LUALDI

Quantitative Research · Data Science · Artificial Intelligence

Quantitative discipline at scale. We turn complex, large-scale data into measurable business outcomes.

Founded in 2015, Lualdi Advisors is a research firm built around one discipline: converting complex, large-scale data into measurable outcomes. Through quantitative modeling, artificial intelligence, and operational intelligence, we build the systems that let serious operators reason about markets, assets, regulations, and supply chains with the precision the work demands. Our clients include hedge funds, family offices, trade associations, and global corporations across commodities, energy, real estate, and software.

We do not predict.
We compute against the world.

Most analytics firms ship dashboards. We ship decisions. Eleven years of practice across commodity markets, energy grids, real estate, and industrial operations have taught us one thing: the value in a model is not the forecast — it is the action the forecast unlocks, executed with discipline, before the rest of the market moves. Every model we build is held to three rules.

// PRINCIPLE 01

Grounded

Every output traces back to a row, a tick, a sensor reading, or a regulation clause. No general knowledge. No vibe. If we say it, we can point at it — the data, the timestamp, the source node.

Citation · Source Node
// PRINCIPLE 02

Reproducible

The data pulled, the prompt issued, the model that answered, the math performed — every step recorded. An auditor can replay it. A regulator can verify it. A successor operator can trust it. This is non-negotiable.

Provenance · End-to-End
// PRINCIPLE 03

Approval-Gated

Our models propose. Operators approve. No autonomous write to a system of record — ever. The strongest co-pilot in the room, never the captain. Agentic by design, never unsupervised.

Human · In the Write Path
// 03Models

Pattern recognition.
Operational reasoning.

SIGMA finds the structure that decides where to act. MITHRIL shows you the ground it happens on, anywhere on earth. OUTLAY turns a year of enterprise spend into a board-ready savings case. Deploy them together, or alone, depending on the work.

SIGMA — Pattern Recognition Engine

A proprietary algorithm developed over fifteen years. SIGMA identifies subtle multi-dimensional patterns in noisy data, recognises regime shifts in real time, and outputs optimal action strategies with measurable confidence. Compact, fast, and self-hostable.

MITHRIL — Geospatial Intelligence Workstation

A desktop workstation built around one 3D globe carrying a growing library of independently toggleable analytical layers — hazard, mining, energy, built environment, defence, maritime, and more. Every layer is a validated quantitative model. Every rendered value is traceable to its source.

// 07Frequently Asked

Direct answers.

What does Lualdi Advisors do?
Lualdi Advisors is a quantitative research firm founded in 2015. We design predictive models and decision systems that convert complex, large-scale data into measurable business outcomes. Our two flagship models are SIGMA (pattern & decision engine) and MITHRIL (geospatial intelligence workstation).
How is SIGMA different from a typical machine-learning model?
SIGMA is not a forecast generator — it is a decision engine. It finds structure in noisy multi-dimensional data, detects regime shifts in real time, and outputs the optimal action with confidence bounds, not just a prediction. It is compact enough to run in milliseconds on a single server inside client infrastructure, keeping data and models private.
Is MITHRIL a GIS?
No. A GIS is a tool for holding and drawing spatial data. MITHRIL is a set of analytical models that happen to run on a globe — the value is in what each layer computes, not in the storage or the cartography.
Which industries do you serve?
SIGMA is most active in capital markets, commodities, energy, and real estate. MITHRIL’s layer library spans hazard and civil protection, mining, built environment, defence, real estate, energy, subsurface, maritime, and agriculture. Across both models we cover coffee, cocoa, sugar, grains, oil, natural gas, power, real estate, and software.
Where is the firm based?
Headquartered in Miami, FL. Client relations office in New York, NY. Research center and execution facility in Chicago, IL. European office in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Specialist team members across EMEA, North America, South America, and the Middle East.
How do I engage Lualdi Advisors?
Engagement is mainly by introduction or referral. The fastest path is a one-paragraph brief through the engagement form on our Contact page — the problem, the operational context, the timeline.
