Understand
Targeted news digests on the narratives you care about, built with One Pulse.
Act
See when a narrative that moves markets enters a new regime.
Communicate
Portfolio Pulse provides customized narrative analytics for your portfolio in a form you can share with clients or your committee.
Virality and Regime
Two readings on every narrative.
Every narrative Parallax tracks gets two daily readings: what is happening today, and whether the ground has moved. Together they separate a loud day from a real change, so you know when to act on a story and when to let it pass.
Virality
What is happening right now?
1,029
Quiet
Nothing unusual. The default when no other state applies.
146
Burst
Attention spiked today.
18
Sustained Effort
Two weeks on, the attention held up on its own. The story is being kept alive.
Most bursts end there. Each step has to earn the next.
Regime
Has the ground moved?
420
Calm
Nothing is building. Where most narratives sit.
30
Building
Evidence is collecting. The watch state, before any alarm.
34
Possible
A regime change may be under way, and it has a direction.
119
Confirmed
The evidence has doubled. The regime has changed.
382
Tail
Nothing is building now, but a change happened here recently.
144
Unstable
Shifts in both directions at once. The narrative is whipsawing.
No single day can raise an alarm. Only unusual days add evidence, and ordinary days drain it away.
What you get: a read you can act on and explain, whether a story is a one-day event, a push that is holding, or a change that has settled in. States describe the story, not whether it is good or bad news.
Portfolio Pulse
See what the narratives mean for a real portfolio.
Portfolio Pulse provides factor, sector and narrative analytics on your actual portfolio’s over- and under-weights and specific holdings, and tells you which stories matter, why, and what to read to understand the forces driving performance. Its output can be customized for internal use or with clients or an investment committee.

Watch
Two short videos
The first is a tour of the product: where the readings live, what each one is telling you, and what changes about your morning once you have them. The second shows the same readings being used on a real position.
Watch the walkthrough
