They rebuild the data.
We never lose it.
Chronograph built a machine-learning engine to reconstruct structured portfolio data out of founder Excel packs and PDF statements. It is genuinely ahead of anything else in the category. We attack the same problem one step earlier: the founder fills in a form.
Two products, neither priced in public.
Chronograph does not publish pricing. The platform is split into Chronograph PE for general partners and Chronograph LP for institutional allocators, licensed separately — so the question of what a fund actually pays depends on which of the two you need, and both run through sales.
Where the line actually falls.

| DSignal CRM & pipeline | Included | Not offered |
| Founder-facing portal | Founders log in and report directly | Not offered — data arrives by email |
| Time to onboard | Same day | 4–8 weeks |
Where Chronograph wins.
Analytical depth on data you already have. If your reporting arrives as unstructured PDFs from companies you cannot compel onto a portal, their ingestion engine is doing work ours simply does not do. Allocators who need look-through across funds, secondaries and co-investments should buy Chronograph.
The look-through, built against the reporting pack you actually receive.
For the companies you cannot put on DSignal Founder, our services team builds the extraction against your real reporting pack — the PDFs those companies genuinely send, not a generic template — and configures the look-through structure you report on. Where it needs product work rather than configuration, it goes to the engineers who ship the platform with a stated date, and the fix lands for every fund including yours.
When the founder submits revenue, burn, headcount and narrative directly, the extraction problem does not exist. That works when you have portal leverage over your portfolio — and it does not when you do not.
