. The retirement signal '37 more workdays until retirement!!'
