I'd love to hear your thoughts after using our tool, Finviz is a stock screener, Stock Unlock does not have a Stock screener. I'd love to gain more insights on your thoughts here so we can understand how we appear "at a glance" from the consumer lense. Is there somewhere on our marketing material that makes it seem that we are a screener? If that's the case we would love to iterate/make it clear we aren't a stock screener. Thanks for this insight ^_^

Your comment about not being a screener confuses me. It sounds more like. "Our product owner doesn't like the word screener" If your additional payment-worthy feature is explaining the technical terms.

  This makes a lot of sense, we are going to work really hard internally to work on our branding/what our marketing site is saying. It seems that we aren't properly conveying what we are, and that's on us. I'm grateful for you taking the time to bring this to our attention. I'm all ears for any other feedback you have! > Why gain insights into future performance if you're not screening stocks for purchase? Your comment about not being a screener confuses me. It sounds more like. "Our product owner doesn't like the word screener" Most of the insights we have are analyzing past financials for things like "is this company profitable", "is this companies dividend payment > than their free cash flow" for example. I did look up the english definition for "screener" and it's a bit vague. I always viewed it strictly as an input tool, where users enter in criteria and then get "screened" search results which filter from a large DB/etc. I may be mistaken if that term applies to more than just things like finviz, but that's my experience with it. I've never seen someone use the term "screener" for a new feature like ours that doesn't conform to/behave like any other screeners I've used to date. English is hard lol, I prefer Python :p
