What it does

Once installed, the agent analyses a private (unlisted) company such as a pre-IPO firm by splitting the work into six lenses: business model, financial reconstruction, competition, risk and governance, technology and IP, and alternative signals like hiring or litigation. It labels every data point as high, medium or low confidence, keeps verifiable facts separate from its own inference, and is told to say 'I don't know' rather than invent numbers. The output is meant to be a fair-value range, exit-path analysis and a map of information gaps.

Great for

  • Investors or analysts evaluating an unlisted company before a funding round or secondary purchase
  • Students or researchers learning how private-company valuation is approached
  • Anyone who wants a disciplined checklist that flags weak evidence instead of hiding it

Skip it if

  • Making investment decisions without independent verification: the skill relies on web search and public reporting, and its own text warns that online information is biased toward company-friendly news
  • Listed companies, where standard public filings and market data are a better basis; the skill is scoped to unlisted firms

Try asking

  • “Research Ant Group's business model and estimate a fair-value range with confidence labels”
  • “Build an information-gap map for a private AI startup before a secondary share purchase”
  • “Run a six-lens analysis of a pre-IPO company and cross-validate the findings”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Ask for the information-gap map first to see where evidence is thin before reading valuation outputs
  • Check the source and confidence label on every key figure, and treat red or single-source items as unverified
  • Provide your own primary documents (filings, term sheets) where you have them, since they outrank web reporting
