Could you build this?
Partial The web wrapper and face photo upload flow are simple, but the product relies on a custom machine learning model trained on a proprietary human-rated facial dataset.
What it would actually take: The application relies on collecting and curating a large dataset of facial photographs labeled with multi-annotator preference scores (RLHF or Bradley-Terry pairwise comparisons). The ML pipeline involves fine-tuning a vision model (e.g., a Vision Transformer or ResNet backbone with facial alignment preprocessing via MTCNN/MediaPipe) using PyTorch, deployed to an inference endpoint like Triton or TorchServe behind a lightweight web UI.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
