The Portrait Intelligence system

Two engines. One self-reinforcing flywheel.

Swing bigger for the setups you own, and stop giving back the gains you have already earned. Advanced Idea Gen finds the pitches in your zone. Post Mortems tell you which swings actually work.

Advanced Idea Gen

We codify the mental models behind your wins, then rank every name in your universe against them. You see the highest-conviction setups first, with the rationale already written.

  1. 01 · Codify your frameworks
    Translate your mental models into explicit, testable screening criteria with the Portrait analyst team.
  2. 02 · Back-test to validate
    Test each framework against your legacy ideas to confirm signal quality, then refine and refresh quarterly.
  3. 03 · Rank your universe
    Portrait's system evaluates and ranks every company in your universe against your ideal setups.
  4. 04 · Act on conviction
    Receive concise primers and full investment memos on top-ranked ideas, in your firm's template.

Post Mortems

Every fund has patterns it cannot see. We read your trade history against contemporaneous context to show what your winners share, and where you reliably leak P&L.

  1. 01 · Integrate your history
    Import your trades. We pull entry and exit dates, position sizes, and returns.
  2. 02 · Enrich with context
    We layer in what was happening at each company across the full lifecycle of every decision.
  3. 03 · Surface the patterns
    Systematic analysis across your full history reveals commonalities in winners and recurring behaviors in losers.
  4. 04 · Review the findings
    We deliver a written analysis with specific, actionable findings, then walk through it with your team.
