What This Service Delivers
Investment Screening Analysis provides you with a methodical way to evaluate potential opportunities against criteria that reflect your objectives. Rather than reviewing companies one by one without structure, you receive a systematic assessment that identifies which candidates warrant closer attention.
You'll have clarity about which names meet your parameters, understand how they compare against your defined metrics, and receive documentation you can rely on when making portfolio decisions. This organized approach helps you allocate research time efficiently toward the most relevant opportunities.
Clear Candidate Identification
Receive ranked lists showing which opportunities meet your specified criteria, eliminating uncertainty about where to focus your attention.
Documented Methodology
Understand exactly how each candidate was evaluated, with transparent sourcing and calculation methods you can review.
Time Efficiency
Direct your research efforts toward candidates that align with your objectives rather than spending time on misaligned opportunities.
Strategic Alignment
Ensure evaluation criteria reflect your portfolio goals, risk parameters, and investment philosophy consistently.
The Challenge You're Facing
When you're responsible for identifying investment opportunities, the universe of possibilities can feel overwhelming. You have specific objectives about what belongs in your portfolio, yet evaluating hundreds of potential candidates individually would consume time you don't have.
Perhaps you've found yourself reviewing companies without a consistent framework, wondering if you're missing opportunities that meet your criteria or spending time on names that don't align with your strategy. The lack of systematic approach makes it difficult to feel confident you're focusing on the right candidates.
Common Situations We Address
You need to narrow a broad universe to a manageable set of candidates worth deeper investigation
Your team lacks bandwidth to apply consistent evaluation criteria across all possibilities
You want confidence that opportunities meeting your parameters haven't been overlooked
Previous ad hoc approaches left uncertainty about whether you evaluated the right universe
These challenges don't reflect a lack of capability on your part. They're natural consequences of trying to evaluate numerous opportunities without dedicated resources for systematic screening. What you need is a structured approach that applies your criteria consistently while documenting the process.
How We Address This
Our Investment Screening Analysis establishes clear evaluation parameters aligned with your objectives, then applies those criteria systematically across the candidate universe. You define what matters for your portfolio, and we handle the structured assessment work.
This isn't about imposing a generic framework. We work with you to establish screening criteria that reflect your specific requirements, whether that involves financial metrics, qualitative factors, thematic considerations, or combinations thereof. The approach remains flexible while maintaining methodical consistency.
Criteria Definition
We begin by understanding your portfolio objectives and translating them into specific, measurable screening criteria. This collaborative process ensures the framework reflects what actually matters for your investment decisions.
Universe Assessment
Each candidate is evaluated against your defined parameters using consistent methodology. Data sourcing is documented, calculations are transparent, and the process remains replicable for future screening work.
Prioritization Framework
Candidates are ranked based on how well they meet your criteria. You receive not just a list, but understanding of why certain opportunities score higher and where each candidate stands relative to your parameters.
Priority Analysis
Top-ranked candidates receive additional analytical attention with summary profiles covering key characteristics, potential considerations, and factors worth exploring in subsequent research stages.
Working Together
Initial Consultation
We start with a conversation about your portfolio objectives and what you're trying to accomplish. This helps us understand not just the technical parameters, but the strategic reasoning behind your screening needs. You share your timeline requirements and any specific considerations that should inform the approach.
During this phase, we discuss the candidate universe you want evaluated and any constraints on scope. If you're uncertain about exact screening criteria, that's normal at this stage. We can help translate your objectives into specific metrics and thresholds.
Criteria Development
You receive a proposed screening framework for review. This document outlines the evaluation parameters, data sources, and methodology we'll apply. You have opportunity to refine these criteria before analysis begins, ensuring they accurately reflect your requirements.
This collaborative refinement helps prevent misalignment later in the process. We want you feeling confident the screening approach will yield results relevant to your decision-making needs.
Analysis Phase
Once criteria are established, we conduct the systematic evaluation. Depending on universe size and complexity, this typically requires two to three weeks. You receive periodic updates on progress without needing to manage day-to-day details.
If questions arise during analysis about data interpretation or edge cases, we reach out for guidance. This ensures the final results reflect your judgment where professional discretion is required.
Deliverable Review
You receive comprehensive documentation including the ranked candidate list, summary profiles for priority names, and methodological appendix. The presentation format supports your workflow, whether you prefer detailed spreadsheets or executive summaries.
We schedule a discussion to walk through findings and address questions about specific candidates or methodology. This helps ensure you understand not just the results, but the reasoning supporting those conclusions.
The Process Takes 2-3 Weeks on Average
Timeline varies based on universe size and screening complexity. We provide specific estimates during initial consultation once we understand your requirements.
