Purpose-built for teams running Datasite — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## The Problem

Private Equity associates screen 200 deals to fund 2 — the screening work is where deals get missed and where junior time gets burned.

## What We Build in Datasite

AI pre-screens deals against the fund's thesis in PitchBook, drafts a one-page summary per target, and pushes the top 10 to partner review — associate time goes to judgment, not triage. Purpose-built for teams running Datasite — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Datasite Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Datasite configuration.** We map the specific Datasite objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your private equity practice.
2. **Build on the Datasite API or agent.** Integration happens inside Datasite — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Datasite with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
