Four live private equity tools · One starting point

What private equity task are you trying to complete?

Start with the work you need to do: calculate a return, make a deal decision, understand fund mechanics, or test whether a research claim can be repeated. This hub shows which system owns the task, what it produces and what evidence or agreement controls it.

03 · How the systems connect

One deal question can move through all four systems.

  1. 01
    Screen the opportunity.

    Deal Judgment identifies the gate, unresolved evidence and authorized next decision.

    Deal Judgment
  2. 02
    Calculate the economics.

    Returns Lab applies the selected method to disclosed inputs and keeps agreement-dependent questions explicit.

    Returns Lab
  3. 03
    Check the fund context.

    Fund Mechanics separates the deal from vehicle economics, governing terms and fund-clock incentives.

    Fund Mechanics
  4. 04
    Test the claim.

    Evidence Atlas shows whether a teaching point is supported, qualified, method-dependent or historical only.

    Evidence Atlas
Use boundary

Public tools, explicit inputs, no hidden authority.

Use synthetic or sanitized information. The tools provide educational calculations, structure and evidence review—not investment, legal, tax or regulatory advice. Governing agreements, current primary sources and authorized decision-makers control live work.
