Common Challenges

Language-Based Blind Spots
Investors often miss key events reported only in French or regional publications.

No Portfolio-Linked Monitoring
Tracking news manually across all tickers, sectors, or holdings is inefficient.

Slow Awareness of Disruption Events
Alerts on executive exits, boardroom disputes, union activity, or factory incidents come too late.

Lack of Sentiment Data
Investors lack structured analysis on tone, volume, and source credibility.

Too Much Noise, Too Little Relevance
Financial newsfeeds are cluttered, unranked, and difficult to personalise.
