Key risks

Capitol Trades, Unusual Whales, and Quiver Quantitative all offer this data free - charging for publicly available STOCK Act data is a very hard value-prop fight.
STOCK Act allows up to 45-day disclosure delays, making the data structurally stale and undermining the 'edge' narrative traders need to justify paying.
Viral social accounts (e.g. @unusual_whales with 1M+ followers) already own the attention layer for this content type, making organic growth very expensive to compete against.
