I began my comment by pointing out how your comment was disrespectful, and was blunt it making that point, but I digress.
My main point is that you misapplied those otherwise true principles from YC SUS because you haven't had enough practice with them. Quantconnect and Streak have totally different customers and value proposition - they aren't comparable to Quantbase, and so your entire analysis is incorrect at the start from faulty assumptions (in part perhaps because I need to further clarify the value prop - a marginal improvement).
A 10x improvement is a great rule of thumb because the costs of switching and trust is high - which means that magnitude improvement is relative to the alternatives, and is in the direction of an actual value proposition. People don't use Quantconnect because they have a great How It Works explanation, they use it for the community and trading API. Likewise, missing a How It Works section on my site - while a great suggestion and one I'll eventually add - is likely just a marginal improvement (because it isn't a core value prop) and certainly would be a waste of time for validation (unless my site was too confusing to understand in the first place for most people so my value prop isn't being communicated). Because Quantconnect and Quantbase aren’t alternatives, and How It Works sections aren’t in the direction of a value proposition for either, mentioning the need for a 10x magnitude improvement from a non competitor suggesting a non value prop is just non sensical.
Again, I appreciate your feedback, you just came across as disrespectful by jumping to conclusions on incorrect applications of principles and that's what I took issue with. YC SUS is an awesome resource, but make sure you understand their teachings (by testing them yourself and building your own startups), otherwise you may misapply them.
