If during development process of main product you will create almost done minor product, will you launch it? If so how will you do this?

Hey guys,

We are building stock fundamental analysis web app with AI on board and during development process we were slowed down by data vendors. I was extremely surprised that even trusted data vendors have lack of data and empty gaps in datasets, for example even in financial statements. After comparing same statement from data vendors with origin source data we realised that some fields did not have any value but origin statement has.

So we had to obtain data from SEC, which is free, and process inside our system. After some improvements of internal services, along with a large amount of historical fundamental data we have got accurate and recent data. Now we are curios should we launch this service and how not to slow down main project development.

    The question I would ask myself is WHY?

    If you launch it as another project, it will probably eat resources (specially time and focus).

    But maybe you can use it as a magnet, to get clients for your real product. I think Buffer did that with "Pablo" (pablo.buffer.com)

      Thank you Nico. We did not thought about it as a magnet, but probably it might work.

    By the way data service 90% ready for public launch.
