Do you properly flag Trusk submissions? Otherwise the simulation won't be very accurate at all.

The name "Every" makes it hard to parse some sentences because it's a meaningful word.

> Every CEO Dan Shipper is one of the 40 people beta-testing Rally

I had to read this several times in order to parse it as "the company called Every's CEO Dan".

I get that they wanted a punchy name, but what a poor choice!
