Imagine following situation:

You've constructed your first Trading Company and want to know, which trade route would be the most efficient one, or which route gives you the most of that desperately needed luxury resource.

Why not adding a preview feature into the already existing "Economy Scan" screen? You could simply hover your curser above a system and (as long as there is at least one company headquarter) it would show you a little window with all values generated by a potential trade subsidiary (dust, science, luxury resources) and pre-calculated, depending on postions of all headquarters, their investment and the trade values of systems .

Due to the nature of the trade income calculations, no detailed preview we could give would stay accurate for more than a few turns.

Not sure if the most proper way. But as actually everyone has the same issue with econ view & trade routes, I upvoted, to ensure at least devs take a look at your proposal.

Some proposal about making econ view more interactive like yours are in forums, and I also think this can make this view more useful and interesting for players.

Furthermore I see actual system a bit complicated to understand, as trade values seems to change once you locate a company/subsidiary, making it unclear to predict what will happen before building them. So any improvement will be welcome.
