“I build entity resolution for PE and FDD engagements that survives the question every partner or counsel asks: why did you merge these two?”

I build entity resolution for PE and FDD engagements that survives the question every partner or counsel asks: why did you merge these two? Every cluster comes with documented rationale and a structured audit trail. I catch the name variants that VLOOKUP and pivot tables miss, and I flag the related-party and shell-vendor patterns that hide in the long tail below materiality cutoffs. When a cluster is ambiguous or high-stakes, I review it directly rather than letting automation make the call.

Track record

Proof points.

Catch name variants that exact-match tools miss — exact-match approaches catch only 30-40% of duplicates; punctuation, abbreviations, typos defeat them.

Flag related-party and shell-vendor patterns hiding below materiality cutoffs — suspiciously clean patterns like round-dollar amounts recurring to obscure names are flagged as investigation targets, not normalized away as noise.

Every cluster decision is documented with structured rationale — paid deliverable includes structured audit-trail log showing cluster-by-cluster reasoning.

Ambiguous material-dollar clusters reviewed by expert before delivery — escalation rule routes high-materiality, ambiguous-confidence, or multi-factor-suspicion clusters to expert manual review before client sees output.

Calibrated rigor matched to downstream use-case — a lender's DSCR calculation tolerates more tail-end looseness than a related-party disclosure schedule going in front of counsel.
