Their audience

Retail investors who want visual snowflake-chart stock analysis

Forensic audience

What Simply Wall St does well

Snowflake chart visualization of value/health/risk/growth/dividend
Long-term investing focus with company narratives
Wide global ticker coverage (US, UK, ANZ, EU)
Portfolio-level analysis tools
Approachable for retail beginners

Where Forensic fills the gap

Their 'risk' axis is fundamentals-based, not SEC-filing-based
No 8-K buried-event classification
No Item 1.05 cyber-incident detection
No accession-cited forensic narratives

When Forensic is the right fit

You want SEC-filing red flags specifically (officer departures, dilution events, listing notices)
You're researching small-caps where 8-K cadence reveals what the snowflake misses
You want $9 one-shot reports rather than a $10-40/mo subscription
