Five disciplines, three lenses, one coherent view.
Every fund and mandate is reviewed through the intersection of technology, law, returns, ESG and operations — analyzed through transparency, compliance and risk. Instead of siloed memos, each review weaves five perspectives into a single narrative. This makes it easier to brief investment committees and align with internal risk and advisory teams.
Surfaces how policies, reporting, and stewardship practices align with investor expectations and emerging ESG standards.
Reviews the robustness of data infrastructure, automation and tooling that underpin your investment and reporting workflows.
Connects risk findings back to performance objectives, highlighting where governance may affect realized outcomes.
Assesses processes, controls, and staffing across the investment lifecycle to identify execution and hand-off risks.
Maps fund structures, disclosures, and investor communications to evolving legal and regulatory frameworks.
Transparency
Assesses completeness, consistency and traceability of data and disclosures across funds and counterparties.
Compliance
Tests whether policies, processes and records align with regulatory regimes and investor requirements in each jurisdiction.
Risk
Surfaces structural, legal, operational and ESG exposures that could materially affect capital preservation or returns.
Process
A five-step path from upload to ongoing monitoring.
Each phase is designed for LP teams that are time-poor but standards-rich, with clear handoffs and notifications at every stage.
Upload documents
Securely ingest fund docs, side letters, ESG reports and operational materials in minutes.
Await analysis
Our expert team and engines go to work — mapping, tagging and triaging what matters.

Human expertise scaled — not replaced.
We believe in the power of connecting human advisory with powerful technologies under the hood so that your team has the best of both when it comes to detailed analysis, insights, and comprehensive reporting, and with decades of experience in the field we've developed a proprietary solution that delivers powerful analysis and granular visibility — all with a human touch.
125+ Years
Combined years of our core advisory team's private markets experience.
We built this so LPs could see around corners and make informed, future-forward decisions – not just react to annual reports and quarterly letters.
