AI Consulting
WorkWise Solutions builds custom AI for PE and alternative investment firms. Deal screening, portfolio monitoring, investor reporting, IC memo automation. Fixed price, your data is never stored, working system in 6-8 weeks.
Generic AI tools weren't built for PE workflows. Your CIMs, your IC process, your LP reporting cadence. You need AI that fits how you actually work -- with security that meets fiduciary standards.
By Dr. Leigh Coney, Founder of WorkWise Solutions
Results So Far
Stanford's 2025 AI Index found AI adoption by organizations reached 78% in 2024, up from 55% in 2023. PE firms without an AI strategy are already behind.

Why PE Firms Need Specialized AI
Andrew Ng says AI transformation "may take 2-3 years but should show initial concrete results within 6-12 months" (AI Transformation Playbook, 2019). WorkWise compresses that starting point to weeks.
Only 5% of companies get real value from AI at scale. 60% report minimal gains despite big investment (BCG, "The Widening AI Value Gap"). The gap isn't the technology. It's how it was built and rolled out.
PE-Specific Data
CIMs, LP agreements, and portfolio financials need AI that understands their structure. Generic tools can't parse them properly. Your AI should know PE data as well as your analysts do.
PE-Specific Workflows
Deal screening, IC preparation, and quarterly reporting follow processes that off-the-shelf AI doesn't understand. We build AI around how your firm actually operates.
PE-Specific Security
Your data is never stored. Private model deployments. Compliance that consumer AI tools can't match. Your deal flow data stays yours.

Real Impact for PE Firms
Challenge
Manual CIM analysis consumed analyst capacity, limiting the number of deals the team could evaluate. Research that should take hours was taking weeks.
Solution
Automated Pre-Screening Memorandum Agent with zero-retention architecture, parsing CIMs, flagging EBITDA adjustments, and generating screening memos in minutes instead of days.
Impact
Research compressed from weeks to hours. The team now evaluates 4x the deal volume with the same headcount, allowing them to be more selective and responsive to opportunities.
Before & After: AI-Augmented PE Operations
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes PE-specific AI consulting different from general AI consulting?
PE firms have unique data types (CIMs, LP agreements, portfolio company financials), unique workflows (deal screening, IC preparation, quarterly reporting), and unique security requirements (zero data retention, compliance). General AI consultants don't understand these constraints. WorkWise builds AI systems purpose-built for the PE operating model.
How long does it take to deploy AI in a PE firm?
Most implementations go from Discovery Sprint to live deployment in 6-8 weeks. We start with a 2-week Discovery Sprint to map your process and identify high-impact opportunities, then move to phased deployment with your team running AI in parallel with existing processes before full cutover.
What ROI can PE firms expect from AI consulting?
ROI varies by use case. Deal screening typically saves 240+ analyst hours per quarter. IC memo automation reduces prep time by 70%. LP reporting automation cuts quarterly cycles from weeks to days. Most firms see full ROI within the first quarter of deployment.
Is our deal flow data safe with AI systems?
Absolutely. We deploy zero-retention AI architectures where your data never trains public models and never leaves your infrastructure. All systems are SOC 2 compliant with full audit trails, deployed within your cloud environment, and configured for your specific compliance requirements.
Do we need to change our existing processes to use AI?
No. Our AI systems are designed to integrate with your existing workflow, not replace it. We configure AI to work with your current CRM, data rooms, email systems, and reporting tools. The goal is augmenting your team's capabilities, not disrupting what already works.
