Who it's for
Trading platforms and brokers
Offer your clients AI signals, event research and model tools under your brand, including scanner columns and chart overlays plus AI-assistant integrations, all delivered through our API and MCP. We host the tools. You keep the client relationship and execution.
Institutions and data teams
License daily long and short scores by API, Snowflake or file delivery. The models train on point-in-time data back to 1999.
Advisors, fund managers and prop firms
License a production strategy, or have our quants build and run a model to your mandate. Your firm makes every investment decision.
Trading your own account? See SparkTrade for active traders.

SparkTrade research inside your AI assistant
Our MCP servers connect Claude, ChatGPT and your own agents to SparkTrade. Ask about today's AI signals, Event Pressure findings and market conditions in plain language, and get answers using our latest data.
- Which stocks have the strongest long scores today?
- Which companies are most exposed to changes in Fed odds?
- What's driving sentiment around AMD this week?
Built to be checked
Our clients put these models in front of their own customers, committees and compliance teams. Every score has to hold up when someone asks why.
Fixed factor directions
Each input is set to push a score in one direction only, so a score's drivers are easier to trace.
Point-in-time data
Models train on what was known on each date, with controls for survivorship bias and look-ahead leakage.
Tested on unseen periods
Models are judged on periods they never trained on, after costs and slippage.
Dated and versioned
Every score carries the date it applies to and the model version that produced it.
Statistical models, not chatbots
Signals come from models trained on market data. Where a language model drafts event research, each finding is checked against its sources.
We never place trades
Brokerage connections are read-only. Partners and their clients make every decision.
