The flank challenge is (probably) too hard

Literally no one (myself included) has successfully completed it yet..

But I do have to say, doing my Berkshire valuation literally felt like deadlifting 500#. The gym analogy feels right here.

So I’d say it was worth it, but my bias is quite strong.

I designed the flank business model to work if we have a 66% completion rate, so the fact we’re at 0% tells me something needs to change.

It’s mainly the research component right now where a lot of challengers aren’t completing… Berkshire did take me two months, as I was balancing a lot of stuff (which we all are)

But I don’t want to throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water… there was serious value to that.

Maybe we just need better indication/notifications. When I think how Duolingo does this well is through like borderline harassment— but it works. Higher cognitive load apps are fighting an unfair fight.. we have to be creative, but not lose sight of the goal. Our goal is to make us better investors

would it be fun if all Challengers start the challenge on the first of every month? And then see who makes it to the end each month? Could be fun?

Really looking for thoughts
