Is the way in which you got that information something you can divulge? I mean, was it talking to an employee or was it something exciting and far fetched? By the way, I presume you meant ">99%" or something similar.

By "this strategy", do you mean prediction based on a source of "alternative data"?

Interesting comment, in any case.
