An opportunity arrives
A source-linked screening assessment
Screen direct investments against the family’s mandate.
Assess the opportunity against the mandate, existing capital and the reasons behind earlier decisions.
Initial screening is detached from the family’s investment criteria.
Earlier pass rationale lives outside the current deal.
Portfolio overlap is discovered after diligence has begun.

Explicit exceptions and diligence questions
The team records its decision
A retained decision and its rationale
What good looks like
A record that supports the next review.
Retain the source, the investment rationale and the review decision. Keep subsequent updates separate from the original record.
Establish eligibility for further diligence
A mandate screen identifies whether an opportunity meets the family’s initial criteria. It supports the decision to investigate further. Management claims, valuation, legal terms and the wider investment case still require review before any commitment of capital.
Show each criterion and its evidence
Compare the proposed cheque, geography and revenue profile with the family’s criteria. Include sector exposure after the proposed investment. Avenset displays the inputs behind each check, preserves missing information and makes failed constraints visible in the assessment.
Carry the open questions forward
The screening memo should state which criteria are met, which exceptions need approval and which information is missing. Include relevant portfolio overlap and earlier pass rationale. Record the proposed next step, the reviewer and the diligence questions requiring an answer.
