Quantify Stories

Make Better Decisions

Investors need to translate their research and
insight into judgments about an uncertain future
so they can make investment decisions today

Why is this so hard to do in practice?
Because the spreadsheets, memos and slides become divorced from the real conversation, the cases are hard to flex and compare, the assumptions are anchored with cognitive bias and the analysis fails to quantify the upside and downside odds clearly

1. Use Case Builder yourself to create logical cases, attach evidence and see upside and downside clearly

LOGICAL CASES
You Explore the Interactive Model,
Charts & Slides
Case Builder makes it easy to define cases, attach evidence from AI and human analysts to support assumptions, and consider upside and downside for anything you feel is important - e.g. beating or missing next year budget, cohort analysis, sales efficiency, operating expense leverage, 5 year cash flow forecast, peak margins @ scale, exit multiples, expected return from today’s price, etc, etc.

3. As your Challenge Team, BPN can deliver a dynamic Strategic Scenario Model you can adapt and update, and present our conclusions to compare with your own

About Us

BPN co-founders Mike Ryan and Peter Moore have collaborated over three decades, working together both at Goldman Sachs and Harvard’s endowment.

Ryan was Co-Head of Global Equity Products at Goldman Sachs. During this same time frame, Moore won multiple National Science Foundation research grants to build a graph database platform to Quantify Stories in Scenarios.
2016
Ryan and Moore licensed BPN’s patented graph database platform to the Harvard Endowment, where Ryan managed $18 billion and was a member of Harvard’s Investment Committee.

If you want our BPN team to review the data room (under NDA), provide independent research and advisory services, and deliver a complete model and slide deck, we can serve as a formal Challenge Team with conclusions and recommendations summarized in a memo to compare to your own.

 

 

Both Case Builder and Strategic Scenario Models can be built by your team, or ours. 

 

Both Case Builder and Strategic Scenario Models leverage our research management platform and interactive charts & tables library to enable your research team, final decision makers, and any approved 3rd party to:

  • Source evidence using AI and human research to keep key assumptions current and well-informed
  • Map the evidence to specific assumptions to inform the  debate that drives the decision
  • Explore upside and downside of each case, or see the expected value across all cases, using our interactive charts and tables
  • Create and save your own versions over time to reflect the views of different team members
  • Update and timestamp versions as new information emerges or views change
  • Displays specific cash flow forecasts, valuation analyses and other key metrics
  • Compare alternative investments in a consistent format that highlights differences in assumptions and results
