We say a set-valued functor on a category is nearly representable if it is a quotient of a representable functor by a group of automorphisms. A distributor is a set-valued functor in two arguments, contravariant in one argument and covariant in the other. We say a distributor is slicewise nearly representable if it is nearly representable in either of the arguments whenever the other argument is fixed. We consider such a distributor a weak analogue of adjunction. Under a finiteness assumption on the domain categories, we show that every slicewise nearly representable functor is a composite of two distributors, each of which may be considered as a weak analogue of (co-)reflective adjunction.
