Services in depth

A closer look at how Shunya works across market structure, execution, volatility, mentorship, and execution quality.

01Analysis

Market microstructure advisory

A sharper read on how your liquidity actually behaves.

What this covers

  • Diagnostic memo: spread behaviour, queue quality, impact signatures, hidden friction.
  • Metric framework for monitoring adverse selection and fill quality.
  • Decision notes: structural vs transient, which signals are safe to act on.

Best suited for

Trading desks, PM teams, execution leads, and research groups wanting a mechanism-level read on price formation.

02Strategy

Optimal execution strategies

Disciplined execution schedules that reduce implementation shortfall.

What this covers

  • Execution framework: objective → urgency → market conditions → schedule.
  • Parameter note mapping model inputs to desk-observable quantities.
  • Recommendations on benchmark choice, parent-child design, and post-trade review.

Best suited for

Buyside desks, treasury execution teams, allocators with recurring rebalance flows.

03Models

Volatility surface calibration

Defensible vol surfaces that hold up under pressure.

What this covers

  • Calibration and validation framework for SABR or eSSVI with explicit QA checks.
  • Daily batch-review rules for butterfly/calendar arbitrage and wing consistency.
  • Docs on failure modes and escalation steps when the surface misbehaves.

Best suited for

Options traders, structuring teams, vol quants, and model-validation functions for listed or OTC books.

04Mentorship

Quantitative mentorship

Intuition that sticks — not formulas that fade after the exam.

What this covers

  • Mentorship plan: reading paths, derivation checkpoints, discussion sessions.
  • Feedback on research statements and conceptual gaps in core quant topics.
  • Custom exercises to move from recognition to real understanding.

Best suited for

PhD applicants, early-career quants, and students preparing for research-oriented roles.

05TCA

Execution algorithms & TCA

Clarity on whether your algos perform as expected.

What this covers

  • Slippage-attribution review: spread capture, impact, fees, timing, missed liquidity.
  • Algorithm or venue assessment with constraints and realistic expectations.
  • Operational framework for monitoring execution quality over time.

Best suited for

Trading teams, allocator platforms, family offices, and institutions comparing brokers or algos.

If the boundaries between execution, market structure, and research overlap in your problem, that is usually a good sign. Most strong engagements start with a short conversation and a clearly written problem statement.
