CODEX
Institutional Doctrine Engine
13 institutional M&A codex packs. Machine-enforced. Zero advisory drift.
The firm's memory. The playbook is the firm.
“Codex is the institutional memory and playbook enforcement layer of the VALHROS suite.”
Unlike advisory playbooks that live in consultants' heads, Codex is a compiler. Every playbook is a machine-readable doctrine module. Every run is archived. Every failed analysis becomes training data.
The operating thesis of the Valkyrie Revival Fund does not depend on which operator is in the room today. The playbook is the firm.
Governance, not style.
K-Core is not a style guide. It is a governance framework.
| Layer | Pack | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Master Doctrine | K-Core | Governing principles for all Prytaneum / VALHROS operations |
| Quality Standard | K-Core-1 | Top 1% Decision-Grade output bar |
| QA Enforcement | K9 (Sentinel) | Structural completeness, evidence sufficiency, control-doctrine compliance |
| Specialist Packs | K1–K10 | Acquisition archetypes, bid strategy, prose standards, data schemas |
The gate between analysis and action.
Sentinel v6.5.6 is the quality gate between analysis and action.
QA_PASS | Artifact cleared for export |
PASS_WITH_DISCLOSURES | Export permitted; disclosure flags attached |
FAIL_EXPORT_BLOCKED | Does not leave the system |
There is no override path. There is no “ship it anyway” flag.
Five governing rules.
EV/ARR Ceiling
CAPITAL_INTENSITY_EXCEEDED raised on breach. Sentinel blocks export. No override path exists.
Control Valuation Doctrine
Bids anchored below validated ARR. Valuation discipline enforced at the compiler level.
Day-0 Mandatory Controls
Pricing, org structure, infrastructure, financial controls, vendor, KPI, and headcount all locked on Day 0. No deferred integration.
Cost Envelope Doctrine
30% operating cost ceiling enforced. 65% net margin target is the floor thesis, not an aspiration.
Zero Tolerance Rules
No placeholders. No advisory drift. No silent failures. These are governance rules, not best-practice guidelines.
Six acquisition archetypes.
Zombie SaaS
Revenue intact, execution collapsed; margin recovery thesis
PE Thesis Exhaustion
Sponsor exit pressure; complexity discount opportunity
Churn Cliff
Net retention < 80%; stabilization and re-anchoring play
Debt Wall
Covenant breach or refinancing event; distress discount entry
Founder Dependency
Key-person risk concentrated in product or GTM; transition playbook
Governance Failure
Board dysfunction, audit failure, or regulatory trigger; control-first entry
How Codex connects.
Archetypes detected by MIMIR trigger automatic playbook selection in Codex
All VALHROS-X outputs validated against doctrine before Sentinel gate
Playbooks surface inside investor detail view via Archon CRM
All runs archived in Pinecone vector store; prior failures become training data
