Veil: Institutional Flow Intelligence
Status: ACTIVE
Outcome: Detected 12 pre-earnings accumulations, 70% mobile engagement
Problem
Retail investors lack access to institutional order flow data. Existing tools either too complex or actively misleading with predictions.
Constraints
- Real-time data (15min delayed flow is useless)
- No predictions — evidence only
- Mobile-first UX (target audience trades on phone)
- Must cross-reference 3+ data sources per signal
- Zero false-positive insider alerts
Approach
Built signal fusion platform: congressional trading disclosures, options flow, volume anomalies. Focused on "what happened" not "what will happen." No predictions, just evidence. Mobile-first design drove adoption.
Results
- Accumulation Patterns Detected: 12 — Pre-earnings, verified post-hoc
- Avg User-Reported Gain: 8% — On tracked positions
- False-Positive Insider Alerts: 0 — Zero in production
- Mobile Engagement: 70% — Of total sessions
Lessons Learned
- Show evidence, not predictions — users make decisions.
- Data latency matters: 15min delayed flow is useless.
- Mobile UX determines adoption for finance tools.
- Institutional data requires institutional-grade verification.
