← Solutions·Capability · DDQ Automation

Three days to one hour, on every DDQ.

Institutional DDQs are the gate between you and the mandate. BackPro reads each question, retrieves the answer from your fund documents with paragraph‑level citation, and renders the response in whatever format the institutional client demands. The compliance officer verifies the citation; they don’t author the draft.

The DDQ box is bottomless.

  • Pressure 01

    Twenty to thirty DDQs land each month.

    Each one demands fund docs, holdings, performance, ODD, and compliance records. Five to ten business days is industry standard. Late means lost mandate.

  • Pressure 02

    Every institutional client has their own format.

    Word, PDF, Excel, online portal. Same questions, different shapes. The analyst spends the day re‑formatting answers the firm has already written.

  • Pressure 03

    The compliance officer blocks half the answers.

    Without paragraph‑level citation to the source document, the compliance team won’t sign off. The cycle becomes draft, review, redraft, sign off.

From three days to one hour.

Example artefact

See the DDQ response we just generated.

An institutional DDQ response drafted end‑to‑end by BackPro: questions on operational risk, custody, valuation, compliance, and BCP, every answer cited to the underlying fund document or compliance record. Watermarked for you, dated, marked specimen.

Everything that goes into one questionnaire.

Citation Engine

Every answer cited to the paragraph in the fund document, ODD pack, or compliance record. The compliance officer verifies, never authors.

Accepted Answers Library

Answers you’ve already approved get reused automatically. The library learns your standard language for every recurring question.

Multi‑format Export

Same answer, rendered in Word, PDF, Excel, or the institutional client’s online portal. Format becomes a button click.

ODD Support

Operational due diligence questions answered alongside DDQs. Custody, valuation, conflicts, third‑party arrangements, all sourced from the same evidence base.

Question Intake

Upload the institutional client’s questionnaire in any format. BackPro parses the questions, maps them to your evidence base, and surfaces drafts within minutes.

Version Tracking

Every DDQ versioned and timestamped to the documents that were live when it was drafted. Audit trail intact for the next ODD review.

Holdings Lookthrough

Holdings, performance, and attribution data pulled directly from your portfolio system. No copy‑paste between Bloomberg, FactSet, and Word.

Compliance Review Queue

Drafts flow into a review queue ordered by deadline. The compliance team sees every claim with its citation, approves or sends back for revision.

Mandate‑Mapped Templates

Your firm’s standard responses to recurring DDQ themes (ESG screens, conflict policies, business continuity) live as templates. Update once, ripples everywhere.

Ninety‑five percent of DDQ time, returned.

Drag the sliders for your fund. The estimate is grounded in BackPro’s measured 95% time reduction per DDQ, applied to your annual volume at your analyst rate. Math matches the homepage Funds tab.

Questions analysts ask first.

BackPro learns each client’s question structure. The same underlying answer is rendered into whatever format the institutional client requires (PDF, Word, Excel, online portal). Retrieval and citation are shared; only the rendering changes.

Every answer cites to the underlying fund document with paragraph‑level precision. The compliance officer doesn’t trust the AI; they verify the citation. Same evidentiary standard as a human draft, with a faster turnaround.

BackPro picks up the new versions automatically. Future DDQs reflect the change. Past DDQs are versioned and timestamped to the documents that were live when they were drafted.

Yes. ODD uses the same retrieval engine pointed at your operational documentation (custody, valuation, conflicts, third‑party arrangements). Most fund managers field as many ODDs as DDQs.

Stays in your tenancy. BackPro runs inside your environment, documents never leave your perimeter, and there’s no third‑party data egress.

Once an answer is approved by compliance, it joins the library. The next DDQ that asks the same question (in any format) gets the approved answer pre‑filled. Approval ages by document version; if the underlying doc changes, the answer is re‑surfaced for review.

The system paid for itself in the first quarter. We’re now responding to DDQs faster than our competitors with larger teams, and our compliance officer actually trusts the outputs because every claim includes source documents.
