As what we do is effectively a limited case of this (recommendations as a service), I'll give my two cents: This will cause a total nerdgasm, and nobody will buy it. There is an inverse correlation for how much abstraction is between our product and our customers' bottom-lines and how quickly they're willing to open their wallets. The proposed notion here is taking a couple steps further away from providing an end-to-end solution to a problem. Geeks love that kind of stuff. It's hard to get people to pay for it.
