An afternoon from OM to IC memo, not a week.
114 Fields extracted from a deal package.
The capacity trap
The deals you lose are the ones you never got to underwrite. An acquisitions desk is only ever as fast as its slowest manual step, which is data entry: re-keying a hundred-page memorandum into the model one cell at a time before anyone can form a view.
Speed is not a nicety in acquisitions. The team that turns a memorandum into a defensible view first is the team that gets the call back, and the deal.
Today vs. with Built AI
| The work | Today | With Built AI |
|---|---|---|
| Reading the OM | A day of manual extraction and re-keying | Minutes: up to 114 fields lifted with audit trail |
| Market & comp data | Scattered across email, subscriptions, old deals | Pulled into one queryable graph alongside the deal |
| Underwriting math | Re-built in the model each time, error-prone | Computed deterministically, shown cell by cell |
| Sensitivities | A handful, if there's time before committee | Run in full: rate, re-lease, lease-up, exit cap |
| The screening memo | Days, often built the night before | A branded, cited IC memo in an afternoon |
| Deals you can reach | Only what the team had hours for | Effectively all of them |
What you gain
Not a faster spreadsheet and not a chatbot in a sidebar. Four changes to how the desk operates:
- Any document becomes structured data in minutes: Drop a term sheet, OM, loan package or rent roll and up to 114 fields are extracted with a field-level audit trail.
- Your scenarios run on the engine: IRR, equity multiple, DSCR, debt yield, the waterfall and your sensitivity tables are computed deterministically.
- The IC memo is drafted on your template: The deal summary, the base case, the sensitivities, and the risks are written in your format with every figure traced to source.
- The capacity trap breaks: The desk screens more, moves faster, and stops losing the good ones to firms that were simply quicker.
Human in the loop
Speed is worthless if the committee cannot trust the memo. The analyst confirms the extracted fields, signs off on the assumptions, and approves the scenarios before the memo is finalized. This ensures that every number on the memo is reproducible and traceable.
