How analysts use it
From alert to decision
- 1
Alert arrives
From your surveillance engine or rule set, with a severity and a reason.
- 2
Context loads
Orders, trades and market data for the window around the alert, on one screen.
- 3
Analyst decides
Close, escalate or investigate, with notes and evidence saved together.
Why tick level
What bar charts hide
- Order sequence
- Whether a large order arrived before or after a price move is invisible on a one-minute bar.
- Intrabar extremes
- A limit breached for two seconds inside a bar still counts.
- Cross-venue timing
- Prices on two venues compared at the millisecond, not the minute.
- Latency
- Delays between systems, which only show when timestamps keep their full precision.

Selected work, global investment bank, trading floor
A charting engine for trade surveillance: hundreds of millions of ticks a day, views down to the nanosecond
If a bank's surveillance desk can chart every tick of a session in a browser, a broker's clients can have charts that do not stutter, lose drawings or disagree with the statement. The same engineering applies, at a fraction of the data volume.

3. Go-live
Evidenced release
A runbook, an evidence file your compliance lead can read in one sitting, and an off switch for every AI feature.
4. Day 90
Results check

Questions
Risk and surveillance dashboards: common questions
Do you write the surveillance rules?
We build the screens, data pipelines and workflow around your surveillance engine or rule set. Which behaviours to monitor is a decision for your compliance team.
Can it work with our existing surveillance vendor?
Usually, by reading its alerts and data through an API or export and adding the context and visualisation around them.
How much data can the charts handle?
The engine our founder built handled hundreds of millions of ticks a day per view, with zoom to nanosecond resolution. Most brokers and prop firms need a fraction of that.
Does this replace our risk system?
No. It shows what your risk system knows, faster and with better context. Limits and decisions stay where they are.
