The Foundation · building now
The secure base.
You will not use these directly. Everything else depends on them, which is why they are built and proven first.
- Shared address book
- One master list of people, organizations, and funds, so the same thing has a single identity everywhere instead of four different names.
- Identity resolution
- Matches the same person across email, Slack, and messages, and the same fund across accounting, the investor portal, and the spreadsheets.
- Automatic access rules
- Who can see what is enforced in the database by person, role, and sensitivity, not left to habit or good intentions.
- Sensitivity labels
- Every piece of information is tagged by how sensitive it is, with fixed rules for how each level may be handled.
- Complete audit trail
- Every action, and every change to a number, is recorded so it can always be reconstructed later.
- Secure credentials
- Passwords and keys are kept out of code and out of reach, closing the doors the old setup left open.
- One safe path to data
- There is no unguarded way to reach the firm's data; the guardrails are built so they cannot be bypassed.
The Portfolio Platform · designed, starts after the foundation
One trustworthy record of the whole book.
One record of the book
- Private equity and real estate together
- One store covering the whole book, instead of two separate hand-kept spreadsheets.
- Fund-level consolidation
- Positions held through several entities are rolled up to the fund automatically, from day one.
- Total look-through exposure
- Total exposure to a theme, with everything underneath counted, answered in one query.
- As of any date
- See the book as of any date, and answer what changed this quarter; today those are unanswerable.
- Source on every number
- Each figure points to the document it came from and the date it was true.
- Reconciles to the systems of record
- Ties out to the accounting system (Sage Intacct) and the investor portal (Juniper Square); it complements them, it does not replace them.
- Migration that has to tie out
- Moving the old spreadsheet in is gated by a set of checks; it fails loudly if the totals do not match.
Bringing documents in
- Documents read themselves
- Statements, capital calls, and distributions are turned into numbers automatically, across about a dozen document types.
- Trusted senders only
- Documents from unknown senders are rejected, not parsed.
- Confidence scoring and review
- Anything the system is unsure about is routed to a person, with its best attempt attached.
- Duplicate absorption
- The same document arriving from several inboxes is recognized and counted once.
- Careful rollout
- Every extractor runs quietly alongside the humans before it is trusted to run on its own.
- Human review queue
- Extracted figures land as simple confirm-or-correct cards; a person is always the final check.
- Accuracy audits
- A weekly sample is re-checked to make sure the automatic scoring stays honest.
Getting answers
- Ask in plain English
- Ask a question and get an answer, with its source and as-of date attached.
- Dashboards
- The key views of the book, refreshed from the record rather than hand-assembled.
- Refuses politely above your clearance
- An ask beyond your permission returns a link to the right place, never the figure itself.
- Data-quality report
- A weekly summary of what arrived, what has gone stale, and what is missing.
- Real-estate alerts
- Coverage and loan-to-value thresholds and upcoming loan maturities are watched for you.
- Capital-activity tracking
- Capital calls and distributions are captured with their source and become deadlines and briefing items.
The deal pipeline
- Sourcing to close
- Every live deal's stage is tracked from first look through closing, in one place (Linear).
- Only people move a deal forward
- The assistant can prepare and label, but only a human changes a deal's stage.
- Pipeline in the morning brief
- What moved overnight shows up in the daily summary.
- Pipeline analytics
- Conversion, time in each stage, and why deals died, drawn from the record with sources.
- Checked handoff at close
- Closing a deal opens a human-checked checklist; nothing becomes a book-of-record position until a person signs off.
Investor and cash economics
- Waterfall and preferred return
- Each investor's capital, entry date, and preferred return computed in the record, out of the shadow spreadsheet.
- Cash picture
- Bank balances and expected flows in one live view, instead of numbers copied by hand each week.
- Firm economics
- The firm's own fees and promote tracked alongside the deals they come from.
- Side-letter register
- Every non-standard investor term in one place, with who signed off; today these live in a few people's heads.
- Computed, never guessed
- All of this math is done by a fixed, versioned engine, never estimated by the assistant.
Where you work, and what it connects to
- Purpose-built Slack channels
- Separate channels for questions, the review queue, capital activity, data quality, and real-estate alerts, each with one job.
- Deal rooms
- A temporary channel per live deal, archived with the decision when it is made.
- Corrections are first-class
- When a source revises late, the original post is corrected and a note is added; nothing is quietly overwritten.
- Batched, not noisy
- Updates are grouped by default; only time-sensitive items interrupt.
- Reads your existing systems
- Read-only connections to the accounting system and investor portal, plus export handling where a system has no feed; one guarded credential store.
Cockpit · designed, starts after the foundation
A personal assistant for everyone.
Sorting your day
- One triaged stream
- Email, calendar, tasks, and messages read together and sorted by what matters and how sensitive it is.
- The morning brief
- Your priorities with a reason each, today's meetings, deadlines coming into range, and loose ends with their age.
- Quiet by default
- Batched delivery, quiet hours, and acknowledge-to-silence, so it never becomes another thing pinging you.
Doing the work
- Drafts in your voice
- Replies written to sound like you, tuned to the role you are wearing at the time.
- Approve, rewrite, or take over
- You stay in control of every send; end-of-day approvals clear like a card deck.
- It learns from your edits
- Your corrections make the next draft better.
- Meeting prep packets
- The people, the history, and the open threads for each meeting, assembled before you walk in.
- Cited answers from the firm's systems
- Answers drawn from the investor portal, the accounting system, and the record, as far as your role allows, with sources.
- Time-blocking
- Protects focus and books time on your work calendar for you.
Nothing slips
- Deadlines and open loops, unified
- Every due date and promise tracked across all your tools, with lead time so it finds you early.
- Promises kept
- A commitment made to an outside contact is resurfaced before it is forgotten.
- One view of a person
- The same contact recognized across every channel, so history is not scattered.
Safe by design
- Earns autonomy in stages
- It watches first, then drafts for approval, and only later does small things on its own, once proven.
- Never sends the sensitive things
- Legal, HR, and financial messages are never sent on their own, for anyone, ever.
- Incoming messages are information, not instructions
- Nothing arriving in your inbox can tell the assistant what to do.
- Sensitive content walled off
- Privileged and HR material is kept in a separate, sealed store.
- Access set by role
- Each person's reach follows their role, and can only be tightened, never quietly widened.
