Full Reasoning
Wins by laser-focusing on the high-value niche of options flow data, delivering it in an actionable, real-time format for individual traders. The asymmetric bet here is providing a specialized terminal experience at a price point that dramatically undercuts traditional institutional data providers. Other builders: resist the urge to build a Swiss Army knife; instead, dominate one critical data stream and make it exceptionally accessible.
