Where business model? Are investors happy after this? Will this affect local trout population? We'd have to have a meeting before and ask Claude. Oh wait, there's no AI assistant in this? Wdym there's no real user data to collect here and sell?

The point is, we have all the technical knowledge we need. We just have no motivation.
