Thanks. Obviously I'm not a direct user of your technology and so maybe this is not intended for me but if you could translate your "A" and "B" into a hard, real-life example that I could understand I would be empowered to be an advocate for you. Best of luck to you.

No worries, happy to concretize this: the really easy example would be shoes. How much would you pay for just a right shoe or just a left shoe? A lot less than the pair, since you might not be able to find the other shoe in the right size, condition, etc. Same with the seller - they don't want to be stuck trying offload a single left shoe.

In stocks, A might be a company you invested in and B some ETF that you bought as a hedge for A. What if you sell out of A, and then the price of the ETF drops? There's value in being able to liquidate the full position - the single stock plus the hedge - at once.
