Cross-Space Analysis is Now Live!

Cross-Space Analysis

One Project. Every Space. Ask a question once, and get the answer across your entire portfolio — not just one company at a time.

Every investor and operator we work with manages more than one Space. A fund tracks a dozen portfolio companies. An operating company tracks divisions, departments, or business units. Each Space does exactly what it's supposed to do: organize the documents, generate the Insights, and give you a clear picture of that one company or function.

But the questions that matter most rarely stay inside one Space. Which of our portfolio companies has the strongest gross margin trend? Which division is burning cash fastest this quarter? Getting that answer used to mean opening each Space one at a time, asking the same question repeatedly, and manually stitching the answers together in a spreadsheet — a process that ate the very time Peripheral was built to give back.

Today, that changes. Cross-Space Analysis is now live on Peripheral.

Projects can now span multiple Spaces at once. Instead of running the same question five or ten times, you run it once — across every portfolio company or department you choose — and Peripheral returns a single, consolidated analysis, sourced from the Fortress documents in each Space.

How It Works

Cross-Space Analysis runs inside the Projects you already use:

  • Create a Project. Select the Spaces you want to include — a handful of portfolio companies, a set of departments, or your entire portfolio.
  • Ask your question once. Peripheral reasons across the documents in every selected Space simultaneously, rather than treating each one as a separate, disconnected query.
  • Get one consolidated answer. Findings are organized by Space so you can see the portfolio-wide pattern and drill into any single company or department behind it.

Why It Matters

Portfolio-level judgment depends on portfolio-level visibility. A single company's numbers only mean so much in isolation — the real signal is in how it compares to the rest of the portfolio, and that comparison has always required manual work Peripheral can now do for you.

  • See the portfolio, not just the parts. Compare performance, risk, and trends across every company or department in one place, instead of piecing it together company by company.
  • Ask once, not repeatedly. The same question — “who's underperforming,” “who's ready for follow-on,” “which division needs attention” — now runs across your entire portfolio in a single pass.
  • No manual stitching. Peripheral consolidates the analysis for you, so the hours once spent copying answers into a spreadsheet go back into judgment and decision-making.

At Peripheral, our mission is to turn complexity into confidence, so you can get where you're trying to go faster. Cross-Space Analysis is the next step: an always-on advisor that doesn't just know one company or one department — it knows your whole portfolio, at once.
