Our Approach

Diligence-grade depth.
A fraction of the timeline.

We combine principal-led consulting rigor with a proprietary research infrastructure built on Anthropic's Claude, delivering work that traditional firms take months to complete in weeks.

Our Partnership with Claude

Research infrastructure that lets us move faster without cutting corners

We've built our entire research and analysis infrastructure on Anthropic's Claude, the leading enterprise AI platform. This isn't about replacing judgment with automation. It's about expanding what a principal-led team can cover, screen, and analyze, without sacrificing the depth that diligence demands.

Traditional firms staff engagements with junior teams who spend weeks gathering data before a senior partner ever looks at it. We eliminate that lag entirely. Every workstream is principal-led from day one, with Claude handling the scale.

10x coverageWe screen hundreds of targets, sites, or data points where traditional teams screen dozens. More coverage means fewer blind spots.
40+ interviewsPer engagement. The human judgment layer doesn't change. We talk to the same operators, executives, and domain experts that any top-tier firm would.
Principal-ledDev Devnani on every workstream. No delegation to junior analysts you've never met.

The result is diligence that's wider in coverage, faster in delivery, and identical in rigor to what you'd get from a traditional firm, at a fraction of the cost and timeline. Claude handles the research infrastructure. We handle the judgment.
