Better data drives better decision making

GPs increasingly need better access to their fund and portfolio data. However, data is often held in an array of sources, creating significant challenges in data aggregation, management and quality assessment.

Assure gives GPs a tool to effortlessly aggregate and validate data from multiple service providers and systems, to curate a trusted, universal book of record. It enables GPs to take control of their data, and ensures its quality and accuracy for effective use in downstream tools and firm-wide decision-making.

A multi-layered process, with a human-in-the-loop

Across the entire data validation workflow below, Lantern incorporates an essential ‘human-in-the-loop’ element. This enables complex or unusual data issues to be flagged for review by our private market accounting gurus, who bring deep domain expertise, ensuring that nuances in the data are addressed accurately and efficiently.

    1. Extract

    We extract structured data directly from source (e.g. accounting platforms and data collection tools) in addition to unstructured data, such as Audited PDFs, ingesting data automatically.

    2. Transform

    Data is then transformed into our proprietary data model, where we validate the completeness and consistency of data, ensuring all necessary data fields are filled and formatted correctly.

    3. Interrogate

    Advanced checks are carried out, mirroring the analytical rigour of trained private markets accountants, to ensure logical coherence and integrity within the data.

    4. Compare

    Finally, we extract data from audited documents using PE-trained AI, then compare it with source data to identify and rectify breaks and discrepancies, offering an unmatched level of assurance to GPs.

    We're no longer reliant on internal spreadsheets - we've improved the quality of data in underlying systems and our entire firm is using the same, trusted dataset.
