Beacon
What's coming
before you
hear about it.
Beacon is the signal layer between Parallel's assessments and Bearing's interpretations. It monitors for patterns, escalates what matters, and filters what doesn't — so leadership gets intelligence, not alerts.
Signal types
What Beacon watches for.
Beacon isn't a notification system. It's a pattern-recognition layer that distinguishes one-off observations from recurring organizational signals — and escalates only what has accumulated enough evidence to be consequential.
Severity levels
Built for
Who Beacon serves.
PE Operating Teams
Portfolio-level escalation monitoring with roll-up views across all active companies — surfacing what needs attention before the next board cycle.
Boards
Structured escalation summaries timed to governance cadences. Intelligence formatted for the boardroom, not the inbox.
Portfolio Company Leadership
A structured view of what Wexler Gray has escalated to their PE sponsors — so leadership is never caught off-guard.
Operating Partners
Early-warning intelligence for the companies they cover, without needing to track every signal themselves.

Delivery
Escalations go where your team works.
Critical and elevated escalations are delivered immediately — no dashboard polling required. PE operating teams configure their preferred channels once; Beacon handles the rest.
Formatted escalation alerts sent directly to PE administrators. Includes severity, company context, and a direct link to the full escalation.
Slack
Mirror escalations to any Slack channel via an incoming webhook. Configured once in the platform — no ongoing administration required.
