Alternative-data revenue nowcasting
Enter activity change, activity-to-revenue sensitivity, consensus growth, surprise threshold and return assumptions.
Card transactions, retail scanner data, web traffic or app usage can provide operating clues before earnings, but coverage, representativeness, privacy, vendor revisions and sample selection affect a nowcast. This tool maps a manually entered activity change through a sensitivity to revenue growth, then applies an explicitly assumed stock response.
No card, scanner, traffic or app data are loaded; coverage and revision biases are not adjusted.
Three ways in
Understand the story. Then inspect the risk.
Start with a familiar situation, check the payoff, then test how the numbers change.
The idea · in two minutes
Does an alternative activity proxy imply revenue growth away from consensus, and what stock response is assumed?

The mechanics · payoff and exposure
RevenueNowcast=ConsensusGrowth+ActivityChange\times Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a teaching input; the result is not company financials, vendor data or a revenue forecast.

|---|---|---|---|
| Base scenario | Manual inputs | Card transactions, retail scanner data, web traffic or app usage can provide operating clues before earnings, but coverage, representativeness, privacy, vendor revisions and sample selection affect a nowcast. This tool maps a manually entered activity change through a sensitivity to revenue growth, then applies an explicitly assumed stock response. | No card, scanner, traffic or app data are loaded; coverage and revision biases are not adjusted. |
| Conservative version | Higher cost/loss | Stress higher costs, larger losses or lower liquidity. | May lower scenario returns. |
| Validation version | Data review | Test model inputs with consistent contracts and timestamps. | Needs licensed, representative data. |
