Partnership reviews
A "partnership review" is a standalone HTML page that summarizes a company we've evaluated. They live in static/ and are the largest body of content on the site (~125 files and counting).
What's in a review
Each file is a self-contained HTML page — open it in any browser and it works. Most follow a tab-navigation structure with sections like:
- Overview — who they are, the deal/partnership shape, where we are with them
- Tech / Architecture — protocol-level detail, smart-contract diagrams, integration flow
- Economics — fees, token mechanics, P&L for us
- Diligence — counterparty checks, audit history, red flags
- References — the people we talked to, the data room links, the IC memo if there is one
Style is consistent: white background, no dark mode, system font, max-width 1400px, callout cards with #f4f7fa background, tinted callouts with #e6effa. All CSS is inline; no frameworks.
Naming
CompanyName_PartnershipReview.html
CompanyName_PartnershipReview_YYYYMMDD.html
The date suffix is for when we've done multiple passes — CircleUSDC_PartnershipReview_20260224.html, Underdog_PartnershipReview.html (no date because it's the only one).
Other suffixes you'll see:
_ScreeningMemo— pre-IC screening write-ups (e.g.,BBDC_IC_ScreeningMemo_20260402.html)_Diligence— diligence-only deep dives (Underdog_Diligence_20260511.html)_PortfolioReport— running portfolio monitoring (OATFI-001_PortfolioReport_*.html)_TechnicalArchitecture— pure tech docs (Morpho_TechnicalArchitecture.html)_LandscapeReview— multi-company comparisons (AIDataLabeling_LandscapeReview_*.html)_ExploitBriefing— post-incident write-ups (Resolv_ExploitBriefing.html)_Comparison— side-by-sides (Novig_vs_Underdog_20260514.html)
Finding one
Don't browse by filename. The intranet has three ways in:
- Company References app on the homepage — every review, grouped by company, with category filter pills (Payments, Stablecoins, Security & Audit, Credit Markets, Liquidity, Oracles, DEX, plus any custom ones).
- Laurelin — open a company. The "Links" section on the company detail page surfaces its
review_linkand any other documents we've attached. - Direct URL if you have the filename:
https://intra.valinorinfo.com/static/<filename>.
Categories
The category filter on the homepage and in Company References is driven by an array attached to each company in index.html (around line 520) — not by something you set per-review. So when you add a new review, you also add the company to the homepage list with the right categories array.
Common categories:
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Payments | Payment processors, on/off ramps |
| Stablecoins | Stablecoin issuers, USDC/USDT related |
| Security & Audit | Auditors, security firms |
| Credit Markets | Lending protocols, credit funds |
| Liquidity | LPs, DEX aggregators |
| Oracles | Price feeds, data oracles |
| DEX | Decentralized exchanges |
You can invent new categories — they appear as new filter pills automatically.
Adding a review
Two paths, both detailed in Add a partnership review:
- With Claude — give Claude a one-paragraph brief and let it generate the HTML + update the homepage. Easiest.
- By hand — copy an existing file in
static/, edit, add a homepage entry, push.
Either way, push to GitHub main; within 5 minutes the deploy picks it up.
Updating an existing review
Two options:
- Edit in place — same filename, change the content, commit, push. The URL stays the same. Use this for typo fixes, small updates, links.
- New dated version —
<Company>_PartnershipReview_<NewDate>.html. Keeps the old one around for reference. Update the homepage entry to point to the new file. Use this for material updates after a new round of diligence.
Don't delete old versions unless the company explicitly asks (which has happened). Old reviews are useful for "what did we know when."
