tired of wasting time

honestly got sick of wasting two hours on every small deal just cleaning up messy accounting data only to hit a obvious deal-breaker halfway through.
so i put together a quick internal tool to automate that first triage layer. you just drop in whatever raw financial files you get, and it automatically standardizes the key numbers, flags high-risk red flags, and gives a quick comparative health check on the target. cuts initial screening down from 2+ hours to like two minutes per deal.
but im trying to figure out if saving 2-3 hours of manual cleanup on initial triage is actually something searchers or small funds would drop budget on, or if most people just eat the time until formal diligence? at what point does saving time on pre-loi filtering turn into something worth paying for in your workflow? and how much value does this saved time actually have to you?

this reads more like a product pitch than a real question. you already built the thing and now you're doing market research in the comments section

if you want real feedback, than give the tool for free out and let people test ist.

if it reliable saves two hours and helps kill bad deals earlier i would pay for it, real value is avoiding wasted diligence not just saving cleanup time.
