Stay ahead in a world driven by data and disruption. Whether you're looking to enhance efficiency, unlock new revenue streams, or future-proof operations, our AI-led, analytics-powered approach is built to scale with your vision. Let's turn challenges into opportunities together.
Accurate industry classification is crucial as it ensures proper financial analysis, reporting, benchmarking, and strategic decision-making. Investors rely on industry classifications to compare companies with peers, apply sector-specific valuation models, and facilitate targeted investments. Correct classification also helps in identifying strategic fits and potential synergies during M&A, ensure adherence to relevant laws of the industry and so on.
Today's dynamic markets require more than traditional classifications. Decimal Point Analytics (DPA) has created an AI-powered classification system that adapts in real time, covering over 15,000 companies across the US, Canada, and the UK.
In a fast-paced environment, companies frequently change strategies and innovate, while traditional classification systems lag. This can lead to misclassifications affecting investing and risk management. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), DPA developed a system that works in near real time, giving asset managers a more accurate view of the market landscape.
In an ever-evolving financial landscape, maintaining relevant and insightful data is a constant challenge. At DPA, we revolutionize data sourcing and classification through the power of AI. DPA’s comprehensive data extraction leverages diverse sources, including financial reports, regulatory filings, market news etc, providing real-time insights into market dynamics, company strategies, and emerging trends.
Our team utilizes AI-powered tools to provide insights, highlight potential classification changes, and trigger alerts for review by our industry experts. Here’s how AI contributes to this process:
Textual Analysis with NLP: Utilize Natural Language Processing to analyze complex data, identifying changes in company descriptions and strategies to enhance real-time review capabilities.
Real-time Data Interpretation: Real-time analysis of news and corporate announcements, connecting data points to uncover patterns that may require classification review.
Data Standardization: Standardize incoming data by comparing it against established taxonomies to maintain data quality.
Data Contextualization: Add context to numerical and categorical data, allowing for nuanced interpretations of market shifts, which are then validated by our analysts.
While AI identifies potential reclassification opportunities, our expert analysts oversee the process to deliver actionable insights.
Integration of AI elevates our data processing and classification methodology across several areas:
Real-time Updates: Flags potential reclassifications due to significant market events, allowing analysts to make timely revisions and reduce delays seen in traditional systems.
Customized Classification Frameworks: Enables the creation of tailored classification frameworks, focusing on emerging technologies. Unlike competitors who often take years between updates—some not updating their frameworks for four to five years—DPA provides annual updates to these frameworks. This ensures relevance and accuracy.
Anomaly Detection: Analyze incoming data and sends alert to analysts for further investigation to maintain data accuracy.
Near Real-Time Revisions: Automated detection of updates, triggering analyst reviews and enabling near real-time revisions in response to market actions.

Focus on Emerging Industries: We are always ahead of the competition in identifying and adding emerging industries based on market dynamics ensuring precise classification.
As the financial industry becomes more complex and interconnected, the role of AI in data classification will continue to grow. At DPA, we are exploring new frontiers, such as integrating ESG factors into classifications and using predictive modelling to foresee industry shifts. Our team remains at the helm, leveraging these advanced tools to augment decision-making and deliver unparalleled insights to our clients.
