The Scale of Market Quake (SMQ) is the first product of the Olsen Information System with predictive information of the world economy and the financial markets that Olsen is building. The service is intended to provide decision support for investors; both institutional and private, to treasurers, risk managers, central bankers and government representatives. Its output is to be generated by processing byte by byte of data on economic activity, buy and sale flows on the financial markets and news events. The added value of the service is its systematic compilation and analysis of the abundance of data that is spewed out by the global economy. The service will be based on the models of high frequency finance that analyze the complex feedback processes in the economy impacting the occurrence and outcome of future events. 

Weather forecasts are an integral part of our modern lives and are ubiquitous in newspapers, television programs and internet offerings. In the economic domain nothing comparable exists; yes, there is an abundance of written comments of people that compile information with traditional methods but there are no services that compile and process tick-by-tick of data that is spewed out by the global economy from tick-by-tick price information of all the financial markets to all the fundamental data that is tracked in statistics. The processing of data and tracking of feedback processes lays open the forces that impact the future outcome of events and is thus valuable input for informed decisions.
