PolicyChop

PolicyChop is a web app (with a lightweight mobile companion) that converts monetary-policy communications into clear, probability-weighted scenarios. It ingests central bank statements, minutes, speeches, and press conferences, then produces a consistent “policy stance” score, a timeline of shifts, and a simple scenario tree (e.g., hold/cut/hike paths) with confidence bands. Users can overlay market-implied expectations (fed funds futures/OIS curves) and see where language diverges from pricing. It’s an AI app plus traditional analytics: AI summarizes and classifies the text; deterministic models handle curve extraction, event studies, and backtests. Brutal reality: retail users won’t pay much, and institutions already have terminals—so the product must win on speed, clarity, and a narrow, decision-ready workflow rather than trying to out-Bloomberg Bloomberg.
