The creator-business opportunity

Followers needed Kristen's advice at the exact moment a spill happened, but searching old videos and comment threads is slow, and generic cleaning lists often ignore the material, products on hand, or what happened after the first attempt.

The product Built by Foundry created

Stain Fix converts the creator's method into an immediate workflow: photograph the mess, confirm the stain and surface, follow small timed steps, record the outcome, and save a working fix for next time.

Core product capabilities

  • Photo-assisted stain and surface identification
  • Step-by-step cleaning plans with safety notes
  • Timer-guided cleaning actions and product substitutions
  • Saved fixes for recurring household messes

What Built by Foundry handled

  • Converted repeat audience questions into a focused product workflow
  • Designed the photo, confirmation, rescue-plan, timer, and saved-fix experience
  • Built and published the iOS application
  • Provides ongoing maintenance and post-launch improvements
