We understand emerging markets long before they make headlines.
Every new industry arrives in a fog of announcements, pitch decks, and promises, and almost none of it is verified. We cut through that. Vertical Data Group turns the messy public record of an emerging market into intelligence you can actually trust, while the market is still taking shape.
One company, many markets. AirIndex, our evidence infrastructure for Advanced Air Mobility, is where we proved it.
One engine, many markets.
AirIndex is live today. The rest are markets we are already watching closely, and we like to get there early. They are not separate problems. The same power, airspace, and infrastructure run through all of them, so a move in one is often a signal in another. AAM is the hub the others connect to.
Market stages update from continuous monitoring.
Advanced Air Mobility
LiveIndependent evidence for where electric aircraft can actually land, and which markets are genuinely ready for them.
5,600+ facilities reconciled. 98.5% of the federal heliport record has never been independently inspected.
The hub. Clean power, low altitude airspace, and ground mobility all feed into where aircraft can land.

Carbon Removal
MonitoringWhether the carbon was actually removed, and whether it stayed gone.
Hydrogen Infrastructure
MonitoringWhich hubs and fueling networks have moved from awards and announcements into permitted, financed, built infrastructure.
Different markets. Shared infrastructure.
VDG tracks each market independently, then connects them only where the mechanism is specific and defensible. Advanced Air Mobility is the proven hub.
AirIndex shows what the VDG system becomes when evidence, identity, and change history mature into market infrastructure.
Space and Orbital
Satellite navigation and communications underpin autonomous low-altitude flight.
Autonomous Vehicles
Ground autonomy connects the first and last mile of a multimodal trip.
Nuclear SMR
Dependable clean power supports charging-intensive aviation infrastructure.
Commercial Drones
Shared low-altitude airspace and FAA rulemaking precede scaled passenger operations.
Carbon Removal
Durable removal and auditable claims matter where aviation emissions cannot be eliminated.
Hydrogen Infrastructure
Production and fueling networks can support hydrogen-electric regional aviation.
A living record, built to correct itself.
Monitor the official record.
Reconcile identities and claims.
Track material state changes.
Preserve corrections.
Claims are cheap. The truth is expensive.
Every emerging industry is drowning in claims and starving for the truth. Insurers can’t price what they can’t trust. Regulators can’t govern what they can’t measure. Investors can’t back what they can’t verify. So we don’t sell another product into the noise. We become the source everyone checks against, the honest record a market can build on.
