Making findings earn their claims
Register the hypothesis before the data, try hard to break the result, and publish the misses as clearly as the hits.
Explainable over black-box
Models that can justify each decision, so they survive an audit, not just a backtest.
Spotting ideas before they break out
Forecasting which research directions are about to accelerate, and being wrong on the record when they do not.
Counting every bet, not just the winner
Treating a whole line of research as one multiple-testing problem, so a result that only got lucky across many tries can't pass itself off as a discovery.

FACET
🔒 PrivateFactor & Archetype Classification of Equity Traits — a research-grade equity signal-profile framework. Point-in-time data model, six-dimension profiles & archetypes, a weak-signal radar with pre-registered playbooks, event-study backtesting and a self-monitoring alert loop. FastAPI · DuckDB · React.

🔒 PrivateHeuristic Observatory for Research Innovation, Zeitgeist & Onset Nowcasting — a weak-signal emerging-tech foresight platform. It operationalizes a five-dimension weak-signal framework on public arXiv data and tests, out-of-sample, whether a research topic’s emergence onset front-runs its later citation burst — reported as honest, reproducible lead-time evidence, never a crystal ball.

🔒 PrivatePre-registered Apparatus for Research-to-Asset Linkage — the shared evidence spine beneath FACET and HORIZON, deliberately not a third product. One certification gate, one cross-platform trial registry re-adjudicated to a single honest hurdle, and a data bridge from the research frontier to listed firms. Python · DuckDB · a static control room.

🔒 PrivateCorporate distress detection from SEC EDGAR filings — a research pilot. A two-stage daily pipeline (metadata triggers first, text triage only for what survives) whose single operating point was pre-registered and validated out-of-sample, and is reported with its measured false-alarm rate rather than a headline hit rate. Alongside it, a weekly blind-spot sweep for firms that simply stop filing — the outcome that outnumbered labelled bankruptcy 7.6:1 — and a registered prospective cohort whose result is not yet known to anyone, including its author. Python · SEC EDGAR.
