Top 25 public tickers mapped to consumer-facing brands at the entity level. Geographic decomposition by metro. Price moves often visible 30–60 days before earnings releases.

Inflation index decomposition by chain and region, derived from a real underlying menu corpus. Often lands 2–4 weeks before BLS publishes the official CPI subseries.

Methodology + cleanliness audit

Documented sourcing, sampling methodology, and per-source freshness audits. Versioned per release. Sent under a soft NDA on every contract — the artifact alt-data buy-side teams need to clear diligence.
