That was my initial reaction too, but I suspect this is has utility in applications other than what you and I are looking for. From context, I gather this may be for thermodynamic arithmetic, or reaction product arithmetic.

I'd be really interested to know of anybody making money with those topics (and doesn't already have their own domain-specific practice for the problem)
Cheminformatics is such an example. Heavily used in computational drug discovery.
Computational biology/cheminformatics has probably been on the most frustrating investments pharma companies have made in the past 20 years. There's been waves of optimism with many hires, then a slump after reality doesn't match optimistic expections, and so on. This time it may actually be different, and I myself am in that camp. I'm particularly excited by the discoveries in sampling methods that aren't just molecular dynamics. And the cellular foundation models for pre-screening drug interactions - they aren't quite there yet, but give it time.
The cheminformatics I do (mostly drug discovery/biophysics) definitely requires bonds!
