Changelog

🎉 We have released the People Data Labs Insights Platform!

We have released a Visible Alpha integration, allowing users to retrieve and use Visible Alpha's historical and forecast consensus data on KPI, segment and financial metrics for over 6,000 publicly-traded companies across more than 150 industries.

A new design system with cleaner and more consistent colors and user interface; new external APIs for library and user management; revamped drill-downs.

🎉 We have released Gridwise Analytics for Investors!

Re-designed landing pages for easy access to partner subscriptions and data; point-in-time support for prediction models; new external APIs for analytics and management features; and improved export/download of charts and data.

Point-in-time support allows you to avoid look-ahead bias in your alternative data analysis workflows. We have now rolled out beta point-in-time support to Prediction Models, which use machine learning techniques to help forecast company- or macro-level KPIs based on a set of input signals.

The new Data Explorer for browsing and searching raw signals; improved data and chart exports from Signal Explorer; SDK functionality for entity and relationship properties. Deprecation of peers/suppliers/customers functionality.

We have observed our users taking advantage of the flexibility of our signal DSL to create ever more advanced DSL expressions to transform their data. A common pain point is that when creating complicated DSL expressions, they are difficult to read and edit. To address this, we have added syntax highlighting and bracket-pair colouring to the signal expression editor in Signal Explorer.

Point-in-time support for Alpha Tests and Portfolio Strategies; a new model option (LightGBM) for Prediction Models; easier exports of full historical allocations and a new option to constrain benchmark deviations for Portfolio Strategies; and many improvements and fixes.

Point-in-time support allows you to avoid look-ahead bias in your alternative data analysis workflows. We have now rolled out beta point-in-time support to Alpha Tests and Portfolio Strategies, our workhorse quant tools to backtest signals for alpha potential and risk.
