SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Researching private companies is hard because there are no standardized financial reports, information is scarce and scattered, and AI-generated analysis tends to fill gaps with false precision. This Skill coordinates a multi-agent research team that pieces together multi-source data, cross-validates conflicting figures, and produces an honest intrinsic-value assessment for companies like Ant Group, Xiaohongshu, SpaceX, or Stripe. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six-Agent Parallel Research: Launches business-decoder, financial-detective, competitive-mapper, risk-governance-analyst, tech-ip-analyst, and signal-miner agents simultaneously, each with a detailed task template from the references file. - Cross-Validation & Signal Consistency: Arbitrates conflicting data across agents, checks whether growth narratives match hiring signals, and maps information into known/uncertain/unknown zones. - Confidence-Labeled Valuation: Every data point carries a source and confidence rating (high/medium/low), and valuation is triangulated via recent funding rounds, comparable companies, DCF scenarios, terminal-value back-casting, and transaction benchmarks. - Use Case: Ask it to research a pre-IPO unicorn; it returns a full report with a six-dimension scorecard, moat assessment, bull/bear cases, risk matrix, exit-path analysis, and a one-page invest/watch/avoid decision table saved to a reports directory. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run a private company deep research on a specific company name, for example requesting a full valuation analysis of SpaceX.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a private company with no public financials?

Use a multi-source reconstruction approach: pull data from prospectus drafts, parent-company filings, regulatory penalties, bond documents, funding announcements, and alternative signals like hiring trends and app metrics. Each data point should carry a source, date, and confidence rating, with at least two sources for key figures.

How to estimate the valuation of a pre-IPO startup?

Triangulate with multiple methods: adjust the latest funding-round valuation for liquidation preferences, apply comparable public company multiples with liquidity discounts, run DCF scenarios with explicit assumptions, back-cast from terminal market value, and benchmark against recent comparable transactions. Weight each method by confidence.

What alternative data signals reveal a private company's real health?

Hiring volume and role mix, app store rankings and review sentiment, patent filings, litigation records, domain registrations, and secondary-market share trades often reflect operations more accurately than press coverage. Contradictions between these signals and official narratives are the most valuable findings.

Does this research framework work for publicly listed companies?

No, it is explicitly designed for private companies without standardized financial reports. Listed companies have audited filings and market pricing, so a standard equity research workflow fits better than this multi-source reconstruction approach.

Why does AI analysis of private companies tend to be unreliable?

AI tends toward false conservatism when data is scarce and false precision when filling report templates, plus survivorship bias from mostly positive online coverage. The framework counters this with mandatory confidence labels, explicit separation of facts from inference, and permission to state that information is insufficient.
