Standup + OKRs week 2

UPDATE: The purpose of the Key Requirements was to measure interest for idea validation. Given that the idea is already validated to an extent by another organization (see Friday's stand-up notes), proving this seems less important, but this will still be important once I have a product to show.

Also, I found a research report from the Pew Research Center (opens in a new tab) I bookmarked a while back that has a lot of data to suggest there is a young, online-news-reading demographic that knows there is bias in their news and would really appreciate tools/products/services that address that.
