Agentic deal team

Four agents. Every one with a human checkpoint.

Lens agents chase requests, draft findings, write the daily brief and watch for risk, working only inside the permissions and evidence your team sets.

Deal governance

Your deal data is everywhere. That is the real risk.

Inboxes, Teams threads, Slack DMs, private spreadsheets — and now confidential documents pasted into general AI chatbots. There is no structure, so the right people don't get the right information at the moment it changes the deal. It has been true for decades. AI has made it faster and worse.

Read our view on deal governance →

Scattered

Evidence spread across inbox, chat and personal drives

Unstructured

No workstream a finding is filed against

Ungoverned AI

Confidential material in tools with no scope or record

Asymmetric

Decisions taken without evidence already in the building

Lens replaces the scatter with one governed record: structured workstreams, permissions that put the right information in front of the right people, AI that cites its sources, and an audit trail that still stands up a year later — the same record that value creation later runs on.

The problem

M&A knowledge walks out of the door

The judgement built up over a deal lives in one person's inbox, one analyst's spreadsheet and one adviser's report. When they move on, the next acquisition starts from nothing. Lens keeps the workstreams, the evidence and the reasoning where the team can reuse them.

Evidence-grounded AI

Answers that cite their sources

Ask Lens works only over the project's own documents, requests and notes. Every answer names the sources behind it, shows how much of the source set is ready, and labels its confidence — so a reviewer can verify a claim instead of trusting a summary.

  • Scoped context: choose the workstreams, sections and entries the AI may read.
  • Versioned insight modules — highlights, key findings, SWOT, risks and signals, evidence and follow-ups.
  • Human review before anything reaches an investment committee.

People + AI agents

Agents do the legwork. People make the call.

Lens does the assembly — sources gathered, requests chased, findings scored, a brief written every morning. The judgement stays with the people who own the deal, and every answer names the evidence it came from so it can be challenged.
