Worked example — Capital deployment as a leading indicator

The €2.4M push for Defense subsidies

In Q3 2025, our pipeline detected a 300% quarter-over-quarter increase in declared lobbying expenditures by a coalition of European aerospace and defense contractors. This sudden influx of capital preceded the announcement of the European Defence Investment Programme (EDIP) by 4 months, providing a massive informational advantage.

The Developer Experience

Expenditure data is notoriously difficult to parse because firms report in different brackets, different currencies, and on different financial calendars. We normalize it all into EUR and standardize the timeframes.
