Ideas beyond the current prototype.
The demonstrations on the homepage use the current prototype. This page explores possible future architectures; these are research concepts, not available services or a commitment to launch.
The operating system
From one agent workspace to the firm-wide runtime.
The current product proves the agent workflows on one machine. Phase 2 — not available today — turns them into a contained, multi-deal production system for a regulated firm.
Phase 2 · planned · not available today
The production runtime inside the firm.
Multi-deal operations, isolated deal rooms, permissions and an append-only audit chain — and a person still signs off anything material.

About this project
A personal exploration
of M&A workflows.
Built by Oliver Shewan to explore how AI can organise deal evidence and support human review. This is a personal software prototype, shown with synthetic data. It is not offered for sale or subscription, and no pilots or client engagements are available.
