Strategy #0000000102 · Alternative data and fundamental signals
Crowdsourced opinion data
Enter rating change, review count, minimum sample size, assumed basket returns and costs.
Employee reviews and consumer ratings offer views beyond conventional filings. Rating changes may relate to turnover, product quality or future revenue, but self-selection, platform rules, bots, sample size and company size create biases. The simulator uses a review-count threshold to switch an assumed long-short spread on or off; ratings are not treated as return forecasts.
No review platform or company data is connected; selection bias, privacy, platform terms and data rights remain material.

Understand the story. Then inspect the risk.
Start with a familiar situation, check the payoff, then test how the numbers change.

The mechanics · payoff and exposure
Signal=I(N\geq N_{min}),\quad Spread=Signal\cdot(R_{high}-R_{control})-C
N is the review count and rating change is descriptive; high/control basket returns are scenario assumptions.

Crowdsourced opinion data: read the record with its caveats.
The chart uses the published figures or explicitly labelled study inputs below. A historical index or model replay is not the same as an investor’s realised account return.

| Related strategy | Relationship | What changes | New cost or risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base scenario | Manual inputs | Employee reviews and consumer ratings offer views beyond conventional filings. Rating changes may relate to turnover, product quality or future revenue, but self-selection, platform rules, bots, sample size and company size create biases. The simulator uses a review-count threshold to switch an assumed long-short spread on or off; ratings are not treated as return forecasts. | No review platform or company data is connected; selection bias, privacy, platform terms and data rights remain material. |
| Conservative version | Lower exposure | Reduce exposure and raise sample thresholds. | May narrow strategy coverage. |
| Validation version | Out-of-sample review | Freeze signal definitions before time-ordered evaluation. | Needs more clean data and governance. |
