Featured Project

Equity Research Desk

The Equity Research Desk aims to do in real time what an analyst does manually: take a single company, fix its industry scope, and build a full eleven-section industry register — sizing, segmentation, competitive landscape, Porter's, value chain and closing view — with each section informed by the ones before it.

This is the working prototype of that idea, running on a basic model without live data; the full build grounds every number in filings and primary sources. If you're a recruiter, or you'd like to see the full working desk, write to me at cadevanshsingla@gmail.com.
