We Need Help with Our Anomaly Detection Algorithm

Question

Hey, I'm a co founder of Bomfather https://bomfather.dev/. We are in the process of adding anomaly detection to our product and this write up is a pretty deep dive into how we are thinking of approaching it.We would really appreciate any thoughts or improvements that you guys have!The write up is on our blog page since it has a couple of images as well as latex, and HN doesn't allow images or latex formatting.https://bomfather.dev/blog/2025-11-14-help-with-our-algorithm/

Is this product open source/free or for-profit?
I ask because if this is for-profit, help to devise a proprietary algorithm that will become a core part of it feels like something that should be done as a consulting engagement, not a HN post. And in that case, we are only about a week off of the monthly hiring posts, so I'd recommend reaching out to folks who post on the 'who wants to be hired' or the freelancer threads.
Different story if this is free and open source, of course.
