About
The Pulse Index™
The Pulse Index, Inc. was founded by Byron Holmes, Sr. Its Cultural Landscape Analysis™ methodology reads the country through experience, observation and fieldwork on the ground.
The method is proprietary but falsifiable. That is why every forecast published here is timestamped in advance and graded in public afterward.
