The method

Find the gap.
Test the relationship.

Converge compares related companies, checks whether their relationship holds, and surfaces the pairs worth a closer look.

The idea

A gap is only useful if the relationship still holds.

We look for similar paths, measure the separation, and filter for evidence before a pair reaches the daily brief.

Illustrative example

Two familiar paths, one unusual separation

Illustration of two related price paths separatingCompany A and Company B move closely for most of the sample. Near the end, Company A rises while Company B falls. The widening space between them is labeled an unusual gap worth reviewing.

The question: Temporary stretch or broken relationship?

Review the relationship

Research only

These are historical comparisons, not trade signals. Relationships can break, and costs or company news can overwhelm a gap.
