How it works

Less work to gather the answers. More context to put them to use.

01

Describe what you need.

Start with an operating question. Relay drafts the request and report for you to refine.

02

Start from what companies already have.

Documents and notes become AI-drafted answers. Contributors review them and the company approves before sharing.

03

Compare your portfolio.

Review submissions, benchmark relevant peers, and follow the same metrics over time.

RELAY BENCHMARK NETWORK · COMING SOON

Put your portfolio
in a wider context.

Is a performance gap unique to your portfolio—or shared by similar businesses? We’re building benchmarks across participating firms to help you answer that question.

  • Compare similar businesses. Peer groups by sector, company size, geography, and business model.
  • Make comparisons meaningful. Shared metric definitions and reporting periods, with sample sizes and coverage shown.
  • Keep company data private. Aggregate benchmarks without exposing another firm’s companies, responses, or documents.
Planned participation is included under client agreements. Network results will become available only when sufficient eligible data and privacy safeguards are in place. Today’s benchmarks use your own portfolio.
A FEW DETAILS

Questions before
your first request?

Where do the benchmarks come from?

Your own portfolio’s reported data. Compare companies using shared questions and reporting periods, and filter by attributes such as fund, sector, or company size. The planned Relay benchmark network will add anonymized comparisons across participating firms under client agreements. It is not available yet.

Can we collect more than financial metrics?

Yes. Build questions around your operating priorities: AI initiatives, workforce metrics, customer performance, cybersecurity, integration progress, and more. Use a template or create your own request.

Can we track the same request over time?

Yes. Recurring requests keep reporting periods connected so you can follow trends. Compare the same companies across periods to understand changes without a shifting peer group.

Does AI submit answers automatically?

No. AI helps draft requests and answers from supplied documents or notes. People review the answers before submitting, and company approval can be required before sharing with the PE firm.
