F2, the AI platform purpose-built for private markets investors, has launched Audit Mode—a major advancement that makes AI-generated financial analysis fully auditable, transparent, and investment committee-ready. Every calculation produced by F2 is now written into a live, formula-rich, source-linked Excel-native “Databook,” ensuring complete traceability from final numbers back to original source documents in the data room.

  • Audit Mode eliminates black-box concerns by embedding traceability: users can click any number in a report to instantly view underlying formulas, precedents, dependents, source files, sheets, cells, and contextual document previews.
  • Outputs remain fully Excel-native and exportable, preserving all traceability and formulas for seamless integration into existing investor workflows.
  • Designed specifically for high-stakes diligence, underwriting, and portfolio monitoring where institutional rigor and defensibility are non-negotiable.
  • Builds on F2’s rapid growth since September launch: 7x month-over-month platform usage increase and 60x ARR growth across thousands of professionals at 100+ enterprise firms.
  • Addresses a core adoption barrier—lack of transparency in AI tools—allowing teams to move faster with confidence rather than speed alone.
  • Reinforces F2’s philosophy: AI should augment financial judgment and trust, not obscure or replace it.

Transparency as the Foundation of Trusted AI in Private Markets

Private markets investors face intense pressure to accelerate diligence and decision-making while maintaining institutional-grade rigor. Traditional AI tools often produce answers without visibility into methodology, leading to extended review cycles, manual rework, and elevated risk during investment committee scrutiny.

Audit Mode directly solves this by transforming AI outputs into auditable, Excel-native workbooks. Rather than static reports, F2 generates live Databooks where every calculation remains traceable to its origin—source documents, specific cells, and formulas—without leaving the platform.

Key features include:

  • Full traceability from any value to its original source file, sheet, and cell
  • Live inspection of formulas, precedents, and dependents
  • Linked citations and contextual previews of source documents
  • Exportable Excel files that retain complete traceability and formula integrity

“In private markets, moving fast doesn’t matter if you can’t defend the numbers behind your decision,” said Don Muir, CEO of F2. “Speed isn’t about generating answers faster, it’s about trusting them. When the numbers are fully traceable, teams can invest with confidence. Audit Mode makes that possible.”

“When transparency is built into the foundation, speed becomes a byproduct of trust,” Muir added.
