Oil News Index F6 and Equity News Index

What is moving the oil price today, and what is the press saying about Nvidia? Two LLM-based news reads, run daily at scale, that explain — to an extent — the price moves from the news flow: OIL-F6 for crude, EQ-S10 for nine Nasdaq-100 names.

  • The oil press and the press of sixteen Nasdaq-100 names, read at scale by language models
  • Fixed questions answered on every article, no price language
  • Aggregated into daily, explainable indexes with their own hit rates

Approach

Agent-first software engineering

We build the way software is built in 2026: experienced engineers directing fleets of AI agents, on architectures made to be driven — and verified — by them.

Humans direct, agents execute

Senior engineering judgment sets the architecture and reviews the result. AI coding agents do much of the building, in parallel.

Simple, uniform, testable

When AI writes much of the code, the design has to be plain and relentlessly verifiable. Determinism and tests are part of the architecture.

Weeks become days

Short paths from idea to production: small senior teams, assembled per project, shipping what used to need a department.
