I can't speak for the current TS, but to include proper
portfolio analysis, the proper way to get it done is to
have a lot of input first, then design the app from
ground up to support that.
Remember that if that is the case, money has to be
burnt with no reward for a long period of time
and you cannot even be sure if there is anyone going to buy it :)
If there is no code base to start from, 2003 is a highly
under estimation of the task at hand :)
