Market Pulse
current state · trailing windows · click a card to drill inTrailing-window flows compare the current window against the immediately prior window of equal length.

Cumulative History
data through 2026-09-06Lifecycle Funnel
count-weighted · cumulative reach · as of 2026-09-06Cumulative reach: each stage counts SPACs that ever reached at least that milestone (a closed deSPAC also counts under Announced and Voted). Stages are count-weighted; a $50M and a $500M SPAC count equally — use the toggle above to re-weight by capital. Membership maps from current status values enriched by vote / EV evidence; it migrates to canonical lifecycle states once #16 lands. Conversion rates render “—” where a stage is unmeasurable under the active weight.

Rate = extracted public-share redemption rate (vote-level). Median / averages are computed only over votes that carry a rate — see the per-group coverage; low coverage means the statistic reflects a small sample, not the whole market. Σ Redeemed is a distinct, typically smaller population (votes with an extracted dollar amount). Blank cells read Unknown, not zero. Share-weighted averaging is gated on public-share normalization (#653/#654) and is not fabricated in the interim.
Upcoming Catalysts

Each date derives from a DB column; none are fabricated. Filed = the date carries a filing source; Est. = a modelled/estimated date, not filing-confirmed. Terminal SPACs are excluded.

Counterparty Leaderboards
as of 2026-09-06Showing the top 25 of 34 rankable sponsor groups (≥2 SPACs advised); 487 tracked overall, single-SPAC entities excluded from ranking. Completion = closed ÷ (closed + liquidated), among resolved SPACs only. Liquidation = liquidated ÷ all associated SPACs. TTA = median IPO→announcement gap. Redemption = median extracted public-share redemption rate; only 91 SPACs carry a rate, so most entities read Unknown. Post-Close = median last price vs the $10 trust reference for closed deSPACs; price coverage is thin (8 tickers), so this column is Unknown for nearly all entities — by design, not zero.

Grouped by IPO year. Each cell is the median day-count to the event over cohort members that reached it, with the reached share (incidence) below; faint medians are right-censored (<50% of the cohort has reached the event) and read biased-low. Blank cells are Unknown, never 0 days. → Vote and → Extend need canonical event dates (spac_event_dates, 278 rows, as of 2026-07-14) and render Unavailable until backfill (#713). 14 earlier cohorts (pre-2015, 87 SPACs, n too small) omitted from the table.
