Your Edge Decays Every Microsecond Your Infrastructure Wastes.
Tick-to-trade latency variance reduced by 99.9%. Data leakage caught before it inflates your Sharpe. Systems built to survive regime shifts — not just normal markets.
The Problems That Cost You Alpha
Every week these go unfixed, your Sharpe decays
Your Execution Is Leaking Alpha
Kernel bypass networking, lock-free structures, and CPU pinning bring your median tick-to-trade under 50µs. Every nanosecond of your critical path, profiled and optimised.
Execution Infrastructure →Your Backtest Is Lying to You
Combinatorial Purged Cross-Validation, Deflated Sharpe Ratios, and regime-aware walk-forward testing expose survivorship bias before you deploy capital.
Quantitative Research →Your Data Pipeline Has Phantom Alpha
Point-in-time correct pipelines with as-of joins, corporate action adjustment, and automated drift detection. Full lineage from raw feed to feature store — no look-ahead leakage.
Market Data Infrastructure →Your Systems Break When Markets Move
Markets are non-stationary. Your infrastructure must be too. SLOs, error budgets, and automated runbooks built to survive regime transitions, not just steady-state.

The honest answer: sometimes you should. Here's when you shouldn't.
Internal Hire
- 6-month ramp before first production commit
- May never have seen a live order book
- £150K+ salary + equity + benefits, ongoing
- Single point of failure when they leave
Generalist Consultancy
- Sends juniors after the sale
- No domain expertise in trading infrastructure
- Optimises for billable hours, not your PnL
- Project handoff creates a dependency
The 1.21 Initiative
- Day-one production impact — no ramp
- Senior architect on every engagement — no juniors
- PnL-aligned incentives — your outcomes, not our hours
- Full knowledge transfer — you keep everything
