Every assumption reviewed. Every computation signed off. Every query resolved. All tracked.
Origin Zero builds governance into the valuation workflow itself. Analyst sign-off, investment director approval, open query management, and full audit trails are not separate processes. They are the process.
Governance shouldn't slow you down. It should be how you work.
Most infrastructure teams treat governance as something that happens after the analysis. A layer of approvals and documentation bolted on at the end of a quarterly cycle. The result is rushed sign-offs, incomplete audit trails, and a gap between the analytical work and the governance record.
Origin Zero takes a different approach. Every analytical step in the platform has a built-in review and approval workflow. Governance happens as the work happens. By the time the quarterly cycle closes, the audit trail is already complete.
This extends to track record. Origin Zero calculates and stores 10+ KPIs per investment, independently verified and signed off within the platform. No more track records assembled from spreadsheets. The numbers that support your fundraising are the same numbers that passed through your governance workflow.
The workflow
Three steps. One governed cycle.
Analyst submits.
When an analyst completes their work, they submit through the platform with their written overview and supporting evidence. The submission is logged with exactly what changed, when, and the analyst's rationale.
Director reviews and approves.
The director sees the submission alongside full analytical context: three-layer assumption comparison, sensitivity impact, bridge outputs, and documented reasoning. They approve, reject, or raise a query. All within the platform.
Queries tracked to resolution.
If the director has questions, they raise a query directly against the specific assumption or output. The analyst responds within the platform. The full thread is preserved as part of the permanent record.
What the governance layer covers
Every step. Every decision. Every record.
Assumption sign-off
Every input assumption requires analyst sign-off before it enters the working case. The analyst documents rationale, links evidence, and confirms the forecast. The director reviews and provides final approval. No assumption goes unreviewed.
Computation verification
Key outputs including valuation bridges, IRR decompositions, sensitivity results, and coverage ratios are presented for review with full traceability to the underlying model. The director verifies that numbers tie back and the narrative is consistent.
Scenario governance
Every bespoke scenario run, adopted, or rejected is logged as a governance event. The platform records which assumptions were stressed, who ran it, the analyst's overview, and the director's decision. Same sign-off rigour as base case.
Open query management
When a reviewer raises a question, it becomes a tracked query. Queries have status (open, responded, resolved), are attributed to specific users, and form part of the permanent audit record. Nothing falls through the cracks of an email thread.
KPI and track record sign-off
Origin Zero calculates and stores 10+ KPIs per investment: IRR, MOIC, cash yield, coverage ratios, and more. Each metric is independently verified and signed off within the platform. No more track records assembled from Excel files.
Full audit trail and task tracking
Every action is logged: who changed what, when, why, and who approved it. Each valuation period generates a structured task list so directors see exactly where each asset stands. The audit trail is exportable and structured for external review.
Nothing undocumented, nothing unsigned
Everything the platform tracks, automatically.
Every assumption change.
What the value was. What it moved to. When. Who submitted. Who approved. The documented rationale. The linked evidence.
Every scenario decision.
Which assumptions were stressed. The impact on every metric. Whether the case was adopted or rejected. Who made the call. The supporting context.
Every query and response.
Who asked. What they asked. Against which assumption or output. The analyst's response. Whether resolved or escalated. The full thread, permanently preserved.
Every workflow milestone.
When the model was synced. When inputs were updated. When distributions were confirmed. When bridges were reviewed. When sign-off was completed. A complete timeline for every asset, every period.
Every KPI in the track record.
Which metrics were calculated. The computation source. Who verified. Who signed off. The period. The methodology. 10+ KPIs per investment, calculated and stored by Origin Zero.
Every fundraising data point.
The track record numbers shared with prospective LPs are the same numbers that passed through the governance workflow. Calculated by the platform, reviewed by the analyst, approved by the director. Governed.
The impact
What governance that works actually delivers.
Audit preparation becomes an export, not a project.
When the entire valuation process is captured with sign-offs, rationale, queries, and resolution threads, responding to auditor requests is a matter of pulling a report.
LP transparency requests are answered instantly.
Institutional LPs increasingly demand evidence of robust valuation governance. Origin Zero provides a structured, exportable record of every decision, every review, and every approval.
Regulatory compliance is embedded.
Whether the requirement comes from AIFMD, Solvency II, or internal risk frameworks, the governance layer provides the evidence base compliance teams need.
Team accountability is clear and fair.
When every step is attributed, there is no ambiguity about who did what. Analysts get credit for thorough work. Directors have visibility into progress. Accountability without blame.
Track records are governed, not assembled.
Fundraising requires defensible performance data. When 10+ KPIs per investment are calculated by the platform and signed off through the same governance workflow, the track record isn't a spreadsheet exercise.
Independent verification replaces manual reconciliation.
No more cross-checking Excel files against internal memos to confirm a return figure. Every KPI is computed from the model, stored in the platform, and carries a full sign-off chain.
Governance that proves itself.
