This is something I would buy if I had confidence in the simulator.

Why not write a blog or a brief white paper giving some hint of what's going on behind the scenes?

Generally speaking, every bit of energy someone spends being cool (good UI) comes at the expense of energy spent being good. Maybe you've done some serious work on the simulator, but I can't tell from your marketing material.

Why would you assume that? If your model is already pretty much perfect, not much more you can spend your time on than presentation.

How do you distinguish a nonsense model from a good model when you don't have a writeup, you don't have validation data, and it is not possible to run cheap experiments?

I'm not saying you can't make money selling an RNG with a slick UI, you certainly can.
