Our Technology

FirstRain runs on a combination of technology, models, and analytics.

Our ability to provide unique data is possible only by categorizing millions of web documents based on software models. We then apply pattern detection and analytics to the facts and events we extract from these documents to reveal unique insights about global markets and industries.

Search-Driven Research Solution
Our core technology focuses on search-driven research, which exploits the web's power as a reflection of markets and society. It transforms the web's vast stores of qualitative data into a knowledgebase that contains data and patterns discernable only across many documents. Qualitative analytics is a new class of technology that FirstRain has developed for extraction, pattern detection and analytics against this knowledgebase.

Of course, the web doesn't sit still, so we architected our technology to keep up. FirstRain goes beyond application of static sets of models and analytics - to also continually monitor for, and adapt to emergent patterns on the web.

This groundbreaking technology opens new worlds of opportunity. While search-driven research provides our clients unique data and insights today, FirstRain technology has the potential to make it vastly easier for professionals to understand our increasingly global world. The web is the limit.
