SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the challenge of converting incomplete, competing diligence inputs into a structured, recommendation-ready deal/IC/partnership/acquisition memo without hiding evidence gaps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-to-memo structuring: Inventories confirmed findings, inferences, and unresolved gaps, then drafts a memo spine (thesis, market, business, economics, risks, open questions, recommendation).
  • Uncertainty preserved: Keeps confidence and missing evidence explicit, avoiding overstatement and smoothing.
  • Workflow fit for common diligence outputs: Uses research findings, model review notes (when economics matter), and meeting synthesis (when decision-makers/managers are involved) to produce first-pass decision documentation.
  • Optional Open Brain context: Can search prior deal notes and capture the final memo summary/recommendation after drafting.

Quick Start

Draft an IC/deal memo from this diligence packet by extracting the thesis, market and business case, economics implications, risks, open questions, and a recommendation that clearly signals confidence levels and missing evidence.
