[IMPACT]
We are building a platform where users find a save space for discuss short-form investment research.
The finclout platform offers
1. A modern content recommendation engine that uses alternative data to match post and content preferences
2. a DAO platform where every user is a mod and users can earn crypto by moderating and curating the experience for each other on the the platform.
3. a Stakepool (RBA) which allows users to earn Cardano for their work on the platform.
Everybody is an incentivized mod - The platform uses simple AI to match the users preferences with relevant posts. The user then moderates and curates these posts for other users.
AI-driven expertise-matching. Content is not distributed to everyone but only to people who need to see it. The algorithm is similar to TikTok which creates a single-player social experience that allows each user to curate their own news feed without getting into filter-bubbles.
Community-features : The site will offer several community events, AMA’s with Investor relationship teams of companies and notable investors. Ask-the-expert type feature where for a fee the user can ask a specific question to another user. There will be rooms to discuss what happens about certain stocks / cryptos.
Peer-reviewed clout: Not everyone is an expert in everything. Hence someone who really knows Biotech and now comments on Fintech has a lower clout in this area and thus his/her opinion would be tagged as such.
Aggregated creator tools : The app aggregates across several social channels (incl., insider trades / politicians) and filters relevant news items. Further the app augments this information with financial and market data and automatically assigns through a rule-engine red flags and easy-to-understand visualizations to the news item.
The main concern that I see are threats of regulation that might impact the discussion of news articles related to investments on public forums.
[FEASIBILITY]
The MVP of the app is live and can be accessed at https://app.finclout.io.
However, we need support for the ISPO or more staking on RBA to get the wheel going.
In March we will start the creation of Creator Tokens.
In May we will start the creation of Events on the platform. We are currently evaluating Rocket Chat as the supplier for this technology.

[AUDITABILITY]
We are currently measuring the following OKRs:
1. Net Promoter Score - Needed for this type of network
2. CAC - Cost of Acquiring new customers
3. Total Sum of Network - Users across all network
4. WAU - Weekly Active Users
5. Conversion rate (Lurker -> User w/ account -> Contributior)
The project will be a success if users can be fully paid out from the rewards of the stake pool. I.e., there is so much liquidity in the system that it is self-sustainable like a nation state or a corporation.
This is a new proposal
