This idea is interesting, but you still need to figure out how to account for those transactions. In today's system of accounting a transaction can take many different forms with radical implications:

For example: Company A sells product to Company B. When is cash exchanged? When is the product delivered? How much interest if any is part of the transaction? etc.

What may be required to implement your idea would be to create a new system of accounting that has more depth than traditional accounting (Accrual Accounting).

*Also, what is "business of financial analysis"? There is no such business. There are many businesses that implement financial analysis, and all of them add value to the economy and to their clients, investors etc.
