for a complex market.

Four lenses for asking better questions about market conditions. Inputs, weights and update rules will be documented before the first reading.

Momentum

The direction and persistence of price trends over a defined period.

Volatility

The scale of market fluctuations and changes in uncertainty.

Credit

Financing conditions and signs of stress in credit markets.

How to read the Index and company confidence

Market conditions

The Espresso Index

A proposed numeric framework for participation, momentum, volatility and credit. The first reading will follow a documented methodology and approved data.

Company evidence

Espresso Confidence

The arrows in our company articles are dated qualitative assessments: ↑ strengthened, → mixed and ↓ weakened. They describe how evidence affects the business case. They are separate from the market Index, do not represent a change in a numeric score and do not predict share-price direction.

Before the first reading

We will document data sources, market coverage, observation periods, normalisation, weights, missing-data treatment and update rules. Each reading will identify its date and methodology version. The framework remains in development; no live reading or investment recommendation is implied by this preview.
