The data layer
Everything the models need, sourced in-product
A unified market-data layer with caching and a configurable provider abstraction feeds comparables, betas, multiples, volatilities, and macro inputs into the engine.
Comparable companies
Company profile, ticker, exchange, sector / industry / GICS, geography, year founded, status, full business description, and SEC filing links — all pulled live.
Equity metrics
Market cap, 5-year levered beta, equity volatility, and asset volatility — feeding the WACC build and the option-pricing models directly.
Valuation metrics
TEV/BEV, MVIC, and LFY/LTM/NFY revenue & EBITDA multiples computed per comparable for the GPC and GTM analyses.
Macro data
Risk-free-rate curves, country-risk premia, and equity-risk premia — cached and term-matched to each engagement's time horizon.
Native volatility flow
Pull peer equity volatilities, weight them, and apply them to the subject company for the backsolve and OPM workflows — without leaving the platform.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the platform's market data come from?
The platform integrates directly with S&P Capital IQ as the primary institutional source, supplemented by Yahoo Finance and Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) through a unified market-data layer. This covers comparable companies, betas, multiples, equity and asset volatilities, and macro data such as risk-free rates and country-risk premia.
Do analysts still pull comparables by hand?
No. The in-product Capital IQ Explorer lets analysts search, filter, and select comparables by industry/GICS, market cap, growth rate, margin profile, geography, and debt/equity without leaving the platform. All raw comparable data is exportable to Excel for reviewer scrutiny — but it's never re-keyed from a screenshot.
How is equity volatility sourced for the backsolve and OPM?
Through a native Capital IQ volatility flow: the platform pulls peer equity volatilities, weights them, and applies the result to the subject company for the OPM Backsolve and OPM allocation workflows. Analysts can also supply a custom volatility override.
Is the data cached?
Yes. A Redis caching layer sits in front of the market-data and macro-data providers, both for performance and to bound external-vendor cost — while keeping the inputs reproducible for a given engagement.
