Could you build this?
No Solving an open mathematical problem requires deep original mathematical research and theoretical insight, which cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: Solving open math problems requires rigorous mathematical proofs, number theory or combinatorics domain knowledge, and specialized verification (like Lean/Coq). While SQL or scripts can be used as computational exploratory tools, the hard part is novel theoretical mathematical discovery. This requires advanced mathematical training and human analytical reasoning.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a analytics & bi tool for Legal yet.
