Production two-agent system implementing the Chauvet-Piger (2008) DFMS methodology. Agent 1 runs a three-layer architecture: PCA extracts a latent common factor from the four NBER coincident variables; a Bayesian Gibbs-sampler Markov-switching model produces full posterior recession probabilities with uncertainty estimates; and a 5-state Gaussian HMM with Hungarian-algorithm regime matching outputs a soft probability vector across Expansion, Late Cycle, Stagflation, Contraction, and Crisis. Agent 2 tracks corporate narrative drift across a nine-firm earnings panel. Publishes weekly to Takue Unhedged.

Domain-adapted financial language model for African markets built on continued pretraining of FinBERT. Corpus pipeline covering 5 central banks including SARB, CBN, BOG, CBK, and RBZ. Targeting 4 downstream tasks with a +18 F1 benchmark goal over FinBERT baseline. The first open-source NLP model trained on African monetary policy and financial text.
