When I killed the Korean version: what channel mismatch actually looks like

Automated excerpt

About three months into building the Korean version, I showed the product to a financial analyst at a Korean institutional investor. He scrolled through the interface for maybe thirty seconds, then said something like: "we already have Bloomberg for data, what I need is something I can hand off." The "hand off" part is what stuck. Mainly crawl pipeline work and some frontend localization to do on top. The B2B buyers I'd built the international version for had already decided to integrate vendor risk data programmatically. I build er-api, a multilingual entity resolution service, and 2asy.ai, a trade intelligence graph.
