Rum must set a trap to lure out spies. Then as Amuro is about to be exposed, Kir takes the fall and is executed in front of Amuro. Reinstates the threat of the org and gets rid of the too many spies problem. Need alot of BO grunts revealed or in action, top memebrs shouldnt be doing the diry work and also makes it seem like a bigger org then some street gang. Finally someone from Conan side must die to reinstate the danger. Im thinking someone from police or James Black. Additionally final twist must reveal real Rum is not Wakita, and its actually someone who's been trailing our MCs. This I think will brink back Vermouth Arc levels of hype. Thoughts?

Is there scope for me to start a financial research firm where I do sector analysis or deal dilligence memos for angel investors, small family offices, PE firms, and VC? So basically I would deliver a financial research report and recommendation for firms looking at deals or looking at entering a particular sector. Im a student right now so I do want to do a couple of free work until I get some good testimonials. But is this even a viable business model and would firms actually buy from me? Appreciate your thoughts!

Hey guys, I am a Econ and Finance student, but I really want to do something entrepreneurial. Is there scope for doing financial analysis independently for businesses. Like Cash Flow statements, KPI dashboards, statements and maybe forecasting too? Like kind of a Big4 type role but for smaller fees. Would businesses actually pay people like me for that kinda stuff and is it actually valuable?

Thanks

Guys, I have been interested in data analytics/science and finance for quite a while. I was wondering if there was any scope in doing an analytics company, where I would gather their company data and solve problems and offer reccomendations. I was thinking of focusing on eCom and SaaS companies and give recommendations on issues such as inventory optimization and churn reduction. Is there any scope for this?? What kinda problems can I actually address with analytics and which ones would people actually pay to be fixed?? Would appreciate any insights and be as honest as possible. Thanks guys

Shopify founders doing meaningful revenue:

Have you ever made a costly mistake because you didn't have enough visibility into what was happening in your business?

What happened?

And what information would have helped you avoid it?

Shopify store owners:

Looking back over the last 12 months, what was the hardest growth or profitability decision you had to make?

Examples:

• Inventory purchases
• Increasing ad spend
• Pricing changes
• Product launches
• Customer retention initiatives
• Expanding into new channels

What made the decision difficult? And what information would have made you much more confident in making it?

Thanks guys!

For founders doing at least a few hundred thousand in ARR:

What business question do you find yourself revisiting over and over again, but never feel like you have a clear answer to?

Examples might be:

• Why customers churn
• Whether pricing is right
• Which acquisition channels are actually working
• What is limiting growth
• Revenue forecasting

What question creates the most uncertainty in your business today? Also what business decision was the hardest to make because you felt you didn't have enough information?

Not necessarily the biggest decision, just one where you wished you had more confidence in the data, evidence, or assumptions behind it.

I'm a data science student with a finance background considering offering comparable company analysis as a service specifically to lower middle market business brokers and small PE firms in the US and UK.

The idea in one sentence: I do the analytical legwork like pulling comps, calculating trading multiples, researching precedent transactions, building clean deliverables, so brokers and PE associates can focus on deal execution and client relationships.

Pricing I'm considering: $1,500–$2,500 per analysis or $3,000–$4,000/month retainer for active firms doing multiple deals.

Before I invest weeks building this out I want honest answers from people who actually know this space:

1. Do business brokers and small PE firms actually feel this pain or do they have it handled?
2. Is $1,500–$2,500 per analysis a price they'd consider or laughable?
3. Is there an obvious reason this wouldn't work that I'm missing?
4. Would trust be a dealbreaker, would a broker actually use an external analyst's comps in a client presentation?

Not looking for encouragement. Looking for the brutal truth before I waste time on a bad idea. Genuinely appreciate any perspective from people in PE, brokerage, or M&A.

Hey just doing some market research!

Im a data science student and been looking to build an independent agency. Im curious if services such as competitor analysis reports(pricing, positioning), market research reports (build with public data, financial reports such as revenue forecasting, or growth audits with recommendations backed by data, can be sold. I would do it as an independent agency and sell remotely to multiple businesses around the world. I would either do it for a flat like $1000 or get a retainer.

Do startups actually pay for this sort of stuff and is it in demand for you guys? Is there any analysis you've always wanted but couldn't justify the cost for? I appreciate honest answers including "no one pays for this, here's why". Im tryna get a picture before I actually build something. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am actually a software engineer doing market research. So I wanted to know if your Ads not being compliant with Facebook's policies are an issue. Do your Ad accounts get flagged often or do they get shadow banned? Is there issues with "unfriendly" text or imagery that might get your ads to not perform well. Additionally if there was a tool that allowed you guys to mitigate these issues, would you pay for it. Thanks guys!
