Guides
The long answers, for firms that have bought AI.
Four guides for private equity, credit and hedge fund teams, each written for one question a buyer types before they write to us: why the licences go unused, why the model misreads a covenant, what the usage policy should say, and what a forward deployed engineer is for.
Each opens with the answer, then shows the working. The short answers, on cost, data and the first call, are on the questions page.
The guides
Four questions, one page each.
Tim Miner signs each one, and each shows the date it went up and the date its substance last changed.
- How to get a private equity firm to actually use AI
- You have 200 licences and forty people use them. Why utilisation is the wrong number, what adoption looks like inside an investment team, and the order the work goes in.
- How to make AI more accurate on investment documents
- Why a model misreads a CIM, a credit agreement or an LP letter, and the five things that cut the errors, starting with giving it the document itself.
- AI usage policy for an investment firm
- Why a fourteen-page policy produces the same result as none, and the one page the desk actually reads: what may go in, what may not, and who decides the edge cases.
- What a forward deployed engineer does for an investment firm
- The role, what it is scoped to, who builds, and why the process has to be the client's to run from the first day.
Questions
About the guides.
Who writes them, who they are for, and where to go next.
Who writes the guides?
Tim Miner, the firm's CEO. His name and both dates, when the guide went up and when its substance last changed, sit under each guide's breadcrumb.
Who are the guides for?
Teams at private equity, private credit and hedge fund firms, and the operations, IR and finance people around them, who have AI tools licensed and want the people to use them well.
Where are the short answers?
Cost, time, data, which model, how results are measured and what happens on the first call are answered on the questions page at /faq.
Ask the question the guides do not answer.
One address, read by the people who run the engagements. Tell us the question and roughly what your firm does, and the reply will be the answer rather than a meeting request.
