Short answer

How do I figure out my annual deployment needs?

Your AI calculates the total capital required by analyzing your intended investment velocity and how often you run cohorts. You'll get a clear breakdown of the funding needed to sustain your specific pace.

The results you get.

Where your sizing data lands.

Once you provide your investment parameters, your AI generates these specific outputs.

CAPITAL

Total annual funding requirement

The AI sums up the total cash needed to meet your deployment goals. You get a single number representing your yearly capital target.

VELOCITY

Deployment pace analysis

The AI checks if your current capital can support your planned number of deals. It identifies if your pace outstrips your available funds.

COHORTS

Cohort frequency mapping

The AI calculates how many investment cycles you can run based on your funding. This shows how often you can realistically launch new cohorts.

HUMAN

Strategic adjustment needs

The AI flags where your deployment goals and capital don't align. You decide whether to raise more money or slow down your investment pace.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI processes your investment targets to build a sustainable financial roadmap.

    get_deployment_velocity

  3. Sum total requirements

    The AI aggregates the individual deployment needs into a single annual figure. This provides the total amount you need to have on hand.

    get_deployment_velocity

  4. Identify funding gaps
