Nowcasting Engine for Immediate Growth Signals

Our nowcasting engine blends mixed-frequency indicators, feature selection, and expert validation to produce same-week growth estimates, surfacing inflection points before official releases and enabling faster allocation, pricing, and operational decisions across markets, supply chains, and corporate planning workflows that demand timely, defensible, and repeatable insights.

Unified Data Ingestion Pipeline

We automate secure ingestion from payments, mobility, energy use, job postings, manufacturing trackers, and sentiment sources, harmonizing disparate cadences and taxonomies into a clean, versioned layer. Adaptive normalization handles outliers, calendar effects, and structural breaks, ensuring each indicator’s signal remains stable and interpretable during volatile periods and regime shifts.

Bayesian Mixed-Frequency Modeling

Our Bayesian mixed-frequency framework combines daily and weekly indicators with monthly and quarterly benchmarks, allowing measurement error and publication lags to be coherently modeled. Shrinkage priors stabilize estimates in sparse conditions, while hierarchical structures transfer strength across sectors and regions, improving precision without sacrificing interpretability or traceability.

Backtesting, Stability, and Accuracy Metrics

We publish rolling backtests with vintage data, measuring real-time accuracy using mean absolute error, turning-point precision, and revision size. Stability screens penalize fragile signals, and diagnostic plots detail indicator contributions, variance decomposition, and sensitivity, so stakeholders can trust both headline estimates and the pathways that produce them.
