Institutional memory for investment firms

AI capabilities built the way your firm already works

How it works

The shape of a firm

Every firm has the same five layers to its inner workings. Going AI-native is the work of making them visible, connected, and durable — so the firm can rely on its own institutional memory the way it relies on its people.

  1. WP

    Surfaces

    Where your firm's work lives today

    Your team's work is scattered across accumulated tools. They are not going away, but their residue — half-decisions and side comments — becomes a source the system can learn from.

  2. Workflows

    How work turns into judgment

    Most capability lives in people. Judgment builds over years and gets applied in undocumented moments. Workflows make it visible: the steps, handoffs, and deliverables where tacit knowledge gets reused.

  3. Knowledge base

    What the firm knows and believes

    A firm knows things its documents don't. The knowledge base models who knows what, why decisions were made, which precedents hold, and which were quietly overturned.

    System of record

    The attested activity log

    History is scattered across inboxes, drives, and memory. The record logs every model version, decision, approval, and override, traced back to its evidence.

    The Practice

    The operating layer that keeps it alive

    A memory layer is not a finished project. It is a weekly rhythm: review what was captured, attest what still holds, retire what went stale, and feed new evidence back in. The practice is what makes memory compound instead of decay.

Selected Engagements

Outcomes with a record underneath

Managing Director

Global Multi-Strategy Trading Firm

Mythmaker takes their proprietary models, adapts them to your firm, and runs the operations. They baseline everything, build a systematic process, set a target, and let you layer in around it. It's a great approach — and others are starting to pick up on it.

Managing Partner

Global Capital Markets Advisory Firm

We've had nothing but a positive experience — in fact, some of our own clients have ended up engaging Mythmaker directly. They've been the secret sauce in getting us from ideas in our heads to actually executing, and doing it right.

Chief Executive Officer

CFTC-Regulated Derivatives Exchange

Mythmaker is wildly capable on AI and process improvement. They're core to the team that's going to get things done over the next year. The tools and workflows they bring are an accelerant — operational velocity and technology you can really leverage.

Chief Information Officer

Institutional Trading Technology Firm

The Mythmaker team comes from a technical background, which is exactly what's needed — deep understanding without over-formalizing the process. The combination of their experience and approach is what made our project a success.

Chief Executive Officer

Institutional Trading Technology Firm

Within the first month, I saw a real change in character across the team — more collaboration, better structure, sharper response times. What stood out about Mythmaker was their read on the situation. They helped us surface and work through structural issues we'd been wrestling with for years, and build the foundation we need to support growth.

Chief Executive Officer

Quantitative Research Firm

Mythmaker came in with no context and inside two weeks delivered a strategy and operations memo that was genuinely impressive — spot on in places where I'd been thinking the same thing but hadn't put it down. They bring experience you can really respect.

The playbook

Three stages, each enterable and exitable

I

Diagnostic

A structured assessment of where your firm's judgment currently lives, what is leaking, and what would compound if captured. Delivered as a written strategy and operations memo with a recommended scope of work.

Four weeks. No commitment to what comes next.

II

Build

We build the institutional memory layer against the priorities the diagnostic surfaced. Our deliverable is a working system fully integrated in your firm and an embedded team to guarantee realized value.

Eight to twelve weeks. Scoped to the diagnostic findings.

III

Steward

We maintain the system as a continuing part of your firm that compounds value. The monthly cadence of reviews, audits, and expansions that keeps institutional memory from decaying back into individual memory.

Month-to-month.

Begin with the diagnostic

A four-to-six-week assessment of what your firm knows

What is leaking, and what would compound if captured. Delivered as a written readout. No commitment to what comes next.
