STAGE 01Prior-look recall
Every target the fund has already seen — who looked, why it passed, what’s changed since. The second look starts from the first one’s work.
OutputA prior-look brief per target: the first pass, the pass reason, and what has moved since.
STAGE 02Diligence
RAM Core structures the diligence framework, populates it from the data room, and flags where the document set contradicts itself. It also carries the precedent forward: the last diagnostics deal cleared six weeks late on a regulatory filing, so the next diagnostics timetable ships with six weeks of clearance slack built in.
OutputA live diligence tracker, populated from source documents, with open items and precedent risks flagged.
STAGE 03Investment Committee
RAM Core drafts the IC memo — thesis, valuation, comparable transactions, scenario analysis, risk — with every figure cited to a source document and page, and gaps declared rather than papered over. It pulls forward what the IC pressed on in comparable deals, so the memo reaches the committee already anticipating its questions.
OutputA first-pass IC memo, every field sourced, with prior-IC feedback integrated.
STAGE 04Portfolio Management
RAM Core monitors the portfolio between board meetings: KPI tracking, board-prep drafting, and the operating context for each company held in one place. It also watches for what goes quiet — a relationship reads cooling at 34 days of silence and at risk after months, before the surprise reaches the board.
OutputBoard-ready KPI packs, plus a relationship board that flags cooling before it costs the fund.
STAGE 05Exit Preparation
RAM Core assembles the exit: the buyer universe, the banker briefing documents, and the precedent analysis that frames the value story — starting with the firm’s own record. The strongest comp is often already in-house: an 11.5× EBITDA exit the fund itself ran, cited to its closing documents.
OutputA buyer universe and precedent set anchored on the fund’s own closed exits.
