Point-in-Time Support

The Exabel platform has native support for point-in-time data. For every time series in Exabel, it is possible to retrieve that time series as it was available at a particular point-in-time (based on its "known time").

This is critical to avoid look-ahead bias when evaluating a time series dataset through backtests, applying a dataset towards predicting company fundamentals, or simulating portfolio strategies. Under these scenarios, it is important to use only data that would have been available at that point-in-time, when making a prediction or portfolio allocation on a historical date.
