History

The present makes more sense with the past.

Whatever is happening now has happened before, in some form. WorldLens finds the closest precedents, scores how similar they are, and shows how markets actually reacted, along with what's different today.

01 Matching

Finding the closest precedents.

WorldLens compares the shape of today's event, its drivers, its exposures and its setup, against decades of history. It then surfaces the handful of past episodes that rhyme with it most closely.

It matches on what is actually happening, not on surface labels, so a chip-supply shock lines up with other supply shocks even when the headlines look nothing alike.

02 Similarity

Scoring how close it really is.

Each precedent gets a similarity score, so you know whether you're looking at a near-twin or a loose analogy.

A 91% match and a 64% match are treated very differently. The score keeps you from over-trusting a comparison that only half fits.

03 Reaction

How markets actually reacted.

For each parallel, WorldLens shows what markets did last time, not what a pundit said would happen. Which assets moved, in which direction, and how it played out over the following weeks.

One is a story about the past. This is the record of it.

04 Difference

What's different today.

The past never lines up perfectly. WorldLens flags the ways today's setup differs from each precedent.

So the comparison is there to sharpen your own read, not make the call for you.
