The engine

Two composites.
One Fusion Score.

Every security earns two independent reads. A sentiment composite captures what the crowd, the options market and insiders are doing. A standard composite captures the fundamentals. We blend them into a single number you can compare across the entire universe.

Benchmarked. Not back-patted.

Every portfolio is tracked against its index and scored on the metrics that actually matter — the same risk-adjusted figures a professional allocator would demand.

Transparent by design.

Each security receives a Sentiment Composite from five sub-indicators and a Standard Composite from technical, momentum, valuation and quality signals. The two blend into the Fusion Score, which feeds five rules-based strategies — each declined for the SPY, EU600 and R3K universes and rebalanced weekly. Every indicator, weight and rule book is documented in-app.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is the Fusion Score?

The Fusion Score is a single comparable 0–100 read per security. It blends a Sentiment Composite, built from five sub-indicators that capture how the market feels, with a Standard Composite built from a classic multi-factor model. Higher scores reflect broader alignment between sentiment and fundamentals.

See the full breakdown in our methodology.

Which markets and universes do you cover?

Three equity universes: the S&P 500, the STOXX Europe 600, and the Russell 3000. Every Fusion Score, every strategy and every metric in the platform is computed independently for each universe, so a US large-cap read is never mixed with European mid-caps.

How often are the strategies rebalanced?

All strategies rebalance on a fixed weekly schedule. Every addition, removal and reweight is logged and time-stamped in the platform's Rebalance Log, so any user can reconstruct the path of any portfolio over time.

Is Barrakuda Quant investment advice?

No. Barrakuda Quant is a research and monitoring platform for systematic equity analysis. Nothing on the website or in the platform constitutes investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security. You are responsible for your own investment decisions.

Who is the platform built for?

The platform is built for professional, institutional and sophisticated investors who run their own decision-making — systematic and discretionary equity research desks, quant analysts, and experienced individual investors who use rules-based scoring to filter ideas at scale.

How do I get access?

Access is granted on request and on a rolling basis. Request access with your work email and a few words about your context — we'll be in touch.

What data goes into the score?

The Sentiment Composite blends five sub-indicators: social-media sentiment, news sentiment, options-market sentiment, analyst-consensus momentum and insider transaction sentiment. The Standard Composite blends technical, momentum, valuation and quality factor groups using standard market and fundamental data. Each input is z-scored against the relevant peer set to keep scores comparable across sectors and universes.

Do you publish past performance?

Backtested and live figures (alpha, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, max drawdown, win rate, profit factor, total return) are computed per strategy and universe inside the platform. Any figures shown on the public website are illustrative, not a record of returns. Past or simulated performance is not indicative of future results.
