I already have mine, which can be improved and expanded.
Interested in a joint venture there?

A first step could be access to public libraries of deals with or without (this is more the BBO spirit) fee. Those libraries would be accessible from bidding practice selection of source deals.

A report on the effectiveness of your bidding system. Rather than basing it on theoretical considerations on the description of the system, its input would consist ideally on a partnership (a single player may also in all honesty make the bidding for all 4 players) bidding a set of representative hands against either bots or another partnership, the contract being compared to its statistical value in a scoring system (easiest is rubber bridge). The report gives a factual score (%) for your partnership bidding, as well as scores for various topics such as bidding strong hands, 3-suiters, slammish values, homogeneity of the partnership when swpping hands, a.s.o. The listed maximum scores are 100%. There is practically no minimum in case of rubber scoring (negative values). Actually the minimum for 1 deal is -4000/2540=-157%.

As an example on my existing benchmark tool, I have following overall scores for a limited set of deals:
Me partnering bots: 52%
My 5CM bidding system against itself: 76%
My precision system (VJ): 100%
Me and my female partner against bots: 53%
