The memo is the job.
Assembling it is not.
Most of an analyst week is retrieval: finding the deck, finding who knows them, finding what they said last quarter. That part is the part a system should already know.
Retrieval stops being your job.
Overnight inbound is already triaged
DSignal Score ranks the night's applications on team density, warm-path strength and round shape. You start on the three worth a call instead of reading fourteen decks to find them.
Warm paths, without asking around
The relationship graph is built from the firm's own connected mailboxes and calendars, so "who here knows Meridian's CTO" is a query, not a Slack thread.
The memo drafts itself from the record
DSignal FundIQ assembles traction from the founder's own MIS submissions, the warm path from the graph, and comparable rounds from the pipeline. It proposes. You write the judgement, and you keep the byline.
References file themselves
The referee gets a private link and submits directly — no account to create, no calendar to align. The response lands on the deal record and is summarised there, next to the other three you sent out on Monday.
Diligence requests live where the deal does
The checklist, the documents, the outstanding asks and who they are with sit on the deal record. Nothing is "in the other folder".
A portfolio question arrives at 16:30
"How many of ours are below nine months of runway?" is one query against the founder submissions, answered before the partner leaves the room.
An analyst's edge is what they noticed. It should not be how fast they can find a PDF.
The work that makes an analyst valuable is judgement about companies. Everything on this page is the retrieval around it, which is the part that should be automatic.
