Also working in and around banking, this is a huge issue. Terrifying. Fat finger mistakes are rampant. I think you are on the right problem, but your solution is too much built for you and not for the people creating the problem (low-tech analysts). Think you did get enough feedback here though, so I won't try add anything. Sadly I think this Excel issue feels so unlikely to get better any time soon. Institutions teach students using Excel, businesses use Excel. The analysts of 10 years in the future are learning Excel today, not python/pandas/R

My only 2c: Your product from first glance looks like a Spyder python IDE. That immediately turns me away from using it as I'd rather use a Jupyter Notebook, or a Streamlit app, or even better than both I've been testing the hex.tech app which really solves the problem you are working on. I think your issue isn't building the wrong thing but rather perhaps being unaware of the alternatives in the "internal data questions" space, let alone the Business Intelligence tooling space.
