Private-company data informs the decision. We anchor it at IC.
PrivCo provides financial intelligence on private companies — useful for context, comps, and reference data. Capital Refinery sits above it as the decision integrity layer that takes over once a specific deal moves into IC prep.
Different layers of the same workflow.
What PrivCo owns
Private-company financial intelligence and reference data.
Useful for company-level context, sector comps, and reference data on private companies. Right tool for the data and intelligence layer of the workflow.
What Capital Refinery owns
The IC decision and the drift after it.
Lane-aware IC memo from raw deal pack, Risk Signals graded against firm policy, source-backed numbers, IC anchor on approval, drift tracking, signed exports.
Why teams run both
PrivCo provides the context. Capital Refinery defends the decision.
Reference data informs the underwriting. Capital Refinery turns the underwriting into a defensible IC record. The two stacks are complementary — context plus decision integrity.
Institutional readiness measurement
PrivCo solves private-company data — financials, ownership, and firmographic context for U.S. private companies. Capital Refinery operates a category PrivCo doesn’t: institutional readiness measurement on the specific operating business — graded against the same 10-axis framework that buy-side ICs, lender credit committees, and LPs use to evaluate. The artifact carries a deterministic fingerprint and a public verification URL.
The two product surfaces don’t compete — they operate at different layers of the stack. PrivCo handles third-party private-company data; Capital Refinery handles structural readiness measurement on the specific business and decision integrity. See institutional readiness and the same-engine architecture for the dimension PrivCo doesn’t address.

Bring us a CIM and the source pack. Same-day diagnostic back.
Keep PrivCo if you need private-company financial intelligence. Use Capital Refinery when you need a neutral, evidence-backed readiness artifact that shows what will survive institutional review.
Capital Refinery is the institutional measurement layer. It does not replace PrivCo; it sits next to it. The decision to engage is a routing decision, not a swap.
