These techniques will dramatically improve the quality of Claude's responses from your Dakota Marketplace data.

Prompting

Be Specific About Criteria

Instead of "find me some LPs," try: "find LPs with AUM over $2B committed to 3+ PE funds in the past 2 years, focused on healthcare or technology." Specificity unlocks precision.

Strategy

Layer Your Questions

Start broad, then drill down. Ask for a target list, then rank by probability, then draft outreach for the top 3. Each prompt builds on the last.

Workflow

Specify Output Formats

Tell Claude how you want information delivered: "as a table," "three bullet points," "a one-page brief I can share with my partner." Claude will format accordingly.

Research

Cross-Reference Patterns

"Which LPs that committed to [GP A] have also committed to [GP B]?" Relationship-mapping queries are where Dakota + Claude truly shines.

Productivity

Use Claude for Call Prep

Before every LP call, ask Claude to pull their full profile, recent activity, team structure, and suggest 5 tailored talking points. 10 minutes becomes 30 seconds.

Advanced

Request Comparisons

"Compare these 3 LPs on their private credit appetite and historical commitment sizes." Comparative analysis across the database is something Claude does extraordinarily well.
