What the client needed
Cleargate Partners invests in lower middle market healthcare businesses — revenue cycle, GRC, and behavioral health among them. Portfolio operators needed a modern portal to coordinate compliance tasks, credentialing workflows, and operational reporting without scattered spreadsheets.
The system had to respect strict access boundaries between portfolio companies while giving Cleargate leadership consolidated visibility.
How SparkScribe approached it
Before build, SparkScribe worked with Cleargate Partners to translate their Internal / Portfolio Platform goals into an actionable plan — not an off-the-shelf template.
Discovery & planning
- Mapped GRC, credentialing, and portfolio reporting needs across Cleargate and operating company boundaries.
- Enforced strict role scopes so portfolio companies see only their data while leadership retains consolidated views.
- Selected a modern API + frontend split to escape legacy admin constraints on workflow UX.
Our engagement covered API development, Frontend integration, Auth and data layer, Cloud deployment — scoped in phases with staging parity and admin self-service so Cleargate Partners could run day-to-day operations without waiting on engineering.
How we solved it
We built a FastAPI service layer with Supabase for auth and structured data, paired with a Next.js frontend for role-aware dashboards and workflow screens.
AWS hosting separates environments and supports secure document handling. APIs model GRC-oriented entities — policies, tasks, and audit trails — with explicit permission checks on every route.
How we helped the client
The operations portal gave Cleargate a unified surface for portfolio GRC coordination aligned with their healthcare investment focus described publicly on cleargatecp.com.
- Role-aware access: Portfolio company users see only their scope; Cleargate staff retain cross-portfolio views where appropriate.
- Modern stack: FastAPI and Next.js deliver responsive workflows without legacy admin constraints.
- Audit-friendly: Task and policy history supports compliance reviews without reconstructing email threads.
