The public data, explained
NEUTAUR organizes public physical and trade data so you can read which industries are moving. These are the source concepts behind that data — what each one is, and what it can and cannot tell you.
Bill of Lading (Customs Trade Data)
A bill of lading is the shipping record filed with U.S. Customs for ocean freight entering the country — the raw document behind import-trade data.
Interconnection Queue (Grid Connection Requests)
The interconnection queue is the public backlog of power projects — new generation and large loads like data centers — waiting for grid-operator approval to connect.
SEC Segment Revenue
Segment revenue is the breakdown of a public company’s sales by business line — reported in its SEC filings and machine-readable through XBRL.
HS Code (Harmonized System)
The Harmonized System is the international standard for classifying traded goods, used by customs authorities and UN Comtrade worldwide.
Mann-Kendall Trend Test
The Mann-Kendall test is a standard statistical method for deciding whether a time series is rising, falling, or has no monotonic trend.
Material Substitution
Material substitution is when an industry shifts from one input material to another — for example, copper interconnects giving way to optical.
Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO)
Days Inventory Outstanding measures how many days of inventory a company holds, calculated from its SEC-reported balance sheet.
Physical Signal
A physical signal is an observation drawn from public physical and structural data — customs, power, filings, patents — rather than from news or share price.
Form 8-K (Material Corporate Events)
Form 8-K is the report a U.S. public company files with the SEC to disclose a material event — an acquisition, a major agreement, a leadership change — generally within four business days of it happening.
Form 10-K (Annual Report)
Form 10-K is the comprehensive annual report a U.S. public company files with the SEC — audited financial statements, a description of the business, and its risk factors.
Satellite Thermal Anomaly (Fire Detection)
A satellite thermal anomaly is a heat signature detected from orbit by NASA sensors — used to flag acute physical events such as a fire at an industrial facility.
Critical Minerals
Critical minerals are raw materials that governments designate as both economically important and vulnerable to supply disruption — for example rare earth elements, lithium, and gallium.
