Risk engineering for portfolios that matter.
Verio Labs designs systematic tail-hedge programs, stress tests portfolios, and builds the tooling to monitor risk in real time—grounded in options markets, not slide decks.

We partner with allocators and investors who take risk seriously—and want it documented.

Clear work. Concrete outputs.
Every engagement produces artifacts you can audit, revisit, and build on.
Tail hedge program design
- Define objective, budget, triggers, and governance
- Backtest across regimes
- Produce implementable trade specs & monitoring plan
Portfolio stress testing
- Scenario design (historical + forward narratives)
- Exposure decomposition (delta/vol/corr/liquidity)
- "What breaks first?" reporting
Options research & tooling
- Surface analytics, skews, carry, convexity
- Backtesting frameworks
- Monitoring dashboards & alerts
Education for decision-makers
- Options & risk literacy for ICs / founders / CFOs
- Clear memos, not theory seminars
Independent by design. Built like a desk.
We apply trading-desk standards to client work: precision, auditability, and zero product sales.
- We don't sell products. We build decision-quality research.
- We're comfortable with constraints: liquidity, governance, operational reality.
- You get artifacts: models, assumptions, and a trail you can revisit.
A process you can hold us to.
Clear phases, clear handoffs. You always know where we are.
