Quantifying the Emotional Residue of Power
A post-rational analysis instrument for S&P 500 and Nasdaq leadership. Detecting symbolic volatility before it scales into systemic risk.
Theoretical framework: Chapter 14 — Institutional Financial Therapy: Reframing Executive Behavior, Capital Decisions, and Systemic Risk, by Prof. Prince Sarpong.
Opens the live ESRA instrument
ESRA reads the people who move markets. It turns a leader’s own public language — earnings calls, interviews, posts — into a measurable read on the emotional and symbolic pressure building behind their decisions, before it shows up in the share price.
General tenure — the full public record, in context.
Scripted — earnings calls & polished PR.
Unscripted — social media & live, off-the-cuff Q&A.
Generative AI synthesises the signal across 5 IFT domains and 7 risk nodes into a single risk band and a narrative trajectory — where the pressure is heading, not just where it sits today.
A directional governance lens — not a clinical diagnosis. Read the risk band and the trajectory, not a single number.
