Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A centralized database aggregator that scrapes and parses final IPO prospectus filings to extract and display retail vs institutional allocation data.
  2. A browser extension that overlays historical IPO allocation data onto financial news articles or brokerage trading pages.
  3. A standardized reporting requirement template for regulatory bodies to mandate clear disclosure of final share allocation splits in post-IPO filings.
