Orion Risk Intelligence began as Hidden Levers, a fintech company focused on macroeconomic risk analysis. The founders identified a gap in how financial institutions understood economic volatility. Banks and asset managers had access to vast data, yet struggled to translate global economic shifts into practical risk decisions.
