You name the company — typically your own. BoardBrain reads it and its entire peer set, then delivers a private dashboard built around the only hierarchy a boardroom needs: the three questions that matter, the evidence behind them, and everything else behind that. No access required, no data room, no IT project.
Twenty minutes before the meeting, a director commands what an analyst team would need weeks to assemble: where value is trapped, what holds it in place, what would release it — and the few questions that cannot be hedged.
Where the gap between value and price sits, quantified — quick wins and structural moves, with the supporting and contradicting evidence side by side.
For the CEO and CFO, ranked by leverage on the share price. Written to force a real answer.
The case the most-likely activist would make on this company — so the board reads it before anyone sends it.
Every management commitment, met / delayed / abandoned. The story against the record, scored over time.
Returns against cost of capital, capital allocation, incentives and oversight — read against the standards a careful owner would apply.
Representation of a director file. Wording illustrative; in product, every line is traced to a source.
Every filing, transcript, peer result and news item, read through the company’s value-creation thesis — usually the same day. Not generic headlines: what each item means for valuation, strategy and activist risk, and the question the board should ask next.
And it answers back. Ask anything — strategy, governance, peers, scenarios — and the answer arrives in seconds, with the filing line or transcript page cited. The dashboard already did the reading, on a Tuesday, not just on board day.
Representation of the daily brief. Items illustrative.
On request, the dashboard produces a full strategic brief on a single business unit: definition, performance, a competitor-by-competitor teardown of where each rival is strong and weak, attack vectors, and a quantified path from current to best-in-class economics — every initiative specific and benchmarked to the sector.
Work of that depth has typically cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and taken a team several weeks. The dashboard produces it immediately — and for a five-business-unit company, it produces five.
Entirely outside-in. BoardBrain reads everything the market can see, independently of the company. Nothing confidential is required, and no access needs to be granted. This is the dashboard described on this page.
Once a board or management team securely uploads internal material — board packs, investor decks, capital-markets-day drafts — the dashboard answers a different set of questions: does the pack answer what the board should ask? Does the CMD deck land on what matters, and what should be fixed before it is presented? What is missing from what a director was given — and how to raise it constructively?
This stage demands the highest data-security standard; BoardBrain is moving to SOC 2 to support it.
The result is a richer board discussion, because everyone works from the same transparent facts on the table.
