The event is visible.
The exposure takes work.

The world moves.
Your exposure moves with it.

A policy shift can change a supplier’s economics, a company’s outlook, or a portfolio’s risk. Capital flows, ownership relationships, and operating dependencies help explain how the effects travel.

The Solis approach connects these signals to the questions that drive a clear assessment: what changed, who is exposed, how the impact could unfold, and what the evidence actually supports.

An operational view of financial exposure.

Solis draws on three decades of experience in software engineering, AI, scientific computing, data systems, and venture creation. That background shapes a practical question: how does a development in one part of the world change the economics of another?

  • From observation to decision.

    Experience in fluid dynamics, remote sensing, robotics, and marine analytics gives Solis a practical foundation for turning observations into useful analysis. It brings attention to the quality of an observation, the limits of a model, and the evidence behind an inference.

  • Complex systems. Real dependencies.

    Software architecture, data engineering, and integration experience—including telecommunications merger integration—inform how we examine fragmented records, relationships, and the consequences of change.

  • The commercial reality behind the signal.

    Venture formation, product development, and commercialization experience keep the analysis close to business fundamentals: costs, demand, partners, execution constraints, and the path from an idea to a working operation.

  • A perspective across institutions.

    Experience spanning industry, government, academia, and startups informs how a question changes with the decision-maker. An investment thesis, an operating dependency, and a strategic priority can share evidence while requiring different judgments.

Financial and geopolitical intelligence.

The purpose

Connect public developments to the financial and operational exposures that matter to investment, risk, and strategy teams.

The workflow

Identify a signal. Trace the business exposure. Examine the supporting and conflicting evidence. Build an assessment that explains the implications, assumptions, alternatives, and next questions.

The experience behind Solis

Three decades of experience in software engineering, AI, scientific computing, data systems, and venture creation inform Solis’s approach. The background spans sensing and marine analytics, systems integration, product development, and commercialization across industry, government, academia, and startups.

Venture-building experience spans oceanography, energy, manufacturing, trade, telecommunications, sports, video, health, finance, education, and law.

The standard

Source-linked reasoning, explicit uncertainty, and analyst judgment. Trace each assessment to its evidence, distinguish fact from inference, and make the assumptions clear.
