Like web pages, you can

Like web pages, you can navigate through spaces linked by common content, and taxonomy (i.e. go ‘up' from a company to its industry). You can also instantly access any other spaces or lenses. Think of spaces as groups of objects which help you organize different ways of looking at things. Think of lenses as different perspectives on any given group of objects.

Instead of searching for pages about your concern, you search for the object that represents your concern. This object - and there should only be one for each and every conceptual, economic and market entity - acts as a insight and data pivot point. It gives you one click access to:

  • All data about your concern in the metabase
    Company: stock price, EBITDA, Revenue, etc...
  • All relations between the company and other concerns in the metabase
    Company: partnerships, customers
  • All ways of seeing or lenses on that concern.
    Company: cash flow, asset models, etc...
  • All the groupings of that concern with others in the economy.Company: industry, competitors, region of activity...
