Joel Waldman

Stradyn is written by Joel Waldman, a data intelligence executive with over a decade of experience translating complex datasets into strategic decision frameworks.

Before Stradyn, Joel built and led data science and analytics practices serving Fortune 500 clients across professional sports, industrial manufacturing, global hospitality, healthcare and life sciences, financial services, private equity, and consumer brands. The work centered on a single discipline: using structured data to surface the strategic narrative an organization cannot yet see — and translating that narrative into decisions that move capital, operations, and risk.

Stradyn is the geopolitical application of that same discipline, published openly rather than gated. The analysis is what Joel would write anyway. Sharing it openly is more useful than gating it.

Data Intelligence · Strategic Narrative · Mechanism-Aware Analysis
Editorial approach
Primary sources only
Central bank releases, futures markets, sanctioned-asset flows, official transcripts. Never aggregators.
Mechanism over narrative
Every output names which lever is working, not just what happened.
Timestamp-validated resolutions
Scenarios and forecasts resolve with recorded timestamps. No retroactive scoring.
Published openly
Free access with email sign-in. No paywall, no upsell.
