Vol. I · Public-records intelligence
Mandate Desk is sourced intelligence on public pension funds and the managers they hire. One national record, built only from public documents, where every number carries the source, the retrieval date, and a confidence grade you can check.
Mandate Desk is a reference work built exclusively from public records. It surfaces what funds and firms report about themselves, and it does not evaluate, rank, or recommend any manager, consultant, custodian, or provider. What you buy is completeness, accuracy, and freshness, and the audit trail to prove all three.
Every figure links to the public filing it was drawn from, so anyone can open the page and read it.
Each figure is stamped with when it entered the record, so you always know how fresh it is.
A confidence grade rates the citation, never the entity. It says how sure we are of the figure, not what we think of the fund.
The consolidated record is here today. The monitoring, watchlists, and alerts around it are in active development, and labeled plainly so you always know what is standing and what is coming.
One national record of the funds you cover, built only from public documents. Census, state regulators, annual reports, and federal filings, consolidated and normalized, each figure carrying its source and date.
A feed of what changed in the public record, and when. New solicitations, filings, board and staff changes, and posted minutes, each human-cleared, dated, and one click from the cited document.
Your target list steers the monitoring. Watchlisted funds are checked on a set cadence, with changes routed to your inbox, a webhook, or your CRM inside a stated freshness window.
Screen by state, size, universe, coverage, or freshness, and get told when a fund enters or exits the screen. Prospecting becomes an event, not a quarterly export.
Solicitations from portals, fund sites, and minutes, normalized with scope, status, due dates, and documents, ready to export to a calendar.
A dashboard that shows the liveness you are paying for. The share of the record verified recently, the time from source to desk, and whether cited links still resolve. Measured, not promised.
The record spans the country. Coverage is deepest in flagship states like Texas, and Census-level elsewhere, with the depth of every state shown honestly rather than implied.
Deep coverage, checked against the state’s own filings.
Present in the record, with its depth labeled, never overstated.
A reference work is only as good as its discipline. Mandate Desk publishes its method, says what it does not know, and holds a figure back rather than show one it cannot stand behind.
The value is consolidation, normalization, and freshness, never possession of anything private. Everything here is a matter of public record.
Gaps are shown as gaps. A figure not yet located reads “not located,” and an implausible aggregate is held under review rather than published.
The source hierarchy, the confidence grades, and the line between reported and computed are all published, so the work can be checked.
Confidence grades the citation, not the entity. There are no scores, ratings, or league tables of funds or providers anywhere in the desk.
Mandate Desk is a research preview, opening to a first set of teams. Request a walkthrough, bring the funds you cover, and see what a record with a source under every figure looks like.
