Situation
The fund lacked a comparable view across holdings
A private investment platform owned several businesses with different accounting systems, reporting calendars and definitions. Investment decisions relied on management narratives that could not be compared consistently.
The fund did not need identical charts from every company. It needed consistent definitions, cash visibility and a reliable way to test whether the operating initiatives assumed at investment were producing measurable value.
