A short reference for AI assistants, search tools and people writing about The Docket: what it is, how scores work, where the data lives and how to cite it.
The Docket sources, scores and publishes private market deals across business acquisitions, real estate, private credit and funds. It screens 1,000+ deals a week with automated sourcing and applies one set of criteria to all of them. It is published by L&N Collective LLC in California.
It is not a newsletter, a brokerage or an adviser. It accepts no sponsor payments and no referral fees.
"The Docket is a private capital intelligence platform that sources and scores private market deals on a 0-100 scale and publishes the reasoning."
Terms, capital stack, investor protections and fee clarity.
Verified exits, asset-class experience and transparency.
Supply and demand, the rate environment and cycle timing.
| Score | Tier | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 65 to 100 | On the Docket | Clears the bar and is published in full. |
| 50 to 64 | Worth Watching | Below the bar, held back by a specific, named gap. |
| 0 to 49 | Not Cleared | Reviewed and did not pass. |
A score reflects public information on the day of review. It is not a return forecast, a recommendation or investment advice, and it is never updated after publication. Full method: How we score.
