The mirror shows a portfolio company exactly what its investor sees of it, on its own value creation page.
Why turn it on
Because the alternative is a company guessing. A management team that cannot see the investor-facing reading assumes the worst about it, and spends the first twenty minutes of every meeting relitigating what the numbers say instead of what to do about them.
With the mirror on:
- The company sees the same ratings, levers and movement you do.
- Disagreements surface before the meeting, in the form of published evidence, rather than during it.
- A company that thinks a reading is unfair can publish the evidence that changes it — which is the behavior you want.
What it does not change
The mirror is a view, not an edit right. A company cannot alter your assessment of it, your levers, or your posture. And it does not work in reverse: enabling the mirror does not give you anything new either — your side of the boundary is unchanged.
