Turn global news data into signals your team can act on. Before the market does.
Most investment and risk teams are already watching the news that would change their decisions. The problem isn’t access. It’s the gap between when a story breaks and when it reaches your workflow.
This guide shows you how to close that gap, without a quant infrastructure rebuild.
– WHAT'S INSIDE
A practical framework, not a product pitch
01
The Decision Gap Framework
Why investment and risk teams miss market-moving news that’s already public — and how coverage, structure, and workflow each contribute to the gap.
02
Trading, Risk & Portfolio Use Cases
Concrete examples across algo trading, equity, crypto, and risk monitoring. Including the 600K vs 3M+ coverage comparison and the 4–7 minute delivery benchmark.
03
Five Diagnostic Questions
Score your current setup across coverage, speed, structure, signal-to-noise, and routing. Find out whether you’re at the Consumption, Monitoring, or Intelligence stage.
04
A Step-by-Step Implementation Path
How to define your signal perimeter, evaluate delivery claims, choose the right enrichments (FIGI, LEI, IPTC), and build routing logic before your feed goes live.
05
Three KPIs That Actually Tell You If It’s Working
Decision gap reduction, analyst time ratio, and signal recall — with a simple baseline method you can run in under an hour before you start.

The Decision Gap Scorecard
A printable one-page diagnostic tool. Five questions. 15-point scale. Three maturity tiers. Designed for team meetings and vendor evaluations.
– WHY IT MATTERS
The gap between public information and your workflow is larger than you think
A development affecting your portfolio breaks in a regional outlet. It appears in an English-language wire service four days later. Your team sees it on day six. That lag — between when the information is public and when it reaches your workflow — is your decision gap.
For most investment and risk teams, the gap is structural, not accidental. And it’s fixable.
Coverage before the market catches up
Most market-moving stories break first in regional or non-English outlets. By the time they reach major wire services, the window to act has often already closed.
Structure that connects to your systems
Entity resolution with FIGI, LEI, and PermID identifiers means news connects to your holdings automatically — no manual matching, no missed aliases.
Signals, not streams
IPTC topic classification across 1,000+ categories and deduplication means your team receives one alert per event, not 40 variants of the same headline.

News intelligence for investment teams is the practice of turning structured, real-time news data into signals that reach your workflow before the market does. This guide — From Headlines to Decisions — provides a practical framework for investment and risk teams who want to close the decision gap between when a story breaks publicly and when it reaches their decisions.
Most teams already have access to the news that would change their decisions. The problem is structural: coverage that stops at English-language sources, delivery that arrives too late, data that isn’t enriched, and no defined routing for when a signal arrives. This guide to news intelligence for investment teams addresses all four dimensions — with a five-question scorecard you can use immediately to assess where your current setup falls short.
