The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hey, long time no see, shrewd peeps.

Delayed response to 5thhorseman's post in which he wrote: Upstart seems to be expanding beyond their core competency of AI-driven risk assessment. I would have thought that most of not all auto manufacturers already have their own "Build and price" webpage.

Upstart has been developing expertise at user interfaces for their direct contact with customers as well as delivering customized front-ends for their lending partners. So this is an outgrowth of that segment of the business.

They're trying to become an indispensable partner for a range of businesses, providing consumer facing webpages/portals/software in addition to the risk assessment part of the biz.
