Are these off-the-shelf AI agents?
No. The catalog shows the kinds of jobs agents can perform. Each implementation is scoped around the client’s workflow, data, judgment, controls and definition of a good answer.
Managed AI Agents
Altitude scopes, builds, deploys and operates governed AI agents across research, investment, risk, compliance, investor relations, finance and operations. The catalog below shows possible jobs—not products picked off a shelf.
Start with one workflow where proprietary judgment matters and manual work is slowing the desk down. We make the decision rules explicit, define how the output will be judged, build the controlled path into production and keep managing it as data, models and requirements change.
The managed lifecycle
A production agent needs a defined job, evaluation, controlled release and an operator after launch.
Find the workflow where proprietary judgment matters, define the user, outcome, inputs, proof and delivery.
Encode the workflow, connect the approved data and tools, and preserve the decision rules that make it specific to the firm.
Test quality, citations, numerical accuracy, permissions and human-review patterns before production access expands.
Monitor runs, cost, drift and model changes; maintain the workflow and promote, revise or retire it with evidence.
86 examples
Earnings Day Synthesis
Every print fully digested in minutes — your analyst walks into the call with the question that matters, not the one the Street is asking.
How it works
Actual vs. consensus, actual vs. your model, management tone deltas, and the five questions worth asking — the moment a covered name prints.
Multi-Source Signal
Catch the trade idea on X, Reddit or a podcast before it reaches the Street — without anyone scrolling a feed.
How it works
Curated handles, subreddits and podcast feeds surfaced as ranked ideas tied to your universe, deduped against what you've already seen.
Thesis Monitor
Know a thesis is breaking a week early — not at the next monthly review, after the P&L has already moved.
How it works
Every open position graded against its original case, flagging deterioration and where price action has decoupled from the story.
Pre-Call Prep
Walk into every management call with differentiated questions that build your analysts' credibility.
How it works
The questions worth asking — grounded in your model's deltas, not the ones the sell-side is going to ask.
Cross-Border Research
Read the ideas the English-only Street literally can't — information arbitrage in healthcare, autos, semis and industrials.
How it works
Chinese, Japanese, Korean and German sources surfaced in English, with translated excerpts and citations.
Behavioral PM Copilot
Finally see your own patterns — where you exit winners early, hold losers too long, and where conviction actually pays.
How it works
Your firm's years of decisions as a queryable record, reviewed the same disciplined way every quarter.
Morning Brief
Give every analyst their 60–90 minutes of morning scanning back — only what matters to their names.
How it works
Overnight news, watchlist movers, today's macro releases and prior-day attribution — tailored to each seat.
Sell-Side Synthesizer
Stop reading 20 of the 100 broker notes that hit each week — every one digested and indexed by ticker.
How it works
Inbound research indexed as it arrives, consensus-vs-outlier views surfaced, estimate changes highlighted.
Catalyst Calendar
Never get blindsided by a catalyst on a position again.
How it works
A forward calendar — earnings, FDA dates, regulatory hearings, conferences, rebalances, expiries — mapped to the book and cross-tagged to size.
Macro Regime Tracker
Know exactly what macro bet your book is making — before the regime turns against it.
How it works
A continuous read on growth, inflation, rates, credit and the dollar, with the book's implicit exposure stated explicitly.
Thematic Comparison Grid
The cross-company comparison your analyst builds by hand over days — every name answered against your questions, in minutes and kept live.
How it works
One row per company, one column per question you define, every cell cited — re-run as new filings and transcripts land so the grid stays current.
Earnings-Season Theme Tracker
Track the secular themes that move your book across every name — and see who changed their tune since last quarter.
How it works
AI monetization, input-cost inflation, tariffs, pricing power, capex cycles — tracked across the season with phrase-level evidence.
Tariff & Policy Exposure Mapper
The policy overlay a CIO asks for the week a new tariff lands — built bottom-up from what management actually said.
How it works
Each name's policy exposure, mitigation actions and quantified margin impact, rolled up to a book-level overlay.
Company Primer
Initiate on a new name in minutes instead of days — so the time goes to the debate, not the gathering.
How it works
A full initiation primer — business model, unit economics, competitive position, bull/bear debate, risks — grounded in filings, cited on every claim.
Physical-vs-Narrative Divergence
Catch the trade no vendor platform can see — where management's story and the physical world disagree.
How it works
The stated narrative cross-examined against physical signal — customs records, power draw, satellite, foot traffic, hiring — ranked by divergence, both directions.
Supply-Chain Shock Propagation
Map the second- and third-order names before the Street does — when a shock hits, the graph already knows who's exposed.
How it works
A standing supplier→customer graph traversed on any shock — plant fire, export control, bankruptcy, port closure — to surface downstream exposure.
Quiet Capex Radar
See who's actually building before the press release — companies disclose to regulators and counties long before they tell investors.
How it works
Involuntary buildout disclosures aggregated per company — who is genuinely scaling datacenters, fabs and factories vs. narrating it.
Regulation Alpha Miner
Read proposed rules while they're still proposals — and use lobbying spend as management telling you what moves their P&L.
How it works
Proposed rules mapped to winners and losers, overlaid with the lobbying-spend tell most investors ignore.
Variant-Perception Decay Meter
Answer the question every PM asks and nobody instruments — is my edge still an edge?
How it works
Your thesis embedded per position, then measured continuously as it appears in sell-side notes, social and news — early when absent, a trim signal when it's consensus.
Job-Postings-as-Disclosure
Read hiring as forward disclosure — a “Director, Restructuring” posting means trouble months before the income statement shows it.
How it works
Posting content, not just counts: strategy leaks in new roles, division-level attrition spikes, the people closest to the problem leaving first.
13F Cluster Accumulation
When three managers you respect independently buy the same name in the same quarter, that's a real conviction signal — and the 45-day-lag objection is answered on the card.
How it works
Fires when 3+ managers on your curated list initiate or add the same name; the staleness check resolves whether the lag ate the trade.
Insider Cluster Detector
One of the best-documented long signals there is — three insiders buying after a drawdown, with the noise filtered out.
How it works
Fires on 3+ open-market insider buys in 30 days after a drawdown — no 10b5-1 plans — weighted up for CFO buys large vs. their pay.
Overreaction Decomposer
The market reprices the headline in minutes; classifying why takes hours — closed to minutes, while the dislocation is still on the screen.
How it works
Fires on a >12–15% single-print drop and decomposes the miss — timing vs. lost customer, FX vs. demand, one-time vs. structural.
Credit-Knows-First Divergence
When a name's credit and its equity are pricing contradictory futures, trust the credit — it's paid only for downside accuracy.
How it works
Surfaces names where CDS or bond spreads and the equity diverge — deteriorating credit against flat equity, or credit healing first.
Read-Across Lag
When a supplier or foreign-listed partner prints data that mechanically implies a covered name's quarter, catch the not-yet-moved name.
How it works
Computes the implied delta vs. consensus from a related entity's hard data — TSMC monthlies to its customers, a Korea DART JV filing to a US name.
Guidance Sandbagger Screen
The market takes every guide at face value; the issuer's own track record predicts the actual outcome.
How it works
Builds each company's guide-vs-deliver distribution — a serial sandbagger selling off on “disappointing” guidance, an overpromiser guiding aggressively at a peak.
Forced-Seller Flag
When someone sells because they must rather than because they know something, the other side is structurally good.
How it works
Surfaces declines with a nameable, constrained seller — index deletion, a fund liquidating, forced IG→HY selling, lockup expiry — with fundamentals unchanged.
Spin-off Orphan Screen
The most codeable setup there is — mechanical indexer selling into a spinco with no coverage yet, and insiders starting to buy.
How it works
Tracks completed spin-offs into the post-separation window where forced selling meets an insider-buying check.
Abandon-Ship Composite
The people with the most information leave, sell and rewrite contracts long before the income statement shows it — and conjunctions don't happen by accident.
How it works
A short-side screen firing on the rare conjunction: CFO/GC departure + non-plan insider sales + auditor change or comment letter + quietly redefined comp metrics.
Nowcast-vs-Consensus Pre-Print
Five independent demand proxies agreeing two sigma from consensus means consensus is probably wrong — with a dated catalyst attached.
How it works
A composite z-score of demand proxies vs. consensus revenue, firing only when the streams agree and sit beyond two sigma inside four weeks of a print.
Merger-Arb Digital Analyst
A full deal one-pager in minutes instead of hours — consistent quality, grounded break/close odds.
How it works
Spread, premium walk, financing structure, regulatory path and base-rate-informed probabilities on any target/acquirer pair.
10-K Competitor Mapping
The cross-competitor read your analysts want but rarely have time to produce — days of work, in minutes.
How it works
A target 10-K against its named peer set: positioning shifts, language tone deltas, segment-level revenue and margin compares.
Capital Structure & Covenant Tracker
Continuous covenant and maturity visibility on every credit name — replacing tracking done by hand today.
How it works
Covenant cushion, maturity walls, refinance optionality and Chapter 11 docket events across credit and distressed positions.
Sentiment & Tone Drift
Catch the management tone shift the transcript hides — a signal research shows is worth roughly double the lexicon baseline.
How it works
Quarter-over-quarter tone shifts, prepared remarks vs. Q&A, flagged at the phrase level with evidence.
Proprietary vs. Consensus Delta
See exactly where you disagree with the Street, by how much — the place alpha actually lives.
How it works
Your internal model joined against Street consensus at segment level — every divergence, by metric, with the evidence behind it.
Idea Sourcing — Insider / 13F / Short
Surface names you don't already know — where insiders, smart money and shorts all point the same way.
How it works
A ranked screen triangulating Form 4 insider activity, 13F positioning and short interest.

How it works

Deal Diligence & IC Memo
The time sink in event-driven and special-situations diligence — first-pass VDR triage and IC prep — turned repeatable, with the deal-killer surfaced earlier.
How it works
A per-deal workspace that ingests the data room and internal materials, runs phased diligence, then drafts the IC-ready memo with citations.
Activist Pre-Positioning
The 13-D pop is the most repeatable event-driven move in equities — and it's fully formed before the public filing.
How it works
Screens for the activist setup, then overlays early footprints — Form 4 clusters, options sweeps, 13F creep, jet movements into target HQs.
Litigation Docket Calendar
Turn the court system into a catalyst feed — the binary, dated legal events the market under-watches outside dedicated litigation funds.
How it works
Dockets monitored for class-cert rulings, ITC exclusion orders, patent invalidations and bellwether outcomes, ranked by claim size vs. market cap.
Management Credibility Ledger
The market re-learns each CFO's credibility one disappointment at a time — this makes it portable, and it follows people across companies.

How it works

Short Book Cost & Availability
Stop silent alpha decay — catch the borrow squeeze before the recall.
How it works
Borrow cost and availability per short position, with alerts on availability collapse.
Cross-Capital-Structure Breaks
The cheapest early-warning a long/short book can run — credit usually knows first, and equity shops rarely watch their names' CDS.
How it works
For every equity position, the rest of the name's ecosystem watched — its credit, suppliers, customers, input costs and FX — with an alert when they diverge.
Crowding & Squeeze Early Warning
The risk factor that doesn't show up in Barra — “your short is the street's short,” knowable from public data instead of from the tape.
How it works
Every position scored for crowding — 13F overlap, borrow utilization, options gamma, ETF flows — flagging squeeze and degross risk.

Yes, after review. Altitude can assess the workflow, dependencies, security, evaluation coverage and operating burden, then recommend whether to adopt, harden, rebuild or retire it.
Depending on the firm’s requirements, agents can run in an Altitude-managed environment, inside the client’s tenant or through an approved hybrid architecture. Ownership, access and exit are explicit design decisions.
Anyone can wire up an agent. This is what makes one safe to rely on inside a regulated fund.
Portable across our cloud, your environment, or fully on-prem — never locked to one vendor.
A verification gate after every output — figures are checked against source, and unresolved items are routed for human review rather than shipped.
Sentence-level citations, so anything an agent says can be traced back to where it came from.
A private per-client store with replayable history and memory that survives renames and mergers.
Restricted-list gate, permissioning and role-based access at both the agent and the data layer.
