How we decide
From the Foundational Letter, by Hamiz Awan and Richard Raizes.
Start from primary sources
We estimate more than 75% of what a company reveals sits outside its financial statements, in filings, calls, hiring and product releases. We collect it ourselves, with no third-party data, and read it at scale on the P21 Edge Platform.
Find where adoption shows in the numbers
People tend to overestimate new technology in the short run and underestimate it in the long run. We look for companies where adoption is already changing growth, margins or the cost to serve.
Hold the strongest through ups and downs
We believe companies with proprietary data and established customers are best placed to turn AI into lasting value. We hold the strongest of them through market ups and downs.

When to bring us in
The initiative is bigger than the team
The business has to move fast, and the team doesn’t yet have the bandwidth or specialist skills to get there.
The systems are in the way
Legacy systems, scattered data and outdated processes are holding the business back just as it’s ready to grow.
Your next big move can’t afford a slow start.
New markets, acquisitions, and ambitious growth plans require teams, technology, and operations that can deliver under pressure.
