Signals
Contributing signals to the Palanor catalog
How researchers author signals into the global lattice — submission, review, byline credit, and what gets approved.
Power and the grid: demand, queues and retirements
The signals that follow electricity for the AI build-out: demand by grid region, what is waiting to connect, large loads in Texas, and the plants due to retire.
Company risk events and bank Call Reports
Recalls, EPA enforcement cases, OSHA inspections, Wage and Hour cases and CFPB complaint spikes on company pages, in the screener and as alerts; national series per source; and bank health by size from every bank's Call Report.
Night lights from space
How brightly each country is lit at night, every month since 2012, from NASA's Black Marble satellite record: blackouts, war, disasters and electrification, country by country and by region.
Official sanctions lists: U.S., UK and EU
Palanor counts of the U.S. Treasury (OFAC), UK and EU sanctions lists, read every day: entries listed and added per month on each list, entries by programme, and entries linked to each country.
Net migration by country
People moving into each country minus people leaving it, every year from 1960 to 2023, and the same per 1,000 residents, from the World Bank (UN World Population Prospects).
Satellite NO2 and clinical trials
Fuel burning seen from space, country by country and across China's provinces, and the drug pipeline from ClinicalTrials.gov: new trials, AI studies, trials stopped early, and each company's pipeline.
Passport reach and citizenship by investment
What each of 199 passports opens, to visit, to work and to live, as a share of world GDP, from each destination government's own published rules; and the programs that grant citizenship or residence for a set investment, with government prices and official counts.
Country Schemas
Where each of 71 countries sits in eight long cycles: development, demographics, debt, the balance of payments, exports, structural pressure, the middle class and the electoral calendar. Stages describe; they never rank.
Company Posture
What an S&P 500 company is doing, read from its own filings: expanding or retrenching, confident or hedging, and how much pressure it is under. Shown as a score only where a pre-registered back-test earned it.
Presidential approval average
A daily average of published national polls of presidential job approval, overall and on the economy and inflation, with a band on every reading. The same method for every president; not a forecast.
Trademarks and federal contract opportunities
What companies are getting ready to sell (U.S. trademark applications) and what the federal government is getting ready to buy (SAM.gov solicitations), by month, with the companies behind them on entity pages.
Where leaders and founders went to school
The universities behind the CEOs, executive officers and directors of America's largest public companies, read from their proxy statements, and the founders behind Form D raises with a known alma mater. University and person pages, a Screener filter and signals over time.
IMF World Economic Outlook projections
The IMF's history and projections for every economy and IMF group: growth, inflation, unemployment, GDP, debt, budget balances and the net interest governments pay, with how each edition revised its forecasts.
