TORTUOSITY

Financial services, namely, providing a proprietary market-integrity research service identified as a TORTUOSITY metric or index to quantify the path-inefficiency, geometric complexity, and directional focus of capital flow; providing financial risk management research to identify when market flow-paths become indirect or convoluted, signaling a waste of kinetic energy and a lack of clear price discovery; providing forensic analytics and kinematic measurements of the arc length and "zig-zag" efficiency of transactions within an order book; providing structural health data regarding the turbulent or chaotic nature of capital flow to predict impending market-flow fractures and regime shifts.

Providing downloadable and non-downloadable cloud-based software for financial market forensics; providing a technical platform to monitor the geometric and relative path-length of capital flows via a TORTUOSITY metric or index; providing analytical tools to identify structural yielding in financial order books by measuring the convolution and inefficiency of market flow-paths; software featuring forensic instrumentation for the kinematic measurement of the directional focus & turbulent nature of price discovery ; providing a website featuring technology to visualize the structural health of the market medium & identify regime shifts prior to traditional volatility detection
