<p>You have to understand that people like you, that you that keep talking about enterprise governance and risk, should facilitate business users to do these things securely. This should have always been the case but somehow it has ended up more with restricting rather than facilitating. Hopefully tools like claude code will prove the value add more easily, changing everything I hate about corp IT.</p>

<p>As if original thought occurs out of thin air. AI is definitely capable to take aspects of design and apply it elsewhere.</p>

<p>First of all this project is great and finance is ready for a disruption like this. I'm sure a lot of good research and development went into this.<p>Quality research indeed doesn't always make money, so I agree that it doesn't make sense to present these type of metrics. But at the same type, it will be hard to trust this sort of thing immediately without having a way to validate its output. 
At the very least I would like to know that the financial metrics it calculates (esp those based on 20/30 data points) are correct. Looks like there is some transparency build in and that's a good thing.<p>But people that are not a pro in investment research wouldn't know that it messed up a certain metric and therefore the output is different from what it tells me. Or maybe it is not messing up entirely, but a certain sector-specific detail doesn't get picked up making a signal less strong than the output made you believe. Maybe you already have it but if not maybe you could get some sort of validation layer added, that could also serve as some sort of customisable calculation engine, I'd use it right away.</p>

<p>"it works" is a very low standard when it comes to software engineering. Why are we not holding AI generated code to the same standards as we hold our peers during code reviews?<p>I have never heard anyone say "it works" as a positive thing when reviewing code..<p>Yes, there is a productivity boost but you can't tell me there is no decrease in quality</p>

<p>This is a perfect example of taking a simple idea and elevating it/ executing it well. Well done!<p>As someone that has used 531 for a while, I thought an app like this would not add  much value. I mean, we can all track our progress in a spreadsheet. But I must say that it looks great.<p>This stuff is inspiring to see..</p>
