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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
SIGMA finds the structure that decides where to act. MITHRIL holds the world the action lands on. ORIGINS turns those decisions into purchase orders for coffee operators. Deploy them together, or alone, depending on the work.
Model · 01
Single Server · Millisecond Inference
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.

Model · 02
Cited · Approval-Gated
The structured layer where frontier AI reasons over an operational world. Six ontology packs ship today — Oil & Gas, Mining, Pharmaceutical, Defense, Power, Maritime. Every answer is cited. Every write is approved by a human.

Model · 03
Procurement · Approval-Gated
The procurement runtime for coffee operators. Pressure-driven buy decisions, multi-supplier scoring, recipe-aware blend coverage, FIFO lot tracking, PO drafts queued for operator approval, and 90-day cashflow projections — built to replace the bulk of a procurement team's daily ops.
Open ORIGINS Brief →Our work concentrates in markets where a wrong answer costs real money — soft commodities, energy, industrial operations, real estate, and software. Below is the active surface of practice.
Sector · 01
Price formation, supply-chain signal, certification & origin economics. We hold deep technical relationships with roasters, traders, and origin associations across LATAM, EMEA, and Africa.
Sector · 02
Day-ahead and intraday markets, dispatch optimisation, generation mix, renewables integration, regulatory exposure. Models tuned for European and North American grids.
Sector · 03
Operationally complex industries where MITHRIL deploys today. Orebody to vessel, batch to readiness — modeled as one queryable structure.
Sector · 04
Build advisory for frontier AI deployments — model selection, eval, ontology design, cost discipline. We ship working systems, not slide decks.
Sector · 05
Submarket signal, zoning intelligence, deal screening at portfolio scale. Active across North American gateway markets and select EMEA submarkets.
Sector · 06
SIGMA deployed inside discretionary and systematic mandates. Compact, self-hosted, integrated within client risk and execution stacks.
Beyond SIGMA, MITHRIL, and ORIGINS, the firm builds custom systems for a small number of operators each year — terminals, consoles, decision surfaces wired into existing infrastructure. A selection of recent deployments below.

Discretionary and systematic mandates running SIGMA inside their own infrastructure. Compact deployment, sub-millisecond inference, signal that holds up out-of-sample.
Industry bodies in coffee, cocoa, and agricultural commodities — origin pricing intelligence, supply visibility, certification economics shared across membership.
Energy, mining, pharmaceutical, defense, maritime — operators deploying MITHRIL to give frontier AI a real operational world to reason about, with audit trails and approval gates.
