Bitvore’s AI surveils every obligor active in the municipal bond market.   In the process of it’s operation, the AI converts the alternative investment information of news, blogs and filings into quantified and refined information which is provided to Bitvore customers as Bitvore Alerts and The Muni Daily Brief.   By analyzing the frequency in which negative material changes are detected about obligors we summarize the obligors that are most frequently generating negative warning signs in the first half of 2017.   These warning signs represent counts of unique reports of activity that could indicate increasing risk in the asset.  Together these counts over time provide a new measure of the velocity and volatility in the material changes of an obligor.
