NEURACAP

For investment banks

Investment banking coverage, without the analyst-weeks

Coverage teams follow more names every year without more people to follow them. NeuraCap does the gathering — filings, estimates, peers, transactions — and hands back a comparable set, a precedent record and a valuation range with the reasoning attached.

  • Cover more names
  • Tailor analysis for origination
  • Build the comps and precedents
  • Frame a defensible range
  • Keep the sector view current
97.5%of figures confirmed against two independent sources
540,000+SEC filings processed, 2015 – 2026
40M+facts extracted from SEC EDGAR

The current state

What slows this down today

None of this is a skills problem. It is that the first four days of any piece of coverage work go on assembling things that already exist somewhere.
  • The comparable set is a week of work

    A real peer group is read, not filtered. Someone works through business descriptions, pulls fundamentals, calendarises them to a common year end, then hunts the data error that threw a multiple out tenfold.

  • Precedents live in three places and disagree

    Announced values, disclosed multiples and the version in the last pitch book rarely reconcile. The deal that settles the argument is often three years old, in a sub-sector nobody screened.

  • Coverage decays between meetings

    A sector view built in March is a liability by September. Refreshing forty names by hand is nobody’s job, so the pack goes out with numbers that were right two quarters ago.

  • Origination is a volume problem

    The analysis that wins a mandate is built for that company specifically. Doing that by hand across thirty names is not a plan, so most outreach goes out generic.

The change

How NeuraCap changes the workflow

Two parts of a pitch take the most time and carry the most risk: the peer set behind the range, and the deals you claim set the market. Both are built for you, and both show their working. The full method is on the methodology page.

Comparables and valuation

A range you can defend when it is challenged

The problem
A peer set and a valuation range take a week of analyst time before anyone starts arguing about the answer.
Why it matters
The range is the part the client remembers. If you cannot say why a company is in the peer set, the range is not defensible.
In NeuraCap
NeuraCap assembles the peer group, calendarises the fundamentals, applies the primary valuation basis stated for that sector and cross-checks it on EV/Revenue. Plausibility gates exclude implausible multiples, so they are never plotted.
What you get
A football-field chart across methods, the peer table underneath it, and a per-figure note of where each number came from.
The decision it enables
What range goes in front of a board, and which method you will stand behind when it is questioned.

M&A precedents

The transaction record, already reconciled

The problem
Precedent multiples sit across deal databases, press releases and old pitch books, and the versions disagree.
Why it matters
A precedent built on a disclosed value nobody checked is the quickest way to lose a room, and it is the first number a sophisticated buyer tests.
In NeuraCap
NeuraCap screens a structured transaction record by sub-sector, period and size band, confirming each figure against two independent sources at a 97.5% confirmation rate.
What you get
A precedent table with announcement dates, structures and multiples, plus what was excluded from the set and why.
The decision it enables
Where the market has actually cleared, and whether your range sits inside it or outside it.

From a name to a pitch-ready pack

  1. Start with the name

    Search a public company by name or ticker and the analysis is assembled from the filing record. For a private target, enter what you have.

  2. Set the peer group

    NeuraCap proposes a comparable set and shows why each name is in it. Cut or add names, and the medians, percentiles and KPI benchmarks recalculate.

  3. Frame the range

    A primary valuation basis is stated for the sector and cross-checked on EV/Revenue. Plausibility gates keep implausible multiples out of the chart entirely.

  4. Interrogate it

    The Financial Assistant takes natural-language questions over that company’s analysis: where the margin gap sits, why the peer discount exists.

  5. Take it out

    Export to PDF or PPTX. The chart, the peer table and the source note travel together, so the reasoning survives the handover.

Each step maps to a part of the platform: public company analysis for the peer set, valuation analysis for the football field, M&A intelligence for the precedents, and the Financial Assistant for the questions that come after.

The deliverable

What you take into the room

Not a dashboard you have to screenshot. A pack, in the format the meeting runs on.
  • A Company Valuation & Strategic Insights Report
  • A comparable company table with medians and percentiles
  • Precedent transactions with dates, structures and multiples
  • A football-field valuation chart across methods
  • A KPI benchmark against the peer group you chose
  • A current read on the sector and what moved in it
  • The pack exported to PDF or PPTX

Company reports are a platform and advisory deliverable. When the question is bigger than one company, our advisory team scopes the work on the same evidence base.

Straight answers

The objections bankers raise first

Answered the way we would answer them on the call, including the things NeuraCap does not do.
Does NeuraCap replace an analyst?
No. It removes the gathering, the reconciling and the formatting. Judgement, structuring and the client relationship stay with your team. The point is to move analyst hours from assembling a page to defending it.
Where do the numbers come from?
Public-company fundamentals come from SEC EDGAR filings where applicable, with consensus estimates for revenue, EBITDA and EPS, market price data and a structured M&A transaction record alongside them. Private-company data is user-provided and enriched. Multiples, medians and percentiles are calculated, and the narrative is AI-assisted interpretation. Each is labelled as such.
Is a NeuraCap valuation an appraisal or a fairness opinion?
No. Nothing produced here is a recommendation to buy or sell a security, an offer or a solicitation, a formal appraisal or a fairness opinion, and no fiduciary relationship is created. It is analysis to inform your own opinion.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the team, the coverage and whether advisory work is attached, so it is quoted rather than listed. Contact us and we will scope it.
