Research Areas
Selected domains of ongoing work across market interpretation, event classification, and probabilistic signal construction.
Catalyst and Event Intelligence
Detection and classification of event variables driving short-horizon repricing in public equities, with explicit separation of headline magnitude from estimated business impact.
- 01event detection across regulatory filings, primary disclosures, and curated secondary sources
- 02catalyst classification by structural type and historical materiality distribution
- 03materiality assessment independent of headline sentiment
- 04source recency and timestamp sensitivity
- 05factual consistency reconciliation across publishers
Narrative Dislocation
Formalisation of the divergence between aggregate crowd interpretation and reconciled material content of an event, treated as a friction parameter rather than a directional opinion.
- 01estimation of crowd posterior over event relevance
- 02reconciled posterior under multi-source weighting
- 03separation of sentiment from materiality
- 04identification of stale narratives under low refresh rate
- 05information asymmetry without claims of inside information
Signal Classification
BUY, SELL, or HOLD as the output of a constrained classification procedure, jointly with confidence, horizon, and an invalidation surface.
- 01discrete classification output with explicit confidence
- 02horizon selected from a ladder calibrated to catalyst class
- 03risk asymmetry quantification across BUY / SELL / HOLD
- 04invalidation logic as a precondition for publication
- 05downgrading to commentary when invalidation cannot be constructed
Market Microstructure and Reaction Quality
Short-horizon reaction dynamics, liquidity replenishment, and flow attribution as inputs to confidence — not as standalone directional inputs.
- 01reaction timing relative to event window
- 02liquidity regime classification
- 03volume confirmation and flow attribution
- 04transient versus durable impact decomposition
- 05volatility response and surface deformation
Source Reconciliation
Construction of a consistency graph over source claims with edge weights determined by publisher reliability, timestamp proximity, and structural independence of derivation.
- 01evidence weighting under multi-source disagreement
- 02publisher quality and historical reliability priors
- 03citation graph reconstruction to penalise derivative aggregation
- 04timestamp sensitivity in fast-moving event windows
- 05explicit reporting of source confidence separately from signal confidence
Model Governance
Constraints, audit surfaces, and limitations on machine-assisted interpretation. Includes drift monitoring, backtest discipline, and explicit non-guarantee statements on forward performance.
- 01explicit enumeration of model limitations
- 02uncertainty reporting alongside every classification
- 03drift monitoring on synthesis components
- 04backtest discipline with no claims of forward guarantee
- 05documented invalidation of methodology when reconciliation fails
