Alternative data
122 datasets from 155 publishers in more than 50 countries, point-in-time, mapped to stocks and tested for lead.
Alternative data only gives you an edge when it can be trusted, and when you know it leads. ORTEX collects from 155 publishers across more than fifty countries, archives every figure as it first appeared, cleans and normalizes it, maps it to the right stock, and then tests it against each company's reported results, so you know which datasets actually lead. Car registrations, airline traffic, bank books, drug approvals and power output arrive as one consistent dataset.

The questions every fund asks first, answered.
Hundreds of formats reshaped into one, with the same units, periods and naming. Periods still filling in are flagged, not headlined.
Every observation carries the period it describes and the moment it first became public, never the moment it was processed.
Every figure archived as it first appeared. Many publishers overwrite their own history; ORTEX keeps it.
Every company matched through a curated, reviewed cross-reference. An ambiguous name is never guessed.
Every company series tested out of sample against reported results, and marked as a measured lead, no lead, or not yet tested.
Z-scores against a company's own history, percentiles across peers, year-on-year change and trend on every series.
Most alternative data is sold as raw files with the lead left for you to find. ORTEX archives every figure as first published, maps it, and tells you which series actually led a company's results, and by how much.
