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.
