General
What is Given Analytics?
Given Analytics is an independent educational macro and market research publisher. We run quantitative analysis on global markets and economic data and publish how our rules-based framework classifies the environment and detects predefined mathematical conditions — so serious investors can build their own process on a clearer, more objective foundation. We publish through Atlas Terminal, a research platform that monitors 407 symbols and classifies environments into four data-driven states.
Are you a registered investment adviser?
No. Given Analytics is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or financial planner. We operate as an educational publisher under the publisher posture of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Our content is general, impersonal, and distributed on a regular schedule to all subscribers simultaneously. We never provide personalized advice, never manage capital, and never see client portfolios.
Do you trade or manage money?
No. Given Analytics does not trade securities for clients, manage client capital, or operate any model portfolio. Our business is publishing educational macro and market research and related analytical tools.
Who sees outputs first?
Everyone sees the same information at the same time. There are no early-access tiers, no private feeds, and no preferential distribution. All subscribers receive environment views, alerts, and briefs simultaneously.
Can I automate trades off your alerts?
This is not recommended and is inconsistent with our Terms of Service. Atlas alerts are model readings for educational use only — not trade triggers. Using them as automated entry or exit criteria turns an educational model output into an operational trading instruction, which is outside our intended use and your agreement with us.
Methodology
How often do alerts and environment readings update?
The environment engine runs on a schedule tied to the latest available economic and market data. Some inputs update daily, others weekly or monthly, depending on their source. Market-based tiles (for example, volatility indices and yield-curve measures) update during the trading day. Condition readings for individual symbols update on a regular cadence defined by the framework, typically using end-of-day data.
What happens when data is revised?
Government and market data are routinely revised after initial release. When a source revises data retroactively, our historical readings can change as well. We do not lock historical readings; we update them to reflect the most accurate data available. This means past environment labels and model outputs may change as source data is revised.
How do you avoid overfitting?
The framework is designed to be robust across multiple market cycles, not optimized to any single recent period. We evaluate behavior across diverse historical episodes and regimes. However, all quantitative models carry overfitting risk. We acknowledge this and do not claim immunity from it.
Can I see your code or exact parameters?
No. The specific parameters, weights, lookback windows, thresholds, and mathematical transformations of the Atlas framework are proprietary intellectual property. We explain the structure and philosophy in detail on our Methodology and How Atlas Works pages. If questions remain after reading those, the answer is that exact implementation details are proprietary.
How do you handle conflicts between layers?
When the conditions required by the framework do not all align, no alert fires. For example, if several inputs are aligned but one is not, the symbol is monitored but does not generate a primary condition. This is intentional — it reduces false positives at the cost of fewer alerts, which we consider appropriate for an educational tool.
What is a "silence" condition?
“Silence” refers to periods when no symbols in our 407-symbol universe meet the predefined threshold for a condition under the framework. Silence is itself information: it can coincide with certain kinds of market environments. We surface it explicitly rather than forcing alerts when the model does not support them.
Usage
How should I use Atlas?
Atlas is designed as an educational overlay on top of your existing process. It helps you understand how the framework classifies the environment, see where predefined mathematical conditions are appearing, and compare current readings to historical episodes. It is not a standalone trading system and should not be used as the sole basis for any investment decision.
I’m an RIA — how do my clients benefit?
RIAs and portfolio managers use Atlas as a structured way to frame macro and market context. Environment classifications, confirmation metrics, and other readings provide a disciplined vocabulary for discussing backdrop and risk — one that does not depend on ad hoc opinions or narratives. All content is general and impersonal, consistent with educational use by professionals.
Do you offer personalized advice or custom research?
No. All Atlas content is general, impersonal, and identical for every subscriber. We do not offer personalized research, custom condition sets, or individualized recommendations. If you need personalized investment advice, consult a registered investment adviser.
Pricing and Access
What does Given Analytics cost?
Right now — nothing. We're in our founding period: the first 500 founding members get full access to Atlas Terminal, all 407-symbol condition views, the daily Morning Brief, and the daily video, completely free. No credit card. Email verification only.
Why is it free right now?
Because the strongest introduction to a rules-based framework isn't a description of it — it's watching it run, live, every market day. Founding members get the full terminal, the Morning Brief, and the daily video free during the founding period so they can see exactly how a systematic process reads the market before deciding whether it belongs in theirs. When founding access closes, Given Analytics becomes a paid subscription — and founding members keep the rate described below.
What happens when the founding period ends?
Given Analytics becomes a paid subscription at $97/month. Founding members get first right to lock in $47/month for life — the lowest rate we will ever offer — for as long as their subscription remains active. If a founding member cancels a paid subscription, the founding rate is permanently forfeited; rejoining is at the standard rate.
What's included?
Everything. Live environment readings and confirmation metrics, all 407-symbol condition views, the daily Morning Brief, the daily video, alert delivery through supported channels, and all future features added to the platform. No upsells. No tiers. One price, everything included.
Is there a free trial?
There's something better right now: founding access is simply free — no card, no trial clock, nothing that converts or charges. When paid plans begin, founding members will be invited to lock in their rate before doors open at standard pricing.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Free founding members can leave at any time. Once paid plans begin, subscriptions can be cancelled anytime from your account settings, effective at the end of the current billing period. Note: cancelling a paid founding subscription permanently forfeits the founding rate.
Do institutions get different data or earlier access?
No. All subscribers — individual investors, RIAs, family offices, and institutions — see the same data at the same time. There are no institutional tiers with different outputs or earlier access. This is a deliberate design choice: same framework, same timing, same information set.
