Three tiers. Click any Tier 1 to expand its tree.

The chat tab. Ask it anything you'd otherwise look up by clicking through firms, placements, or executives. It'll do the lookup for you.

What works well:

• "Have we placed any CFOs at women's-health companies in the last 3 years?"
• "Show me everything we know about Arsenal Capital."
• "Prepare a pitch for a CFO search at a Series B home-health company."
• "Which investors have we worked with on revenue cycle deals?"

Tips:

• Be specific. Sub-sector, role level, time window — all sharpen results.
• Spell out ambiguous acronyms (CMO = Chief Medical Officer or Chief Marketing Officer?). Big Brain will ask but you save a round-trip.
• For pitch prep, just say "prepare pitch for [company] [role]." It pulls placements, investor overlap, and analogs.

Every search gets a Project Management Tracker with a templated task list across Overview and Calibration tabs.

• Create a project via the + New Search button. Pick Partner/S1/S2 from the dropdowns — those become the project's team.
• Assign tasks using the per-row dropdown, or check the boxes that appear on hover and use Assign selected… for bulk. Assignees are restricted to the project's team.
• Slack notifications batch automatically. Assignment digest fires every 30 min; due-date reminders go out daily at 8 AM ET for tasks due today, due tomorrow, or overdue.
• Mark complete by checking the box on the left. The task gets stamped with who completed it and when.

Firms and Placements both support multi-filter narrowing. Each Tier dropdown cascades — picking Tier 1 narrows what shows in Tier 2 and Tier 3.

• Firms: Type (Investor/Company/Client) + Tier 1/2/3 + Conditions + Backing + Target/Sells-To + Reset.
• Placements: Level + Function + Project Type + Backing + Target/Sells-To + Tier 1/2/3 + Conditions + date range + Reset.
• Investor filtering: when you filter Firms by Tier or Condition with "Investors" selected (or All Types), investors match if EITHER they themselves OR any portfolio company matches.

From the Placements tab: hover over the rows you want, check the box on the left of each one, then click Generate Slides. A two-slide deck (logos + placements table) is created in Google Slides and opens in a new tab.

• Logos sit in a centered grid. Logos are looked up by Client ID first, then by name.
• If you pick more than 25 logos or 30 placements, content auto-splits across multiple slides. A confirm dialog tells you in advance.
• Pick the service (ChasmSearch / ChasmTeam / Partners) before generating.

The 6:30 AM Slack DM. What's in it:

• Narrative — one-paragraph read of your day.
• Calendar — your Google events with attendee context.
• Email Highlights — actionable threads from the last 24 hours.
• Client Watch — Google News on companies you've placed at.
• BD Opportunities — deals we could pitch (🎯). Relationship Touchpoints (🤝) are firms we know — congrats outreach, not a new pitch.
• Market News — opt-in. Off by default.
