The Bloomberg Terminal
for AI Agents
Causal intelligence enabling agents to understand the world, anticipate market shifts, and produce decision-grade insights.

Capital allocators need to see 3 steps ahead.
But their AI tools can’t be trusted.
- Today’s tools tell you what happened, not what will happen and when.
- Agents don’t have access to the structured datasets needed for complex analysis.
- The legacy intelligence stack was built for slow humans, not fast agents.

The Causal Engine
for Agentic Analysis.
Cascadian builds a living map of cause and effect across markets, geopolitics, supply chains, and policy, then answers the five questions that matter: what changed, what caused it, what it hits next, what others are missing, and what to do about it.

Human and Agentic Demand
The whole market. Terminals, research, expert networks, alt data & analyst labor, plus agent forecast-intelligence, roughly half the $180–250B AI-API economy as agents run 24/7 and outnumber human analysts.
What we can serve. The $15B of intelligence subscriptions our ICPs pay today, plus the forecast API their agents will call as Claude & ChatGPT become the default interface.
What we’ll capture. ~1,500 accounts, macro HFs ($500M+), family offices, F500 treasuries & SWFs, × ~$200K ACV → $300M ARR by 2031; agent · API overtakes seats in 2029.
