While I agree with your statement and recognize that, for now, Perplexity has only introduced a financial information platform comparable to Google Finance or Yahoo Finance, the true value of any forward-looking financial model is rooted in the depth of the qualitative research supporting it.

Building a useful forward looking financial model mostly involves qualitative analysis. This means thoroughly examining the company's and competitors' 10-Ks and 10-Qs, digesting industry reports, understanding the company’s business model, breaking down the underlying mechanics of the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, identifying the core processes driving value creation, forming solid hypotheses on how the business will evolve, etc.

I believe Perplexity, as an advanced answering engine, provides a strong foundation for supporting this kind of in-depth research and hope to see the platform evolve into this direction.
