Deliverables

Signals you can test and trust

Company signals

Product prices and discounts, hiring volume, new products, store openings and review trends for each company you cover.

Point-in-time history

Every value is stored with the time we observed it, so your backtests only see what was known at the time.

Clean, documented fields

Consistent company identifiers, a data dictionary and notes on any gaps or source changes.

Who it’s for

What teams do with it

Hedge funds and analysts

Spot changes in pricing, hiring or product activity ahead of reported results.

Private equity and due diligence

Check a target’s footprint, pricing and customer sentiment with independent data.

Research firms

Build indexes and reports on sectors from consistent web data.

How it works

From your brief to a delivered dataset

  1. Share companies and signals

    Tell us the companies or sector and the signals you want. We confirm which sources are reliable and flag any concerns.

  2. Review a free sample

    Check real data for your companies, with documentation, before you commit.

  3. Get data on schedule

    Daily, weekly or monthly, in CSV, Excel, Google Sheets or via API. Scrapers are maintained when sites change.

Accuracy

Data you can put in front of an investment committee

Gaps and silent changes ruin backtests. We timestamp every value, never fill gaps with guesses, log when a source changes its layout or coverage, and keep the source link on every record.

How we collect data ↗

Common questions

What kind of data do you collect?

Only publicly available web data, such as prices, job postings, product pages, store locators and reviews. We don’t collect anything behind a login or any non-public information.

Can you provide historical data?

We collect from the date your project starts. Some sources show past data, such as review dates, which we can include where available.

How do you handle a source changing its website?

We repair the scraper, mark the affected period in the data and tell you, so a change in the site is never mistaken for a change in the company.

Can you deliver to our data warehouse?

Yes, as files on a schedule, via API, or straight into your cloud storage or warehouse.
