Expert calls inform the thesis. We anchor it at IC.
Tegus is expert-call and qualitative research infrastructure — strong for industry interviews, primary research, and qualitative due diligence. Capital Refinery sits above it as the decision integrity layer that takes the qualitative thesis and turns it into a defensible IC record.
Different layers of the same workflow.
What Tegus owns
Expert calls and qualitative research.
Strong for industry interviews, primary qualitative research, channel checks, competitive intelligence. Right tool for qualitative diligence and thesis-building.
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
Tegus informs the thesis. Capital Refinery defends it.
Qualitative inputs feed the thesis. Capital Refinery makes the thesis defensible — graded against firm policy, anchored at IC, tracked for drift afterward. The two layers fit naturally together.
Institutional readiness measurement
Tegus solves expert-call research, transcripts, and qualitative diligence corpus intelligence. Capital Refinery operates a category Tegus 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. Tegus handles qualitative research and expert-network intelligence; Capital Refinery handles structural readiness measurement on the business itself and decision integrity through the lifecycle. See institutional readiness and the same-engine architecture for the dimension Tegus doesn’t address.
Already running Tegus for qualitative diligence? Add the IC layer above it.
Bring us a deal where you've done the research and need to lock the decision basis. Same-day diagnostic pack back.
Keep Tegus if you need expert-call research and corpus 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 Tegus; it sits next to it. The decision to engage is a routing decision, not a swap.
