Fig. 1 Hopf fibration, turning in four dimensions. Every circle is a signal. Every circle is linked to every other.
Most data companies record one instrument. Sonata seats the orchestra.
Each section is an industry we hear in real time. Alone, each one is noise. Together they make a chord, and the chord tells you what happens next.

Turbines, substations, meters. We hear a transformer failing nine days before it fails.

Nine of forty-one sections shown. The rest play for clients only.
Order from noise.
In 1787 Ernst Chladni drew a violin bow across a metal plate dusted with sand. The sand fled the parts that shook and gathered on the lines that stood still, drawing the sound. Sonata does the same with ten quintillion data points. Play the right frequency and the structure appears.
Mode (n, m) = (3, 4) · A4 · 440.00 Hz
We see in more dimensions than you do.
This is a tesseract, a four-dimensional cube, turning through a direction you cannot point to. Drag anywhere to turn it. The patterns that move markets, harvests and hospitals do not live in three dimensions either.

There is no pricing page and no demo. Sonata works with a few institutions each year. If yours should be one of them, tell us what you would ask if you could hear everything.

The orchestra holds the note while we listen. If your part belongs in the score, you will hear from us. If it does not, you will hear nothing at all.
After the finale
Encores
The house lights stayed down and nobody left. So the orchestra played five more pieces that are not in the program. They are louder, and the last one is about you.
Every peak is a decision someone thought was private.
The whole planet as one spectrogram. Left to right is longitude, each ridge is six minutes, and every peak is people waking, trading, shipping and switching on the kettle. Beyond the brass line is our forecast. Watch it arrive exactly as drawn.

Every light is something the world runs on: a chip fab, a port, a substation, a grain silo. Click one to break it. A fab floods in Hsinchu; eleven days later a car is not built in Ohio. We hear the whole chain while it is still a rumor.

Markets move like starlings. We see the turn before the first bird does.
A flock with no leader. Your cursor is the hawk, so chase it, and click to scatter it. The blue line is Sonata's forecast of the flock, drawn one second before it gets there.

Backstage
Experiments we have not shown a single client. Some of them will never ship. You are not supposed to be here, so stay as long as you like.
Rehearse the future before you play it.
Every fader is an industry. Push one up to break it. Sonata plays the consequences forward and tells you what fails, where, and on which day. Clients run this before they decide. Everyone else reads about it afterwards.

The cost of hearing late.
The gold line is what Sonata hears. The grey line is what everyone else hears, later. Drag across the chart to change the gap. Everything inside the gap is time you could have used. Pick your size and watch what it is worth.

Illustrative model. Hearing a major event d days earlier is worth 0.4% of annual revenue × √d, with about 40 major events a year.
Hold still for ten seconds. The world can't.
Press and hold the circle, with a finger, the mouse, or the space bar once it has focus. Don't let go. Last ten seconds and you will hear the one movement no client has heard.
Ten seconds. Nothing else.
Movement 0 · Silence
This is the world with nobody talking. It lasts a few milliseconds a year, and it is the only time we hear nothing at all. You found it because you can wait. Most of the world can't, and that is the whole of our advantage.
The hall is almost full.
Every lit seat is an institution that already hears what we hear. Pick your industry to see who got there first. Find an empty seat and it is yours for ten minutes.
