Laying the Foundation: Data, Documents, and Defensible Research

What We’re Building First — and Why It Matters

Before intelligence can be portfolio-aware or thesis-aware, it has to be trustworthy.

That’s why the first phase of Strēm is focused on building a strong research foundation: reliable data connections, flexible document ingestion, and tools that help teams turn raw information into structured, defensible analysis.

Today, Strēm supports:

• Connections to trusted data sources

• Uploading and working directly with internal documents

• Summarization grounded in source material

• Adding analyst insights directly into structured research outputs

• Exporting research into reports that can be shared, reviewed, and defended

This isn’t about speed for its own sake. It’s about creating a system where research holds up under scrutiny — and where context isn’t lost between draft, discussion, and decision.

Everything else builds on this.
