Showcasing our ability to deliver sophisticated backend infrastructures, Neural Alpha delivered the database, ETLs and API powering Lucida’s advanced supply chain and deforestation analysis.

In 2019 Neural Alpha was commissioned to build a bespoke data platform for The Baltic Exchange which would become the base of all activities related to the publication of the Baltic Exchange’s financial benchmarks and derivatives. Additionally Neural Alpha developed a quality control system within BDP that is able to tackle the challenge of benchmark validation in a market with the unique challenges of ocean freight: unpredictable liquidity, extremely high volatility, and highly siloed market activity, with often restricted information. BDP deploys a battery of univariate and multivariate tests to be able to assess the contributors to The Baltic Exchange’s indices for quality, relevance, and conformity to expected standards.

Ahead of the UNOC 3 Ocean Conference, Responsible Capital ran a quick stocktake across 60 global companies to assess the state of ocean-related reporting.
