Hey. Just launched - building a model for small hedge funds, prop shops, any quantitative firm to implement. All criticism is good criticism, be as mean as you'd like :)

The sarcasm is heavily working against you here. - Misspelling as "alll" - Drop the "Oh, ..." - "not exactly sure what these so-called ‘schools’ do, but I think if they keep working hard they’ll be famous one day." - "~enslaved~ employed 300 extraterrestrial space giraffes to speed up our math stuff" > The sorta freedom you only get in Afghanistan these days. Is this supposed to be a joke? Freedoms in Afghanistan have significantly declined since the Taliban took power in 2021. I stopped reading after this.

  Point noted, will rework those aspects. To note: I am Afghan myself, but I do see how that line particular could be a pain point. And yes was meant to be sarcastic. Thank you.

    OK, I didn't mean to sound harsh, that statement just seemed out of place. Taking another look at this, here's what I see: > As AI capability continues to advance, it'll consistently and increasingly outperform traditional human analysis in both speed and accuracy. > Our Orchid hybrid model combines neural networks, quantitative models, and language models to leverage both numerical and textual information, enabling smarter, faster algorithmic decision-making with significantly less human supervision. > Here's a couple use cases: ... > Simulating the past twelve months, our implementation of Orchid outperformed the S&P 500 by over 10%. These four statements tell me the problem/opportunity, your solution to that opportunity, how that solution might be relevant / useful to me, and proof that your solution works. This is your value proposition, and what I need to know about Orchid as a potential customer / user. I'd consolidate these four statements and put them at the top of the page. The jokes can come later (but I'd still tone down the sarcasm).
