The portfolio

Every company you hold, in one book that says who needs a person today

A holding company, a fund, a group finance function or an adviser with twelve clients does not want twelve dashboards. The book adds every twin up, ranks the ones that need attention by every reason they have, and puts one shared view of the world into all of them so the answers can be compared.

Nothing on the book is a new number. Every figure is the sum of the ledgers, and every sentence on a row traces back to the screen it came from.

Twelve companies is not twelve times the work if the software does the ranking. It is one list, in the order the day should go.

The attention list adds up every reason a company has: drifting actuals, a decision past review, a resilience score in the red, a runway shorter than a hiring cycle, a model standing on defaults. The company at the top has the most going wrong, not the earliest date.

How it reads

Three things the book does that a spreadsheet of companies cannot

01

Ranks the day

Each company carries its own governance: the monitor state, the decisions past review, the resilience grade, the open alerts and the runway the model gives. The book reads them all, weights each reason, and sorts. Click a reason and you land on that screen of that company.

  • Drifting actuals weigh five
  • A short runway weighs five
  • A decision past review weighs four
  • A model mostly on defaults weighs two

Puts one world into every model

The house view is the set of numbers about the world your companies should share: the interest rate, wage drift, how fast the market grows, what a rent review does. Keep it once. Apply it to any ledger and the row lands with the origin "house view", locked, with a snapshot taken first, so each twin says where the number came from and every answer across the book stands on the same world.

  • Any number in the dictionary can be a house number
  • A band travels with it

Asks every company the same question

Type one question and each twin answers on its own record, in its own time box, with its own confidence and the number it stood on. The book then says whether they agree. Eight companies leaning the same way is a finding; three up and five down is a different finding, and the book says which.

  • Nothing is stored, because a survey is not a decision
  • The surest and least sure answer are named
  • Open any row and the full analysis is one click away

Concentration

The book moves when its biggest company does

The share of the book each company is gets drawn as a bar, and the plain sentence at the top says so when one company is more than half of it. It is the number a holding company knows and a spreadsheet of subsidiaries hides.

  • Shares of annual run rate, from the ledgers
  • The largest share, named
  • Monitor states and resilience grades across the book, as two stacked bars
16%your largest accounttop five: 44%everybody else: 35 accounts, 19%one bar, ordered largest first. Losing the first segment is the scenario on this page.

One currency

A total that adds euros to dollars is not a total

A base currencyThe book is shown in one currency, chosen once for the account.
A rate per currencyUnits of the base per one unit of each currency your companies trade in. Typed by hand and dated, or fetched once a day from the European Central Bank's reference set, with the day the rates are for printed on the card.
Honest about the restA company with no rate is summed unconverted and named in the sentence at the top, so nobody reads a mixed total as a clean one.

Who sees what

Seats carry across the book

OwnersSee every twin they hold, edit the house view, apply it anywhere, and ask the book.
ReviewersSee the twins their seat covers and can apply the house view to them, because applying it is a change to the ledger and a change needs a signature.
Analysts and viewersRead the book and open any company. Applying the house view is not theirs to do.

One book. Every company. The day in order.

The portfolio is on the Boardroom plan and above. Build the first twin and the book starts with one row.
