Data infrastructure built for the institutional buy side
DataStrat is the data module of the ForeStrat platform, deployed in your cloud. Vendor and customizable alt data ingested, quality-checked and kept point-in-time, keyed to the Reference Data golden record. Trial a new dataset before you buy it.
Comprehensive data engineering for research and alpha
DataStrat deploys in your cloud with pre-built connectors, automated quality gates and point-in-time lineage, on the same engine as every other ForeStrat module. Your team gets reliable vendor and alt data without managing vendor APIs or a FrankenStack of scripts.
Ingestion
- Pre-built connectors to hundreds of financial data vendors
- Resilient pipelines for high-frequency and alt data
- Domain Quality Checks before data hits downstream stores
- Trial a new dataset before you buy it
Transformation
- Plug proprietary analytics and alpha features on top
- Custom code stays sandboxed on your infrastructure
Linking
- Custom instrument matching across vendor reference feeds
- Keyed to the Reference Data point-in-time security master
Data Quality & exception routing
- Finance-native rules for corporate actions, rolls, and curves
- Exceptions routed straight to operations
AI-ready data platform
- Ontologies, entity graphs, and point-in-time as-of datasets
- Delta-on-write lineage without lookahead bias
- Versioning and schema evolution without rebuilds
FinSight
- Filings, research, PDFs, and web → ontology-mapped datasets
- Self-service ideation through optional human review
The data engineering lifecycle
From raw vendor feed to research-ready datasets. We design, deploy, and verify every step of the pipeline.
Source & Audit
Audit current data spend and identify optimal sources. We assist in feed selection and structure vendor contracts for compliance.
Ingest Design
Establish secure links via API, SFTP, or direct streaming. Deploy robust retry frameworks and enforce point-in-time integrity.
Normalize & Master
Map every identifier (ISIN, CUSIP, FIGI) to the Reference Data golden record, point-in-time and backfilled. Apply adaptive parsers to structure PDF or text filings.
Serve & Analyze
Deliver clean, structured tables directly to your research stack. Your proprietary scripts hook in cleanly on top of our database builds.
