The website uses a solely data-driven approach and processes millions of data sets into usable, actionable data. Examples of this actionable data include pollutant data from NASA satellites used to determine industrial production levels; the number of job listings to determine forecasted payroll numbers; time taken to fulfil job listings to determine the status of the labour market; determining the movement through truck stops via cell phone location data to forecast economic activity; REIT prices via mobile data, labour market data, airport traffic, hotel listings; mobility data of companies, especially in the US, and what this means for the future of the company.

DeepMacro publishes weekly on China, generating charts such as growth factors, inflation factors, real estate numbers, capital flows by taking big data sets as well as official data sets. DeepMacro also publishes weekly on the FED, tracking FED actions and their effects on the US market.
