INSTITUTIONAL DECISION MEMORY

After the investment, which parts of the thesis still hold?

Vigil keeps the original investment case connected to what happens next, so the firm can see which decisions deserve another look and what prior outcomes should inform the next one.

Capture the reasoning at entry. Keep the evidence connected. Monitor the assumptions. Assign and record the human review. Carry the cited outcome into future decisions.

One continuous record, mapped to capabilities already available in Vigil.

  1. Capture
    01

    Put the investment case on the record

    Record the thesis, assumptions, expected outcome, alternatives, dissent, and the evidence available when the committee decided.

    Decision record · confirmed assumptions · cited evidence

  2. Connect
    02

    Keep evidence attached to the reasoning

    Connect operating reports, lender notices, market evidence, cloud files, and watched pages to the decisions they may change.

    Compiled sources · claim-level links · revision history

  3. Monitor
    03

    Re-read after the committee moves on

    Scheduled checks test newly compiled evidence against the assumptions still carrying the investment case.

    Watch status · last and next check · cited changes

  4. Flag
    04

    Show what deserves another look

    When evidence weakens or contradicts an assumption, Vigil names the affected reasoning and preserves the exact supporting claims.

    Material flag · affected assumption · source citations

  5. Review
    05

    Make accountability explicit

    A material flag can be assigned, acknowledged, reviewed, concluded, and closed with an action or no-action record. Monitoring continues according to the recorded disposition.

    Owner · acknowledgement · conclusion · action · next review

  6. Learn
    06

    Bring qualified precedent into the next decision

    When a comparable case appears later, Vigil can surface the prior decision only with its cited reason, completed review, recorded action, and frozen outcome.

Fictional product illustration

Terravita Apartments: one private-company lifecycle

This fictional demonstration uses normal Vigil product actions. It illustrates the workflow contract; it is not a customer result or confidential investment material.

Acquire Terravita Apartments — 2025 base case
At entry

The record captures the acquisition case, occupancy and NOI assumptions, financing terms, expected outcome, alternatives, and IC dissent.

Later evidence

Occupancy holds, while NOI guidance, management continuity, loan pricing, and exit-cap evidence challenge other parts of the case.

The flag

The affected assumption and its evidence remain linked to the original decision and the revision that triggered review.

The response

The review records a debt-adjusted downside action and requests closer monitoring of NOI, financing, renovation execution, and exit-cap evidence.

No advice or automated investment judgment. The firm decides; Vigil preserves what changed, what was reviewed, and what happened next.

After the flag

A review is a recorded sequence, not a notification.

The Terravita illustration follows the existing approved workflow contract. These are product states, not claims about a customer process.

  1. 1. Assigned

    A named owner and deadline put the flag in front of a person.

  2. 2. Acknowledged

    The owner confirms receipt before the substantive review begins.

  3. 3. Concluded

    The record retains the materiality conclusion, rationale, evidence considered, and human context.

  4. 4. Action or no action

    The reviewer records what the firm will do—or why no action is warranted.

  5. 5. Monitoring continues

    The disposition and next review date stay attached to the same decision.

  6. 6. Outcome recorded

    The later result freezes the decision, assumptions, review chronology, and outcome as they stood.

Learn

The outcome returns as cited precedent.

When a later comparable draft—Mesa Verde Apartments in the fictional illustration—contains a similar assumption, Vigil can surface Terravita as an outcome-qualified precedent.

The precedent links back to the cited Terravita decision, the exact completed review and recorded action, and its frozen mixed outcome. Prior cases remain context, not advice.
