I am building an analytics calculator/toy that slowly turned into something useful.

It started as curiosity. I wanted to see if I could express business logic as simple choices and let the numbers fall out on their own.

The app is built interactively in Streamlit. I do not sit down with a spec or a backlog. I add one small idea at a time, refresh the page, react to what looks wrong, then adjust. It feels closer to sketching than programming. The interface tells me what the logic should be next.

Underneath there is a growing pile of rules about the business I am in.

I do not write code in the traditional sense.

I have never coded before and are solving my own problem done by one, this sure feels like magic!!
