For investors holding a portfolio

A one-off commercial assessment hands you a photograph. We install the instrument that keeps measuring — one comparable readiness verdict per company, defensible to the people judging you.

We take on four portfolio relationships a quarter.

PortCo Diagnostic

One company. The proof.

Bring one company you hold. We build its revenue readiness baseline together in a working session — real data, one defensible verdict, the binding constraint named. You keep the artifact whether or not we go further.

  • Live working session, not a demo
  • A readiness baseline you can forward to your partners
  • The single binding constraint, named and evidenced
  • Full refund if the diagnostic surfaces nothing actionable

Portfolio Intelligence

A fund quarter. Several companies.

The same readiness instrument installed across a set of portfolio companies — comparable, longitudinal, and attested. Quarterly reviews put one consistent verdict in front of the partnership instead of a stack of founder anecdotes.

  • Comparable readiness across every company measured
  • Quarterly Readiness Review cadence
  • Board- and LP-ready readouts
  • Cross-company pattern findings the individual companies can’t see

Firm-Wide Deployment

The operating standard for the whole portfolio.

Every company you hold measured on one instrument, with an embedded operator working the findings. Baselines ratified with you, structures linked to KPIs you verify independently, an explicit cap.

  • KPI-linked engagement structure with an explicit cap
  • Baseline ratified before anything is measured
  • Embedded operator working the findings, not just reporting them
  • Continuity across quarters, holds, and exits

Bring one company. No deck, no commitment.

THE HUMUS & SHORE GUARANTEE

Start with Sprint 1 (30 days). If we don't deliver measurable improvement in your active deals and clear diagnostic insights, opt out with a full refund.

For complete engagements, if we don't hit your success metrics, we'll continue working at no additional cost until we do.

We own your outcomes.
