Quantitative intelligence for a global world.

Meridian is a quantitative consultancy for decisions that cross borders — geopolitics, climate, macro, and the orbital economy. We price the unpredictable using data, liquidity, and models that work in public.

Practice areas

Eight domains. One method.

Every engagement runs on the same quantitative stack — calibrated probabilities, not narratives. We work wherever the question is global and the stakes are real.

Geopolitical Risk

Elections, conflicts, sanctions, regime change. Probability-weighted scenarios for desks and policy teams.

42 ENGAGEMENTS

Weather & Climate

Hurricane, heat, precipitation, and ENSO models for reinsurers, utilities, and ag trading desks.

58 ENGAGEMENTS

Space & Orbital

Launch cadence, collision risk, payload markets, and the commercial LEO transition. Telemetry-driven.

14 ENGAGEMENTS

Macro & Rates

Central-bank paths, CPI surprise, FX regimes, sovereign credit. Built for allocators and research desks.

67 ENGAGEMENTS

Live forecasts

The consensus, as of this morning.

A snapshot from the Meridian index — probability estimates our team publishes and defends. Updated hourly, priced against real positions.

Methodology

From question to calibrated probability.

01

Frame the question

We translate a client's decision into a set of falsifiable questions with explicit resolution sources — never vague "outlooks."

02

Structural + market priors

We combine structural models (epi, climate, macro) with live prediction-market prices and our own analyst forecasts, reconciled via Bayesian weighting.

03

Calibration, publicly tracked

Every number we publish is scored against outcomes. Brier scores and calibration curves are open — our track record is a feature, not a pitch deck.

04

Delivered to the desk

Dashboards, briefings, data feeds, or bespoke research — whatever shape the decision needs. Most clients start with a monthly retainer.

Capabilities

Built for the speed of a news cycle.

Research-grade models, operator-grade delivery. The pieces behind the numbers.

Calibration-first modeling

We don't chase accuracy — we chase calibration. Our ensemble combines Bayesian priors, market-implied odds, and analyst judgment, scored continuously against resolved outcomes.

Public track record

Every forecast is timestamped, scored, and open. Brier score, log loss, and calibration curves — not cherry-picked wins.

Probabilities, confidence intervals, and audit trails — streamed to your pipeline. Python, TS, and Rust SDKs.

Most consultants sell you a narrative. Meridian sells you a number — and stands behind it, scored, every quarter.
