mapvest

See a brand. Get the ticker.

A can of soda on a shelf is a claim on a public company's future cash flows. Mapvest removes the packaging. Point at anything with a name on it — public or private — and get the ticker, the comparable, and the evidence.

Point at anything with a name on it

Camera or map. Public brand returns the ticker. Private brand returns the closest public comparable and an ETF that actually holds it. Every result carries confidence, and every result carries evidence. No account needed to identify — sign in when you find something worth keeping.

Research the neighborhood, not just the name

Once an identify lands, the brief covers the block around it — foot traffic, local competitors, permits, the regional quirks that make one corner better than another. The company and the ground it stands on come back together.

A finance agent that cites its tools

Chat about any name in your universe. The agent doesn't guess — it names the tool it used, the sources it read, and what it couldn't find. Every morning it writes one brief on the names you've caught. No hype, no calls.

Prices and postures — never buy or sell

Charts, options chains, corporate events, and a Prism dashboard that states a posture (favorable, balanced, unfavorable) with a confidence band. Mapvest identifies. Mapvest does not recommend.

Manifesto

Remove the packaging.

A can of soda on a shelf and a bottle of shampoo in a drugstore aisle are legal claims on a public company's future cash flows, and nobody standing there thinks about them that way.

Mapvest removes the packaging. Point the camera at the object and what comes back isn't the product — it's the company behind it, priced, charted, and sourced. Public brand: the ticker. Private brand: the closest public comparable and an ETF that actually holds it. Every find is kept in your universe. Every result travels with evidence.

Mapvest identifies. Mapvest does not recommend. Not advice — evidence.

The app

Point at something. Read the brief. Build a universe.

The iPhone app is the product. Every identify is kept as a find — your universe grows as you move through the world. The brief writes itself. The tape shows up when you're ready to decide. Nothing on the card is unsourced.

The map

Jade pins are public tickers. Blue pins are private brands resolved to a comparable and an ETF that holds them.

Identify

Point at a shelf, a sign, a can. The brand becomes a ticker with a confidence level and an evidence card.

The result

Ticker, sector, comparables, ETFs that actually hold it, and the sources behind every number. Evidence travels with the result.

The loop

Capture → identify → confidence → evidence.

Point at it. The world becomes a ticker or a comparable, and it comes back with a confidence level and an evidence card. Then comps, news, and a brief on the neighborhood the object was found in. Evidence travels with every result. Nothing on the card is unsourced.
