I really don&#x27;t think this is a good idea. Could potentially open up to lawsuits if the users disagree manual review outcome.<p>I think what is better is to make a deposit, use an AI to review the progress, if deemed unsatisfactory, then the money is held for 30+ days. After 30+ days, release the money back to the user. The penalty is that the user loses access to the money for 30 days. Maybe the company can then use that window to invest in bonds and return a profit. Charge a subscription price to use, something cheap like $5&#x2F;month or make it free if the bonds interest is big enough.<p>Regardless, I think these types of business models don&#x27;t work longterm.
