Alternative data intelligence for financial decision-makers

Financial Services

Retail investor sentiment, alternative data signals, M&A due diligence, and market trend intelligence. Our analysis covers 20 years of consumer and investor discussions, giving you insights that traditional data providers miss.

The Problem

Why do most approaches fall short?

Financial intelligence is dominated by expensive terminals and recycled data feeds. Bloomberg and Refinitiv give everyone the same numbers. Alternative data providers charge six figures for signals that go stale fast. Meanwhile, the most valuable intelligence: what consumers and retail investors actually think, sits fragmented across 30+ verified data sources that nobody aggregates properly.

Our Approach

How do we solve it differently?

We combine 20 years of consumer and investor discussion data with SEC filings, patent analysis, hiring signals, and market trend detection. Our reports surface retail sentiment shifts, competitive disruption signals, consumer brand perception changes, and M&A due diligence findings that traditional financial data providers miss entirely, at a fraction of their cost.

Common Questions

Financial Services FAQ

How does this compare to Bloomberg or Refinitiv?
We don't compete with terminals. We complement them. Bloomberg gives you financial data everyone has. We give you consumer sentiment, brand perception, competitive signals, and alternative data that isn't in any terminal. Many clients use our reports alongside their existing data subscriptions.
How deep is your consumer sentiment data?
Our consumer discussion analysis covers 20 years of investor and consumer conversations with full historical depth. We cross-reference discussion trends against market movements to validate signal quality.
Can you produce reports for M&A due diligence?
This is one of our highest-value applications. We analyze acquisition targets from the consumer perspective: brand perception, customer satisfaction trends, competitive positioning, and hidden risks that financial statements don't reveal. Typically delivered within 48 hours.
Do you cover fintech and crypto companies?
Yes. Fintech and crypto generate enormous amounts of consumer and investor discussion data, making them particularly well-suited for our analysis approach. We track sentiment, adoption signals, competitive positioning, and regulatory risk across the entire fintech landscape.
How much does financial services intelligence cost?
Reports start at $500 for a Quick Scan. Full competitive analysis with SEC filing analysis, consumer sentiment, regulatory tracking, and market positioning runs $2,000-$15,000 depending on scope. Compare that to Bloomberg Terminal ($24,000/year) which gives everyone the same data, or a traditional consulting engagement starting at $50,000.
Do you have access to SEC filing data?
We maintain 143 million SEC EDGAR records including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly filings, 8-K current reports, proxy statements, and insider transaction data. We cross-reference these with consumer sentiment, patent filings, and hiring signals to produce intelligence that financial data alone can't reveal.
