Is it just me, or does it seem extremely dangerous to market: “Strata doesn't just show the data. It makes the call.” The page states it’s powered by Claude with nothing I could see that relates to its performance, metrics, processes, testing, etc. for something expected to be used in a safety application.

"You're right to push back on that. Let me take a step back and reconsider the requirements for an application that people might entrust with their lives."

Read the headline - sounds like a therapy / anti-suicide advocacy app? Clicked the link - ok looks like it's for ski touring, because it mentions avalanche stuff? Checked the route catalog - wait, there's barely any ski tours here and it's a bunch of random hikes from around the country. Why is avalanche risk highlighted when 99% of hikers are probably gonna stay home if there's a big snowstorm? Is this by chance you…

Unfortunately I think you've given far more thought into the concept than OP has

Should I climb this mountain? Analyze the data. Make no mistakes.
