Buyer Brief.
Data-matched private-equity targets — verified.
Tell us your thesis criteria. We return a packet of Lodestar Verified issuers in coverage that match — each with a source-graded summary, freshness window, comparable cohort, and the issuer-authorized intro path. Discovery and pre-diligence in one packet.
What's in a packet
Six sections per matched issuer.
Each Buyer Brief packet contains every match you receive, with consistent data structure across issuers so cross-comparisons are clean.
Lodestar Verified summaries
Confidence-graded valuation snapshot for each matched issuer (range withheld; grade and freshness shown).
Source-grade composition
How much of each issuer's evidence is integration-verified vs self-reported. Quality of valuation, not just the number.
Public-tier comparable set
The peer cohort each match is benchmarked against, with NTM EV/Revenue and EV/ARR multiples.
Thesis-fit scoring
How closely each match aligns with your stated criteria — sector, stage, growth profile, capital structure.
Freshness window
Current (≤90 days) / Stale-180 / Stale-365 flag per issuer. No stale matches surfaced by default.
Intro path
Where the issuer has authorized intros (counsel, banker, direct), and what their disclosure controls allow.
Match criteria
Six dimensions of thesis fit.
The brief filters Lodestar coverage against your thesis. Issuer disclosure controls determine which matches surface and at what granularity.
| Dimension | Examples |
|---|---|
| Sector | SaaS Infra, Vertical SaaS, AI Infra, Marketplaces, Fintech, Climate, Cyber, Hardware, Deep Tech, Biotech |
| Stage | Series A through pre-IPO |
| Size | ARR / EV thresholds |
| Growth | YoY ARR growth, NRR, gross-margin profile |
| Capital structure | Cap-stack complexity, secondary activity, tender history |
| Confidence grade | Issuer-Verified or higher only / Transaction-Backed only / etc. |
Two buyer-side products
Buyer Brief vs Diligence Room.
Buyer Brief is discovery and pre-diligence. Diligence Room is sealed scenario analysis on a specific target you're already evaluating.
| Buyer Brief | Diligence Room | |
|---|---|---|
| Initiator | Secondary buyer / fund | Buyer / fund / auditor |
| Goal | Discovery + pre-diligence | Sealed scenario analysis on a target |
| Inputs | Buyer thesis criteria | Materials requester already controls (NDA-permitted) |
| Output | Matched-issuer packet | Lodestar Private Scenario Analysis (sealed) |
| Issuer involvement | Issuer disclosure controls govern surfacing | None (default; configurable) |
| Updates Verified Value | No | No |
| Crucible mode | Public + permissioned data only | Mode 2 (sealed enclave) |
Privacy posture
Issuer disclosure controls govern every match.
Lodestar Verified issuers control what's visible in third-party packets on a per-field basis. Buyer Brief never surfaces an issuer who has not authorized discovery for the buyer's thesis class.
Buyers see authorized matches only. No exposure of unauthorized issuers; no exposure of fields the issuer has opted out of; no stale matches (default freshness threshold: 90 days). Issuers can revoke discovery authorization at any time.
See Issuer Vault disclosure controls and the Trust Mark privacy posture for the issuer-side framing.
