§ — Custom research

Tell us what you want to investigate

Sigflow welcomes conversations about custom research, data projects, and collaborative work. You may have a specific question, an existing project, or an idea that is still taking shape. Tell us what you are working toward.

Research, structured data, programming, and analysis, combined around your objective.

§01 — How we work

A collaboration shaped around your needs

Every inquiry is different. We work with you to understand the question, the available information, and the kind of output that would be useful. The scope, timing, and commercial terms are agreed for each project.

Our work can draw on research, structured data, programming, and analysis. The right combination depends on the objective and the information available.

Who we welcome

We welcome inquiries from companies, professional traders, trading teams, researchers, and other organizations. You do not need to fit a predefined service category to start a conversation. Projects may be limited to one question or involve a longer collaboration. We are also open to discussing partnerships and ways to combine our capabilities with the work you already do.

Possible directions

A collaboration might involve organizing a body of information, investigating a topic, studying historical events, developing a research process, or preparing a useful report or dataset. These are examples rather than a fixed menu. If your idea does not fit these examples, reach out.

§02

Starting points

§03

How a project begins

  1. Step 01

    Share the question or objective, who will use the output, and any important timing considerations.

  2. Step 02

    We discuss the information needed, possible scope, and whether the project is a suitable fit.

  3. Step 03

    For an agreed project, we document the deliverables, timing, fees, usage rights, and other terms before work begins.

A useful first message

Tell us what you want to understand or create. Describe the intended use and any constraints. If you already have a preferred format or timeline, include it. An initial outline is enough to begin the discussion.

Please note. Please do not send confidential datasets, account credentials, nonpublic company information, or proprietary materials in your first inquiry. If sensitive information is needed, we can first discuss an appropriate agreement and method for sharing it.

Start a conversation

Describe the project in your own words. We will consider the request and discuss possible next steps.

Scope of research services. Our research and data work is intended for informational, analytical, and educational use. It does not include personalized investment recommendations, account management, or trade execution. A written agreement defines the scope of an accepted project. Submitting an inquiry does not create an engagement. Where research concerns securities or market activity, it is subject to uncertainty and trading risk. It does not guarantee a business or investment result.
