Our Take
Value is speed, not depth. It’s an aggregator — the number usually originated elsewhere. Perfect for a deck due tomorrow; for decision-critical work, treat it as the index to the source, not the source.
Power Tips
- Date the source, not the upload (Issue 1)
- trace footnotes before citing (Issue 3)
- use as the market-context layer in workflows (Issue 1).
