Why this exists
You've been thinking in markets.
Faro thinks in decisions.
"PE/VC. Family offices. Hedge funds. Boards. Search."
Those are where the room is.
They are not what happens in the room.
Every consequential call your firm makes is one of five kinds of decision.
The label changes by industry.
The judgment underneath it doesn't.
Selection.
Which company. Which manager. Which executive. Which asset.
Intervention.
Replace the CEO. Reprice the position. Change strategy. Escalate the board issue.
Allocation.
How much capital. Which fund. Which risk.
Conviction-change.
What new evidence should change what we believed.
Exit.
Sell. Hold. Fire. Settle. Stop.
Faro doesn't just remember what your firm decided.
It knows what kind of decision this is, and what your firm has learned every other time it faced one like it, no matter what room it happened in.

FAQ
Common questions.
What does TheCipher actually do?
◆ Faro turns your firm's existing deal memos, board notes, and portfolio reviews into compounding institutional intelligence. It extracts the judgment behind every decision, structures it against context, and resurfaces it when a new decision rhymes with an old one. No new system your team has to feed. TheCipher works from the materials and workflows your firm already produces.
What do I have to do differently day-to-day?
Nothing. Your team keeps writing memos, taking board notes, and running portfolio reviews exactly as they do today. Faro listens to what you are already producing and captures the judgment within it.
How is this different from search or AI chat tools?
Search retrieves what was written. AI chat can reason over the information it is given. Neither can independently recreate the proprietary history of how your firm formed judgments, made decisions, and experienced outcomes. Faro builds a Decision Ledger from that history and surfaces it exactly when the next decision rhymes with an old one.
What about confidentiality?
Every firm's data is completely isolated in a single-tenant architecture. Nothing is aggregated, shared with other clients, or used to train models. SOC 2 compliance is in progress and full security documentation is available on request.
Your firm has already paid to earn its judgment. Faro makes sure the next consequential decision benefits from it. See what your first Decision Ledger looks like using the history your firm already has.
