When expert calls cross language boundaries, something always gets lost. This working paper examines what that something is — and how to recover it.
The most dangerous gaps in primary research aren't the questions you haven't asked — they're the questions you don't know you need to ask.
LP due diligence on investment process is becoming more rigorous. The funds that pass it cleanly are the ones that can document exactly how they sourced, conducted, and synthesized their primary research.

Industry reports and expert calls are not substitutes for each other. They answer different questions. Here's a framework for knowing which one to reach for — and when using both creates the greatest insight advantage.
Disagreement among experts isn't a problem to be resolved — it's the signal. Here's how to extract maximum value from conflicting expert views.
In M&A scoping, the window between target identification and go/no-go decision is often 72 hours or less. Expert intelligence is the only mechanism fast enough to validate critical assumptions in that window.
The gap between an expert call and an investment memo is where most primary research value is lost. This annotation framework closes that gap.
Without a structured confidence framework, expert intelligence degrades into anecdote. This working paper proposes a 5-factor model for scoring primary research claims.
