== Peers ==

Received feedback from someone that he thinks that the peers in the valuation section of this report are unsuitable. No peers were provided by the person, so at the moment, it's best to keep the peers as they are.

:Received further feedback from the same person:

:* The peers cannot be publicly listed companies. When asked why they cannot be publicly listed companies, no reason was provided.
:* The peers need to offer the same offering (i.e. investment research, ideally free-to-access investment research).
:* Potential peers are Finbit (https://finbit.io) and Marketsmith (https://marketsmith.investors.com). I checked Finbit's website and it isn't really an investment research/information provider (it's a financial information gatherer and analyser), so it's not really a competitor of the Stockhub platform. Marketsmith, on the other hand, is an investment information/research provider and, therefore, is a peer of Stockhub.
:* On a side note, the person said that he thinks that even if a company provides free-to-access investment research that is materially better, in terms of quality, than Goldmans Sachs, an institutional investor, such as Blackrock, will not use it, because 1) it's free and 2) the investor probably already has a relationship with Goldmans Sachs. No reason why provided as to why he thinks that, and my view is that his thinking is illogical and, therefore, it's best to ignore his thinking.

== Summary section ==

How was the ROI calculated? That's an unusually high ROI. --[[User:Ferd|Ferd]] ([[User talk:Ferd|talk]]) 16:49, 23 March 2022 (GMT)

:The answer to this question can be found in the Valuation section of the report. A note has now been added to the summary section of the report, detailing that (i.e. that the ROI calculation is found in the Valuation section of the report). --[[Special:Contributions/94.119.64.34|94.119.64.34]] 16:53, 23 March 2022 (GMT)

== What is the mission of the company? ==

Stockhub isn't going to ''make'' money for people, it's helping them make better decisions as to which companies to invest in. --[[Special:Contributions/94.119.64.24|94.119.64.24]] 17:08, 23 March 2022 (GMT)

:I agree that ''make'' more money is a little strong; I think a softer/better description is this: to ''help'' make more money. 

:Also, the first version of Stockhub (i.e. the current version) is to help 'Active Investors' make better investment decisions, but the ''mission'' of the company is to help make more money for everyone. This section of the report (i.e. the 'What’s the mission of the company?' section) refers to the mission of the company.

:The table below highlights the key similarities and differences between the Stockhub company, the first version of the Stockhub product and the final version of the Stockhub product.

:The report has now been updated accordingly.

== Who’s the target audience of the product?  ==

"The audience is Investors. An investor is anyone who is willing and able to make an investment."

I feel the target audience is too broad, and needs to be narrower. I feel a better target audience is the following: people who are willing and able to be actively involved in the process of finding suitable investments (i.e. Active Investors). The report has now been updated to reflect that change.
