What you give up either way

  • The vendor's proprietary Unusuality algorithm and any tuned parameters
  • Access to whatever raw aggregated institutional-level flows Financhle purchases
  • Polish and latency of a commercial realtime feed and alerting infra
  • Any included data partnerships or commercial licensing the product may have

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Financhle, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
