Adds docs/providers/market_data.md and docs/providers/alternative_data.md: the vendor landscape beyond what ml4t-data wraps (US equities daily and tick, futures, options, FX, crypto; news, social, web and app, card, foot traffic, satellite and shipping, ESG, supply chain, prediction markets, marketplaces). Linked from the provider index and the nav next to the fundamentals page (#60).

Verification (September 2026):

  • Links: 66 external links fetched; 63 return 200 on a page about the named product, 2 return 403 to automated clients but were confirmed another way (SEC with a compliant User-Agent, CME DataMine via its education page), 1 (Reddit Data API Wiki) sits behind a Cloudflare challenge and could not be fetched. Two paths with parentheses (S&P Global Marketplace) render correctly in the built HTML.
  • Claims: every factual claim checked against vendor documentation, a press release or published reporting. Wrong, outdated or imprecise claims were corrected; claims no public source supports were removed or marked "not documented".
  • Book references checked against the chapter 2, 3 and 4 manuscript headings.
  • mkdocs build --strict passes; pre-commit passes.

Market data: the vendor landscape for US equities and ETFs (daily panels
and trade, quote and order-book data), futures, options, FX and crypto,
with delisted coverage, adjustments, granularity, point-in-time index
membership, access tier and ml4t-data support. Wrapped providers link to
the existing provider comparison instead of repeating it.

Alternative data: news and text, social, web and app, workforce, card
transactions, foot traffic and satellite, ESG, supply chain, prediction
markets and marketplaces, with history, what is documented about
point-in-time behavior, access tier and ml4t-data support.

Vendor facts verified September 2026; every external link checked.

…by-claim audit

Every factual claim on both pages was checked against vendor documentation,
press releases or, for PredictIt and Polymarket's US access, published
reporting. Corrections:

- Wrong dates: Databento OPRA starts April 2013 (not March 2023), Cboe
  DataShop options data starts January 2012, Advan Patterns+ history starts
  2019, Orbital Insight sale was May 2024, Reddit paid API began July 2023.
- Wrong coverage: Sharadar SEP counts tickers, not funds, and only its close
  is dividend and spin-off adjusted; AlgoSeek covers every listed US equity
  from 2007; TAQ from 1993 is Monthly TAQ, Daily TAQ starts September 2003;
  CRSP daily NYSE data starts July 1962; Neudata lists 7,000+ datasets.
- Outdated: PredictIt now has CFTC approval as a regulated exchange;
  Polymarket's US access runs through QCEX since December 2025; the Zillow
  database has no catalog page and was last refreshed July 2025.
- Filled from vendor docs: Alpaca spin-off adjustment, FirstRate and Norgate
  individual futures contracts, FactSet supply-chain history by region, CME
  DataMine per-contract files, Tardis tier windows.
- Removed claims no public source supports (ORATS futures-option exclusion,
  S&P ESG counts and history, Sustainalytics score range, Panjiva history,
  Nasdaq Data Link publisher count, and others) or marked them not
  documented.
- Kinetick and Benzinga links now point to pages that describe the product.

…e PredictIt

The cited Polymarket release (2025-11-25) reports a CFTC amended order of
designation for intermediated US access with launch to follow; it names no
QCEX and no December access date, so the page no longer claims either.
PredictIt's September 2025 approval now links the Bloomberg report.
