I might use this if I felt like you were going to last, but I'm having trouble seeing the longevity in this type of idea as the market you are targeting is exceedingly small. Consider selling the software + license, with premium fees for support and source code. This type of algorithm is definitely something I would pay good money to own, but as a service, it doesn't make much sense.

Selling license with source code is actually what our first paying customer is doing. Just thought making it a service will make things, such as evaluation, a bit easier. Maybe you'll disagree? I don't have that much experiences selling 'naked' algorithm, specifically where to find prospects for this one. Any hints?
- henryl 18y agoI'd sell it as some sort of library. You'll have to add a lot more features, bells and whistles to make it seem worthwhile. Here's a premium math library for .NET: www.dewresearch.com. We've also stumbled upon recommendation engine libraries for PHP or Java. I'd be interested in speaking with you further about licensing your library. Email me at hanyangliu (gmail)
