-*'''Pricing model - AKA don't be a [[rentier]]''': How do I make money off something which is basically a simple idea that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance? The whole point of this tech is it is meant to be labour saving, right? I can’t do it per unit - the whole point is to eliminate the cost of having meatware do manual, repetitive tasks, and — once you have set it up — there is no actual cost to having a machine do it. So trying to act like a [[rentier]] is (a) a dick move and (b) is going to get you killed, because your big idea isn’t that flash, and someone will do it, and undercut you.

+*'''Remember the [[meatware]]''': If you convert your [[Meatware|user]] experience from “answering nuanced legal questions” into “completing a mandatory questionnaire”, you have lost. [[Document assembly]] applications: I’m talking to you. You are trying to make humans behave like machines. That is stupid. ''Humans aren’t good at emulating machines''.  Humans are better than machines precisely because they aren’t machine-like. If you have reduced your process to a rules-based questionnaire, ''you don’t need humans at all''. Get a machine to do it - hook it up to the trading system directly.
