This looks incredibly useful for researchers, though you&#x27;ll need to offer a lower price.<p>e.g. I&#x27;m a neuroscientist. Say I have a question about whether or not to perform fiber tractography through brain regions that show hypointense lesions, like in multiple sclerosis. There are probably a few thousand people that could give decent answers to solve the problem, and less than a hundred that could directly answer it more-or-less definitively (since they are likely to be the eventual paper&#x27;s reviewers).<p>I&#x27;d certainly be willing to pay to get that answer up front. Especially when the alternative is doing your best and having to redo the analysis and rewrite the paper later.

While pitching barefoot might not work for everyone, watching the referenced TED talk and the Tropical Thunder scene are highly recommended!
