Deals & Mergers
Three weeks of plumbing. One day of signal.
The signals firehose went live — and the substrate lit up. This is a single day's inflow into MARS: deals, mergers, people, companies and events, every one entity-resolved and dropped into the graph the moment it lands.
Skip the US tech headlines — the edge is the long tail and the cross-border stream: Korean shipbuilders, Japanese tankers buying Belgian terminals, Indian IPOs, names no US index carries. Every foreign figure is captured in native currency and normalized to USD at the deal date — the ₩/¥/₹ column below is the firehose's FX layer doing its job.

The firehose isn't just deals — it's the full menu of corporate signals the classifier used to score and skip. Each is now an extracted, entity-resolved event. One day's count, with a real example from today.
Anyone can list that Biohaven raised today. What MARS does the instant it lands: resolve it to the company we already hold, and light up everything attached — the banks in the round, the executives, the board, the insiders. Two deals today, and the graph already knew the neighborhood.
$600M debt + $400M licensing landed today — and resolved into an existing node with a full syndicate and management graph.
The firehose doesn't respect borders. Today: a Korean shipbuilder changing hands, a Japanese tanker line buying Belgian tank terminals, two Indian IPOs, a Chinese solar carve-out, Canadian battery grants — plus appointments in Korean and Chinese script — all landing in one graph, next to the same canonical entities, native currency normalized to USD on arrival. The volume is the headline; the reach and the linkage are the moat. This is the coverage a US-centric index simply doesn't carry — every row resolved the moment it lands, not a list to reconcile later.
