The aerospace & defense signal layer — alongside your existing tools

Alongside PitchBook

We do not cover private-company cap tables or secondary-market PE deals — PitchBook does. We cover federal contract flow, defense-industrial density, and aerospace-specific patent / SBIR velocity that PitchBook does not.

Workflow

Export THALRIK entity reads to CSV; paste into a PitchBook company dashboard as a proprietary signal column.

Alongside Bloomberg Terminal

Terminal is the horizontal tool — every sector, every market, every news feed. We are the vertical sidecar for the aerospace and defense slice. If your mandate includes A&D, our composite state rankings and contractor velocity reads are data Terminal does not aggregate.

Workflow

Use Terminal for the tape, THALRIK for the contract + R&D underpinnings that explain why the tape is moving.

Alongside FactSet / S&P Capital IQ

FactSet gives you financials and estimates across every name. We give you the federal contract obligation pipeline that drives A&D earnings 18 months before the print — plus the recompete window calendar, which no one else maintains.

Workflow

Pair our recompete-radar export with FactSet estimate revisions; the intersection often front-runs sell-side consensus.

Contractor health reads

Per-UEI composite of recent award velocity, patent grant count, SBIR / STTR wins, workforce QCEW delta, and agency concentration. Flat composite while award velocity is falling is the early warning your general-purpose tools miss.

AEVI weekly velocity

The Event-Velocity Intelligence reading moves before fundamentals move. Six feeds — contract deltas, SBIR, legislation, launches, news density, entity-state changes — rolled into a directional arrow per jurisdiction and per firm.

Recompete radar

Which incumbent contracts are reaching end-of-period-of-performance in the next 6–18 months. Plus the qualitative vulnerability read: is the incumbent vs. a plausible challenger likely to hold?

Budget-scenario cascade

Model a 10% DoD topline cut, a specific program cancellation, or a CR extension. Trace the dollars through contractors, sub-tiers, and place-of-performance states so you can size portfolio exposure without rebuilding a spreadsheet.

Supply-chain depth

Prime → sub → sub graph across 1.1M+ federally-registered entities. Identify single-source dependencies, geographic concentration, and common-parent risk across your holdings.

State-level A&D composite

All 53 U.S. jurisdictions on one 0–100 score plus seven state sub-index breakdowns. Used for regional sizing decisions, state-incentive-aware capacity planning, and co-investment geography screens.

Public-equity portfolio manager

1. 1Pin 10–30 names to a watchlist; THALRIK emails an AEVI weekly.
2. 2On a direction-change arrow, drill into the six contributing feeds for that name.
3. 3Before an earnings print, run the budget-scenario cascade to size exposure.

Private-equity / growth investor

1. 1Run the recompete radar on the target's three largest contracts.
2. 2Score the target on defense-industrial density vs. the portfolio baseline.
3. 3Export the supply-chain depth read into the IC deck as appendix A.

Sell-side analyst / policy desk

1. 1Subscribe to the weekly AEVI roll-up for the names in your coverage list.
2. 2Cite the state composite when writing the "why this state" regional thesis.
3. 3Use paste-a-notice on every new federal notice you reference in a note.
