Sources Used

SEC, Private Fund Adviser Overview: https://www.sec.gov/about/divisions-offices/division-investment-management/private-fund-adviser-overview

- Implication: the pack needs Form ADV, Form PF, private fund reporting awareness, and a strong distinction between registered adviser obligations and exempt adviser workflows.

SEC, Announcement Regarding the Private Fund Advisers Rules: https://www.sec.gov/announcement-regarding-private-fund-advisers-rules

- Implication: the pack should not hard-code the vacated 2023 private fund adviser rules as active requirements, but should still organize operating risk around disclosure, fees, expenses, valuation, conflicts, and investor treatment.

SEC, SEC Division of Examinations Announces 2026 Priorities: https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025-132-sec-division-examinations-announces-2026-priorities

- Implication: the pack needs compliance program readiness, fiduciary duty awareness, custody-rule awareness, alternative investment risk, newly registered adviser readiness, and Regulation S-P/data safeguards review cues.

SEC, Investment Adviser Marketing: https://www.sec.gov/investment/investment-adviser-marketing

- Implication: fundraising decks, track record materials, testimonials, endorsements, third-party ratings, hypothetical performance, and case studies need review workflows and substantiation files.

ILPA, Private Equity Principles: https://ilpa.org/industry-guidance/principles-best-practices/ilpa-principles/

- Implication: LP alignment, governance, transparency, economics, disclosures, fund structure, key person, and LP rights should show up in fund operations and LP obligation workflows.

ILPA, Reporting Template: https://ilpa.org/industry-guidance/templates-standards-model-documents/updated-ilpa-templates-hub/ilpa-reporting-template/

- Implication: quarterly reporting, fees, expenses, carried interest, and LP transparency should be operationalized as recurring reporting inputs, not improvised each quarter.

AICPA & CIMA, Valuation of Portfolio Company Investments of Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds: https://www.aicpa.com/cpe-learning/publication/valuation-of-portfolio-company-investments-of-venture-capital-and-private-equity-funds-and-other-investment-companies-accounting-and-valuation-guide-OPL

- Implication: valuation support should track unit of account, calibration, transaction inputs, control and marketability factors, backtesting, and evidence quality for qualified valuation review.

NVCA, Model Legal Documents: https://nvca.org/model-legal-documents/

- Implication: venture deal execution should assume legal-document workflows, investor rights, voting, ROFR/co-sale, financing documents, and counsel-led tailoring rather than ad hoc term tracking.

PitchBook-NVCA, Venture Monitor: https://nvca.org/pitchbook-nvca-venture-monitor/

- Implication: VC workflows need explicit handling for concentrated AI-driven markets, tight liquidity, fundraising pressure, weak distributions for many funds, secondaries, and exit planning.

McKinsey, Global Private Equity Report 2026: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/private-capital/our-insights/global-private-markets-report/private-equity

- Implication: PE workflows need stronger operational value creation, purchase-price discipline, exit readiness, DPI/liquidity awareness, and portfolio operating support because cheap leverage and multiple expansion are less reliable return drivers.

Design Translation

Investment Pipeline & Portfolio exists because a private capital firm's investment engine must connect thesis, sourcing, diligence, IC, closing, portfolio monitoring, value creation, follow-ons, and exits.
Fund Operations & Investor Relations exists because fund operations, valuation support, LP reporting, fundraising, disclosures, and compliance controls are not back-office details; they shape trust and execution quality.
The atom roster intentionally includes both front-office investment support and control functions, so the workspace starts with deal velocity and governance discipline.
Projects are draft because the pack should provide structured operating state while preserving human ownership over investment decisions, legal conclusions, valuation marks, compliance determinations, and LP-facing representations.
