Fair Value in the Fast Lane 

Fair Value in the Fast Lane 

73 Strings has been featured by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) in a new interview exploring how AI is being responsibly adopted across private market valuations

In Fair Value in the Fast Lane, the IVSC speaks with 73 Strings’ Deputy CEO, Abhishek Pandey, about the accelerating pace of private markets and the growing demand for valuations that are not only faster and more frequent, but also transparent, traceable and auditable

AI adoption must go hand in hand with trust 

As valuation cycles shorten and data volumes increase, AI is increasingly being used to support activities such as data extraction, scenario analysis and valuation workflows. However, the interview highlights a critical point: 
speed alone is not enough

For AI to be viable in valuation environments, every output must be: 

  • Explainable — clearly showing how results were derived 
  • Traceable — linking assumptions, data sources and calculations 
  • Auditable — standing up to scrutiny from auditors, LPs and regulators 

Professional judgement remains central, with AI acting as an enabler, not a replacement, helping valuation teams focus on insight and decision-making while maintaining confidence in the process. 

Built for modern private markets 

In the interview, Abhishek discusses how valuation teams are increasingly looking for technology that can scale with market complexity while remaining aligned with valuation standards and governance requirements. 

At 73 Strings, this philosophy underpins the platform’s design – combining AI-driven data extraction, valuation intelligence and portfolio monitoring in a single solution built specifically for private markets, where accuracy, transparency and trust are non-negotiable
