A six-week pilot

Small enough to start in a week, long enough to see whether the records change how your team decides. It is paid, scoped in writing, and measured on your workflow, not on returns.

Scope

Universe
One public-market universe you choose
Focus
One narrative, event or catalyst family
People
One to three named users on your side
Sources
An agreed list, with usage rights recorded
Volume
An agreed maximum number of candidates
Cadence
A weekly working session with a written decision log

What you get

  • A decision record for every qualifying candidate: thesis, sources at the cutoff, revenue exposure, contradicting evidence, tests passed and failed, what's missing, and who approved it
  • The relevant part of the revenue-exposure map for your catalyst family, with sources and review status
  • Each candidate checked against a transparent baseline your team can explain
  • A forward record for every eligible candidate, measured after the decision without execution
  • A weekly review of false positives and missed events
  • A final audit bundle your risk or compliance team can replay, and a findings report

How we'll know it worked

The measures are about your team's work. Six weeks is too short to judge investment returns, so we won't pretend to.

  • Time from a question to a reviewable evidence record
  • Unsupported claims found, and how serious they were
  • Share of evidence with complete source and time information
  • Whether someone outside the build can replay the records
  • How often your reviewers agreed or overrode the record
  • Whether you'd continue at the agreed price

What's not included

  • Any promise about returns, alert volume or performance
  • Order placement, broker connections or portfolio management
  • Ingesting your holdings, unless agreed separately with the controls on our security page
  • Using your material to train models
  • Exclusive data

How it starts

  1. Talk

    A 30-minute call about the last time your team had to investigate a headline-driven move.

  2. Scope

    We agree the universe, catalyst family, sources, users and measures in writing.

  3. Sign

    A short order form with a fixed fee, confidentiality and termination terms, invoiced directly.

  4. Run

    Six weeks of records and weekly reviews, then a findings report and a decision about what comes next.
