Great write-up! I generally think postmortems and retrospectives are very valuable* and this one does a great job of presenting what you did and lessons learnt. I feel like the lessons you presented are both broadly correct and valuable to have described within the context of your real-world project.
I’m someone who was not in favor of some of your past plans, but having read this postmortem, I’m excited to see what you end up doing in the future. Good luck at the bank!
*I’ve been collecting a list of postmortem/retrospective posts on LessWrong and I’ll be glad to add this one to it.
I wasn’t thinking of it being publicly available yet, but I’m happy to share. The list is really a sample tag I’ve been testing with our in-development, early-stage tagging MVP. We probably won’t release tagging for several months due to design complexity/risks (assuming we conclude it’s the correct choice at all), however you can see this list I’ve been making here:

As you’ll see, the UI isn’t really complete.
