2. Rumor Hound
Actionable M&A Rumors
Identify credible M&A rumors with speed and pinpoint accuracy before the information is widely
disseminated on the street. Rumor Hound helps you generate alpha by surfacing rumors early in the
information cycle. Rumor Hound finds where rumors start amidst an ocean of digital channels, so you
can focus on making good decisions with the information provided.
M&A rumors emanate from any one of countless different data
sources. It’s impossible for human traders to effectively sift
through thousands of disparate data sources in a timely manner
and surface the credible rumors with market moving potential.
Problem
Rumor Hound scrapes thousands of disparate unstructured
data sources in real time and identifies rumors buried in the
data providing a filtered list of rumored acquisition targets
scored by recency and credibility.

3. Rational Exuberance
Federal Reserve Contextual Insights
Rational Exuberance helps you tackle information overload in the context of confusing Fedspeak
and cross-talk amongst Fed governors. It parses news, economic data, and official FOMC state-
ments combining all that noisy data to better forecast interest rate changes.
Fed communications contain too much nuanced information related to
monetary policy for humans to process. Divergences between the Fed’s
interpretation of economic indicators and the market’s interpretation of
the same data create compelling investment opportunities. Due to our
biological processing limits, opportunities are often missed.
Problem
Rational Exuberance continuously analyzes
1000s of articles per day to find divergences
between the Fed and the market and generates
trading alerts and policy forecasts with real-time
confidence scores.

10Ks, 10Qs, company presentations, and reports so you can focus on making decisions with data,

cant time to assess geographically acute events that meaning-
fully impact certain companies.

for specific companies, enabling you to rapidly analyze the po-
tential impacts of geographically confined events on company
operations.
