Coming soon. This chapter is outlined below and being written. It's part of the Portfolio Intelligence course.
What this chapter will cover
- Compare investees on the same metrics, defined identically, so the comparison is fair.
- Normalise for size, stage, and context so a small early investee isn't unfairly ranked against a mature one.
- Name the confounds that could distort a benchmark, rather than presenting a clean-looking but misleading league table.
- Turn comparison into a decision tool for allocation and support, not just a scoreboard.
- Approach prompt: If you ranked your investees tomorrow, what hidden difference between them would make that ranking unfair?
Why it matters
Same metrics, normalised, confounds named.
