Portfolio-wide automation playbooks.
Automation baked into the investment thesis at entry, not bolted on later — playbooks built once and redeployed across the portfolio, with the reporting to prove the return.
01Where it breaks today
The pain points we hear before the first call ends.
Manual, data-entry-heavy “analog” processes still run portfolio companies
No clear rule of thumb for where automation pays back fastest
Automation misread internally as cost-cutting rather than a growth lever
Operators intimidated by the scope of what could be automated
Uncertainty about implementation feasibility inside a hold period
Portfolio reporting still compiled by hand ahead of quarter-close
02Where agents take over
Use cases, by area of the business.

Where the fastest paybacks tend to live.
