The answer is in the spreadsheet. So is the problem.

No. It reads from it. Sage Intacct, Bill.com and Addepar connect directly, one entity to one set of books, and are tied out to each other every night; Addepar, Black Diamond, Orion, Tamarac and your custodians are read from the exports you already produce. Direct bank and custodian connections are built and switch on per family, and the exported book is the one your auditor already follows. You keep the systems of record; ParetoAlpha answers questions across all of them and checks that they agree.

FORTRESS classifies every position by the downside it shares, records the rationale, and logs your corrections. A framework that cannot find a position, a benchmark or a document says so rather than estimating around it. Your override is recorded with your name and the date.

Yes. Every answer shows the rows, filters and policy figures that produced it, and any action the system prepares is staged and approved by a named person, with the approval logged. The source chain is the point.

The tie-out you do by hand is already done. Every night, per entity: open payables in Bill.com against the AP account in Intacct, Addepar's value against the investment accounts, custodied cash against the ledger, each with the tolerance written down and every break explained with both figures and its likely cause. The five frameworks run against the new book every week. The consolidated questions the principal asks at quarter end are already answered, with the data set attached.

Because nothing here asks for your trust first. Before you send us anything you get a sealed proof of your own filed book. The controls are checked by machine on a schedule and published with their last result. The guarantees are enforced by writing one line. And the first ten founding clients pay nothing for ninety days, then keep their price for thirty-six months.

It does not estimate what a public filing returned. The cohort work is holdings facts only: how many names carry a book, what share sits in the ten largest, what was added and let go. Returns would need a market-data licence we do not hold. A number we cannot check does not go on a page. It does not need a live feed to start. The book loads from the exports your custodian, platform or accountant already produces, which is also the version your auditor can follow. Direct bank and custodian connections are built and switch on per client. It brings no index data with it. Comparisons run against the series the client licenses or supplies. The series in the demo are invented, labelled as invented, and the system refuses to attach them to a real client's report. It will not give you an opinion. It computes and records. The hurdle, the reserve, the benchmark and the buckets are the client's and its advisers'; the decision is the trustees' or the principals'. Nothing here is investment advice. It will not guess. Until the figures an answer rests on are on the ledger with a source and an approver, it names the missing input and waits. Once your policy numbers are signed, it answers, and the answer can be checked.

About two hours across the four steps that are yours: the profile, the NDA and order form, the entity list (usually with your CPA), and two calls. Custodian paperwork is ours to chase.
