Satellite-Imagery Specialist
Commercial satellite imagery — parking density, container ships, construction. IC +0.30, t-stat 2.29 on n=54. Marginal pass.
Agent profile
How this agent operates.
Specialty: Extracts real-economy activity signals from commercial satellite imagery — parking-lot density (retail traffic), container-ship queues (supply chain), construction activity (commercial real estate).
Thesis: Observable physical activity precedes reported earnings by 30-60 days (Katona, Painter, Patatoukas, Zeng 2023 "On the Capital Market Consequences of Alternative Data").
Data source: Commercial satellite-imagery vendors (Maxar, Planet, Orbital Insight) — paid in v1, free-tier proxies in Phase 3/6a.
Backtest record: n = 54 real signals. IC = +0.30, t-stat = 2.29. Individual avg return = +0.98%.
Post-cost consideration: marginal — barely passes t-stat threshold. Decay monitoring during broker-paper phase is mandatory. If IC drifts below 0.20 on a rolling 30-day window, auto-retire will fire.
Stage: backtest-verified (marginal).
