[See how Easel works](https://portraitresearch.com/easel/) Easel brings together four foundations: proprietary intelligence and agentic infrastructure from Portrait, and institutional knowledge and investment methodology from your firm. It investigates using company research, financial data, selected firm documents and defined research procedures. ### Proprietary intelligence Draw on [Portrait’s maintained company research](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/company-research/overview/)—business fundamentals, reporting history, relationships and investment debates—to interpret evidence and uncover connections. ### Agentic infrastructure Coordinate [financial data and research tools](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/easel/research-and-data/) across complex investigations. Turn the findings into [memos, spreadsheets and charts](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/easel/what-is-easel/#what-easel-returns) your team can inspect and use. ### Institutional knowledge Bring [your firm’s theses, memos and prior analysis](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/easel/your-library/) into investigations. Test assumptions and assess what new evidence means for your investment case. ### Investment methodology Define [research procedures](https://portraitresearch.com/documentation/easel/skills/) around your process: the questions to pursue, sources to prioritise, materiality thresholds and format of the final work. From the Portrait team ## Our standard for investment research We’re building Portrait to expand what investment teams can take on: the businesses you can understand, the ideas you can test and the developments you can follow. Your investment judgement should set the direction. That takes sustained work on both research and technology. We bring financial sources together, build company intelligence and develop the analytical tools and infrastructure that turn investment questions into substantial research. You can work directly in Portrait, or work with us to bring its research, tools and execution into your own agents and applications. These approaches can work together, in service of the research process your firm wants to build. Our commitment is to keep strengthening that capability alongside the people who use it. That means working through demanding questions together and understanding your standards. We take responsibility for the quality of what we deliver: work you can examine, challenge and take further. Tell us what you want to understand better, or what you’re building. We’d like to work on it with you. Signed, The Portrait team.
