Research & R&D
Applied social science,
built as software.
A trade shock raises questions about costs and supply chains. A political crisis raises questions about exposure. Our research develops the datasets and analytical methods needed to investigate those relationships.
This is our research program, not a list of features included in every plan. Maturity, source coverage, and product availability vary by capability.
The research
The method shapes the answer.
A trade model examines relationships between economies and sectors. A crisis dataset puts an event in historical context. A company exposure model connects a development to the business affected by it. These methods address different questions; choosing the right one is part of the research.
Our programs span historical behavior datasets, crisis analysis, trade simulations, and corporate exposure. The work includes curating records, defining comparable measures, evaluating models, and documenting assumptions. Source records and limitations matter as much as the resulting estimate.
Behind the assessment
Context you can examine, not just a result to accept.
Historical context
Long-run datasets help place a development alongside earlier episodes, with differences and data limits in view.
Defined measures
Structured coding makes the categories and judgments behind a dataset available for examination.
Source records
Provenance and documented transformations help explain where an input came from and how it was used.
Public lab
Follow a research thesis into a paper portfolio.
The Hodag Global Macro Paper Fund is fictional and paper-only. It documents research theses, rule-checked paper trades, and a public ledger. It is an illustration of the research process, not a client track record or evidence of investment returns.
From research to recurring work
Research becomes more valuable when it can run inside the workflow.
A recurring question needs a consistent research process. Reusable datasets and methods give teams a basis for examining what has changed, rather than rebuilding the analysis from the beginning.
Where a capability is available for integration, enterprise work defines its inputs, outputs, update schedule, and delivery requirements. We agree the research scope and limitations before incorporating it into your workflow.

Where we work
Research around the forces that change exposure.
We develop reusable source datasets and analytical methods across these domains. Ask which capabilities are ready for your question and which remain in development.

Bring a question about a market, policy change, or business exposure. We can review relevant methods, available outputs, and what the evidence can support.
