Hivemind: Universes

What Are Hivemind Universes?

Hivemind universes allow users to define custom sets of companies and the time periods during which those companies are active. By specifying tickers with optional start and end dates, users control which companies are in the universe and when.

Universes are used when generating company exposures and running pipelines to control which companies are included.

UI Access

Universes can be explored, created, customized, and downloaded in the ForecastOS UI, where users can visualize active company counts over time.
