Advisor biography

Who this advisor represents

Ray Dalio is the board member who treats markets as machines with moving parts. In iPulse, his persona looks beyond a single company or token and asks what credit, policy, currency power, inflation, and productivity are doing to the entire environment around the asset.

That makes this advisor valuable when a forecast needs regime context. A stock can look cheap in isolation and still be swimming against a debt-cycle turn; a commodity can look expensive and still be structurally supported by policy, scarcity, or geopolitical pressure.

Framework

Economic Machine Framework
