Emergent risk observatory

Turn unknown unknowns into tradable factors.

ARKA identifies hard-to-detect emergent market themes, quantifies them, and constructs institutional-grade equity factors before they become mainstream.

Multimodal evidence layer

Every signal. One graph.

Structured and unstructured evidence is normalized through symbology mapping into an entity graph—the common substrate for emergent factor discovery.

Six data sources converging into the ARKA factor engineSources grouped by structured, unstructured, and alternative data flow through symbology mapping to an entity graph and factor engine.STRUCTUREDUNSTRUCTUREDALTERNATIVEMarket DataReal-time · Structured DataFundamentalsDaily · Structured DataSEC FilingsAs filed · Unstructured DataNews & SentimentReal-time · Unstructured DataAcademic ResearchDaily · Unstructured DataPatent DataWeekly · Alternative DataSYMBOLOGYMAPPINGENTITYGRAPHFACTOR ENGINE13 AI AGENTS

Controlled factor construction

From signal to portfolio-ready factor.

Eleven steps move from discovery to delivery. Humans choose the thesis, review the execution graph, and authorize every run.

01
AI agentDiscovery

Scan Emerging Signals

AI agents monitor policy documents, news, filings, patents, and research in real-time. They cluster emerging risk signals before consensus.

02
AI agentDiscovery

Recommend Themes

Ranked theme candidates arrive with evidence dossiers based on novelty, momentum, breadth, and economic impact.

03
You decideDiscovery · branch

Select a Recommended Theme

Inspect a surfaced theme and its evidence dossier, then select the prepared specification.

OR

Define Custom Factor via Prompt

Describe a thesis in natural language and construct the specification from scratch.

04
AI agentResearch & design

Perform Literature Review

Automated academic and industry research is synthesized into a mathematical framework for factor construction.

05
AI agentResearch & design

Generate Pseudocode

The framework becomes an executable directed acyclic graph of operations, inputs, outputs, and dependencies.

06
You decideResearch & design

Review & Edit Pseudocode

You inspect and edit the plan before committing: add sources, adjust weights, or remove operations.

07
You decideExecution

Initiate Execution

Nothing executes without explicit human approval. Choose thinking mode and confirm the run.

08
AI agentExecution

Orchestrate Millions of LLM Calls

13 specialized agents execute concurrently with dependency tracking, checkpoints, and retry logic.

09
AI agentExecution

Generate Factor

Security-level scores, historical weights, category breakdowns, and a full benchmark backtest are generated.

ARKA QAReview & delivery

Internal Review by ARKA

Trust Score validation covers decomposition, bootstrap significance, concentration, liquidity, and knockout scenarios.

Factor Ready for User

Historical weights, full backtest, risk decomposition, model card, hedge recommendations, and integration-ready output.

Validated and explainable

Built for risk committees.

Every factor ships with lineage, decomposition, access control, and statistical validation in a reviewable model card.

Model Cards & Explainability

Every factor comes with documentation for risk committees and regulators

02

Full Audit Trails

Complete lineage from data source to portfolio action

03

Trust Score Validation

Five-component quality gate across performance, orthogonality, concentration, stability, and liquidity

04

Factor Decomposition & Risk Attribution

Multi-model attribution isolates genuine alpha from style, market, and sector exposure

05

Role-Based Access Control

Granular permissions for PMs, risk managers, quants, and compliance

06

Bootstrap Significance

Statistical testing with 95% confidence intervals and p-values

Institutional coverage

Built for institutions that manage risk at scale.

ARKA adds an emergent-risk layer to the systems institutions already trust.
