      <p>BeanFlows exists because the gap between Bloomberg and free USDA flat files shouldn't be $24,000.</p>
    </div>
  </section>

  <!-- Mission -->
  <section class="container-page py-12 max-w-3xl mx-auto">
    <h2 class="text-2xl mb-4">The problem</h2>
    <p class="text-stone mb-4">If you're an independent coffee trader, roaster, or analyst, your data options are limited. You either pay for a Bloomberg Terminal you'll use 5% of, spend hours manually downloading and wrangling USDA flat files, or subscribe to a platform built for hedge funds trading 50 commodities at once.</p>
    <p class="text-stone mb-8">None of these are built for you.</p>

    <h2 class="text-2xl mb-4">What BeanFlows does</h2>
    <p class="text-stone mb-4">We take the freely available USDA Production, Supply &amp; Distribution data &mdash; the same data the big terminals use &mdash; and transform it into clean, analytics-ready metrics. Charts, country comparisons, stock-to-use ratios, CSV exports, and a REST API. Updated daily.</p>
    <p class="text-stone mb-8">No proprietary black box. The source data is public. Our methodology is transparent.</p>

    <h2 class="text-2xl mb-4">How we build it</h2>
    <p class="text-stone mb-4">Our data pipeline runs daily: extract from USDA, transform through a 4-layer SQL pipeline (raw, staging, cleaned, serving), and deliver to the dashboard. Built with DuckDB, SQLMesh, and Python. No heavy infrastructure, no unnecessary complexity.</p>

    <h2 class="text-2xl mb-4">Who this is for</h2>
    <ul class="space-y-2 text-stone mb-8">
      <li><strong class="text-espresso">Independent traders</strong> who need coffee supply &amp; demand data without a terminal subscription.</li>
      <li><strong class="text-espresso">Roasters &amp; importers</strong> tracking origin country production trends for sourcing decisions.</li>
      <li><strong class="text-espresso">Analysts &amp; researchers</strong> who want clean, exportable coffee commodity data.</li>
    </ul>

    <h2 class="text-2xl mb-4">The team</h2>
    <p class="text-stone mb-8">BeanFlows is built and operated by a solo developer who believes commodity data should be simple, affordable, and transparent. No sales team, no enterprise negotiations. Just data.</p>
