Honestly just spend a few hours talking to Claude about them, I had a few breakthrough moments doing that.

Is there any research on consumer preferences and why, for example, people might PREFER to be alone vs. eating in a diner? It feels like socialization used to be a forced mechanism…

The LLC isn't inactive, you just found the wrong one. EXPAND IT INC (4776106) is registered to the proper address. Guessing the website is down from traffic.

Generally, these are stuffed in there for marketing and aren't very effective when used in actual business scenarios. Source: I do a lot of post-sales consulting work implementing …
