401k Alt-Asset Fiduciary Workbench

A B2B SaaS platform that standardizes, automates, and auditable-stores 401(k) fiduciary due diligence for private equity, private credit, and other alternative assets under the new DOL guidance. It generates evidence-ready workflows (decision logs, scoring rubrics, committee packets) and continuously monitors key risk indicators (fees, liquidity terms, valuation method changes, rating actions) to trigger re-review tasks before issues become litigation.

Target customer

Retirement plan trustees and investment committees at mid-to-large plan sponsors (HR/benefits leaders), plus ERISA recordkeeping/TAMP teams that support committee governance and documentation.

Problem-solution fit

Trustees need safe-harbor-grade documentation and repeatable processes to defend investment decisions when adding less liquid, less transparent private assets; missing or inconsistent documentation can lead to lawsuits and costly remediation. The product provides a structured due-diligence workflow aligned to DOL factors and produces time-stamped, audit-ready artifacts while adding continuous monitoring so committees can show ongoing prudence as private asset risks evolve.
