Why I deliberately kept VANTIS as a pure tracker (not a tax advisor)

I'm building VANTIS, a wealth tracking platform for HENRYs and UHNWIs in the UK (net worth, real estate, crypto, collectibles, equity in unlisted companies, plus a calculated UK tax estimate).

In the first few weeks I planned to add broker comparison and active tax advice straight into V1. Then I realized that would create a real problem: it would shift the company's regulatory classification, and with it, SEIS eligibility for future investors.

So I cut it. V1 stays a pure tracker. No broker recommendations, no active tax advice, just clear visibility on what you own and what you might owe. The rest comes later, once the SEIS structure is locked in.

What surprised me is how much this constraint actually clarified the product. Less surface area, fewer promises, one job done well. It's also easier to explain to an investor or an early user: "it shows you your real wealth, full stop."

The app is live at tryvantis.com if anyone wants to take a look or break things.
