What if I built a system that correlates ADS-B tracking of helicopters around Wall Street and the major news stories, then compared that with historical trends. Using this data to predict what big moves/problems could be coming? Obviously this would miss smaller things, but could be useful for off-hours sensitive meetings. Almost like the Twitter sentiment tracker, but for the Wall Street executives.
No idea if this would work. Good idea?
Travel data is an interesting data point for a lot of financial analysis, just to name a few:
- Hedge funds are tracking private jets to find the next-megadeal.
- Hedge funds are tracking frequency of delivery trucks going in and out of factories.
- Hedge funds are analyzing satellite images of parking spots outside of Walmart.

In fact, it may be precisely the opposite: that it (or something cloesly akin) is being used already generally validates the basic principles of any given "idea"
I probably didn't exhaust all possibilities -- wonder if this is a solved problem.
I probably won't build it or even do analysis on it. But maybe I'll look into it if there aren't any issues that other find with the idea.
the one that stoodout in stupidity for me was that one company that was supposed to be sharing their extra wifi to the public for free whnen not mining crypto currencies or something like taht...
I’d have to see an MVP, first. Build one.
This isn’t meant as a smarmy answer — I’d be in the target market, but I can’t give you a useful answer with nothing but an idea.
