Here's the summary we promised within 24 hours. The short version: most of what eats your principal time — the LP update cycle, deal triage, capital-call chasing — is work an operator could run in the background, and a couple of those it could do better than by hand, catching submissions that currently sit for days. The numbers below are what that's worth to you, kept conservative; the deal-flow figure is directional.
What We Found
Three places it pays for itself

The clearest win is principal time on the LP update cycle — hours an operator can take off your plate. The deal-flow upside is real too; we track response-time improvement rather than claiming credit for deals you close.

Category What's happening now Est. Monthly Value
Capacity gap LP update cycle: 14–16 hrs/quarter (6 hrs EA @ $45/hr + 6–8 hrs principal @ $350/hr). Capital call coordination: ~8 hrs/closing, est. 4 closings/year. $1,318/mo
Lead speed gap Deal submissions: 30–40% triaged >72 hrs during busy periods. Conservative: 1 deal/year lost or outpaced due to response delay. Avg promote per transaction: $25,000+. $2,000+/mo*
Reliability gap Not identified as primary competitive gap in Walkthrough.
Collections gap Not identified as primary competitive gap in Walkthrough.
Total monthly value $3,318+/mo

* Deal flow figure is directional. We track response time improvement as a proxy; we don't claim credit for deals you close.

What We'd Build
Three operating improvements
  • LP Update System. Pulls deal-level data from SharePoint, assembles quarterly summaries, and drafts narrative sections for your review. Sends from your M365 account. LP cycle time drops from 14–16 hours to roughly 1–2 hours. Review and send.
  • Deal Submission Triage. Reads incoming submissions, runs top-line projections against your underwriting model, and delivers a structured brief to your phone and inbox within minutes. One reply triggers a templated follow-up from your address, with a short delay so it doesn't look automated.
  • Capital Call Coordinator. Tracks commitment confirmations, sequences wire instruction emails, follows up on unsigned docs, and logs every step. No more threading the same chain three times.

APGC builds, owns, and maintains all three. No new software to sign up for. No dashboard to manage.

Your Investment
Membership and guarantee
Tier 1
$500/mo
One workflow, end to end
Typical monthly value: $1,000–$3,000/mo
Tier 2 — Recommended
$1,500/mo
Everything client-facing
Typical monthly value: $3,000–$7,000/mo
Tier 3
$3,500/mo
Front office + back office
Typical monthly value: $7,000+/mo

All tiers include: all operating infrastructure built and maintained + Monthly Operations Report + 1 proactive improvement per month.

The $1,318/month in hard capacity costs alone outweighs the membership, and deal-speed upside takes it higher. And it's risk-free: if you're ever not happy with what it's doing, you don't keep paying.

How We Measure
The Monthly Operations Report

You don't track anything. The LP Update System logs every cycle: start time, completion time, LP count, documents sent. The deal triage system timestamps every submission and your response time. The capital call coordinator tracks signing rates and follow-up cycles.

Every month you get a one-page Monthly Operations Report: LP cycle time, deal response time, capital call close rates, what it caught, and the value to date, so you can see it working.

Your Data
Privacy and infrastructure

Your data stays in your own accounts — that includes LP names, commitment amounts, and deal submissions. The operator's memory of how your firm runs lives inside your own Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, not on an APGC server, and nothing about your business is ever fed into a shared or learning model. It's memory, not a model that trains on you. When the operator processes something, it runs through the Claude API — enterprise-grade, SOC-2 compliant, contractually barred from training on your data — and a private automation layer we operate; processed in the moment, never kept. Every client is fully isolated. You own the operator's memory: if you ever leave, you take it or we delete it.
