The first universally recognised example of [[fi-fi]] was {{author|Hunter Barkley}}’s 2022 curious opus the {{br|The ISDA Protocol}}. Barkley developed the concept in his series of short stories, {{br|The Opco Boone Adventures}}. By 1950 — a feature of the genre is that the time it exists in is in no sense linear — the genre had developed into other formats. A notable early cinematic release was  Muriel Repartee’s Z-grade financial disaster movie {{br|The Day of the MiFID}}, its sequel just seven years later, {{br|MiFID Reloaded}} and the frankly disappointing culmination the trilogy, {{br|MiFID 2.1: Quick Fix}} set in the aftermath of a global pandemic, where an out-of-ideas Repartee contradicted the plot of earlier movies in a desperate attempt to breathe life into the franchise.

The genre then split into so-called “[[hard fifi]]” and “[[mundane fifi]]”, in which all elements of the narrative elements were constrained by an overriding concern for juridical accuracy and a primacy placed on technical details, and [[soft fifi]] and “[[fantasy fifi]]”, where the emphasis is on the human element of the story and the technical feasibility or even possibility of the world-building is less important, and may be bent to accommodate the psycho drama.
