PE Market Mapping
Build a continuously-maintained map of the PE landscape for any geography or segment.
A reusable, opinionated recipe for mapping the private equity landscape in any city, country, or segment. The skill asks five short scoping questions, runs a 10–20 search discovery sweep, and produces a five-file deliverable: METHODOLOGY, players, exclusion list, changelog, and a companion spreadsheet. Built for LPs who need real coverage, not a Google-scraped list.
What it does
- Forks on LP use case: exposure mapping (who invests there) vs coverage trip mapping (who can I meet)
- Asks five structured scoping questions before any research: use case, geographic boundary, strategy, size band, LP structure
- Runs a systematic discovery sweep with named search patterns, not a single-directory pull
- Outputs a locked 11-field schema per firm so future refreshes never silently drop information
- Produces five deliverables: methodology, players, excluded list, changelog, and a sortable spreadsheet
- Captures sub-strategy lines like Audax Origins or KKR Ascendant so mid-market scopes don't miss large-cap firms with qualifying funds

Limitations
- Works from public web sources and the model's own knowledge, not live fund data
- Coverage depth depends on how thoroughly each firm has been written about online
- Cannot tell you which GPs are currently fundraising or open to your LP cheque
- Outside FundFrame, does not connect to your existing sourcing pipeline or CRM. Inside FundFrame, this skill runs natively in the Investment CRM with live GP data
