Anyone Interested in an "Ultimate Niche Technical Guide"?

Have some time on my hands given a down market and was curious if anyone thinks there would be a demand for a guide of technical questions that are niche and more nuanced (collected from SA/FT interviews with EBs) than the BIWS guide. 

This would be just a series of questions/answers asked frequently from EB/industry boutique firms. Thanks for your input.

I don't work in banking anymore (and it's pretty unlikely I'll ever go back), but nearly every one of my ~30 SA processes in IB had a couple of tough technicals.

From paper LBOs, to PIK interest accounting, to 338-related questions, and more, I got plenty of questions that the guides hit not as closely. Never got a question about the Black-Shoales equation tho
