Forecasting news infrastructure
Reconstruct exactly what was knowable at any point in time, validate your model against it, then deploy on the same licensed source in real time. No future-data leakage.

The problem
Scraped archives get re-edited, re-dated, and back-filled. The moment tomorrow’s information reaches yesterday’s test, the result stops meaning anything.
Re-dated and updated articles quietly contaminate the evaluation.
Paywalled reporting is missing exactly where the signal was.
Testing on one corpus and deploying on another invalidates the result.
The fix is an archive that preserves time: AskNews.
Why forecasters switch
Temporal integrity, licensed depth, and one consistent corpus from evaluation through live deployment.
Reconstruct who and what was connected to an event — as of any date.
Forecasting-grade infrastructure
Validate against the historical record, then run live on the same licensed feed — so nothing about your data layer changes when the model goes to production.
Query the corpus exactly as it stood at any timestamp.
Years of licensed reporting, consistently dated.
The same endpoint in back-test and in production.
Sweep thousands of resolution windows without rate-limit gymnastics.
Entity-level features that stay stable across the archive.
Wire the archive straight into agentic research loops.
Built for research engineers
Getting started
Bound every query to what was knowable then.
Run resolution windows across years of coverage.
Point production at the same licensed source.
How do we compare?
For forecasting, the question is not how much history you can reach. It is whether that history is honest about time.
| Approach | The problem | AskNews |
|---|---|---|
| Scraped archives | Re-dated and back-filled after the fact | Timestamps preserved as published |
| Generic AI search | Returns today’s view of a past event | Bound every query to an as-of date |
| Traditional news APIs | Shallow history, no paywalled depth | Licensed archive spanning years |
| Separate test and live feeds | Back-test never matches production | One source across both |
