The data layer beneath your portfolio tool.
Your portfolio monitoring tool rolls up whatever each company reports. We make sure what each company reports is defined, defensible, and ready for the board pack.
Your portfolio tool is only as good as what feeds it.
You built a portfolio function. You bought the monitoring tool. Three weeks before every board pack, the operating partner is still reconciling definitions by hand.
Eight companies, eight definitions
Every portfolio company calculates gross margin, working capital, and cash conversion differently. When the roll-up lands, the numbers do not mean the same thing.
Three weeks of manual chase
Every board pack requires the operating partner to chase, translate, and reconcile. Time that should go into value creation is spent on formatting.
Errors surface too late
The first time anyone spots an inconsistency is the week before the board meeting. By then it is too late to fix it properly.
Standardisation that holds across the portfolio.
DataSkye sits underneath your portfolio reporting tool. We do the work the tool cannot: standardising what each company reports before it rolls up.
Standardised KPI definitions
One definition of gross margin, EBITDA margin, working capital, and cash conversion. Applied consistently across every portfolio company, documented and versioned.
Pre-pack validation
Before the board pack goes out, every number is checked against source systems. Variance flagged, explained, resolved. The operating partner gets a pack that holds up.
Change-aware maintenance
When a portfolio company changes ERP, acquires, divests, or restructures, the standardisation logic updates with them. Not a point-in-time project that decays.
Start with one company, scale to the portfolio.
Most PE engagements begin with a single portfolio company as proof of concept. We prove the method on one, then scale across the rest.
