Deal memory

Follow the full acquisition

What you can do.

Specific tools for the decisions and follow-through your search depends on.

One intake for incoming deals

Drop a CIM or a folder of files, or forward broker emails and supported listing alerts to your workspace address. New documents can attach to an existing deal when a match is found.

Keep incoming opportunities and their supporting documents together.

Your buy box sets the standard

Set search criteria, required criteria and their weights. Screen on the reported or seller-adjusted earnings basis you choose, with a fit assessment and reasons for each verdict.

Evaluate the opportunity against your search mandate.

Pursue, ask first or pass

See a suggested next step with the factors behind it. Required criteria, unanswered questions and red flags help you understand why a deal needs attention.

Make the triage decision with its reasoning in view.

A queue you can prioritize

Search by company, industry or location. Filter by verdict and required criteria, then sort the screening queue by fit, price gap and other deal signals.

Find a useful shortlist inside a growing backlog.

Compare the shortlist

Compare up to four deals side by side. Asking price, revenue, SDE and EBITDA retain their period, earnings basis and source, so differences stay visible.

Compare what each figure actually represents.

Read the evidence beside the verdict

Open the screen alongside the PDF, follow source-page links and inspect highlighted quotes. Coverage notes and review flags show where the file or figures need another look.

Check the evidence without reconstructing the analysis yourself.

Turn questions into follow-up

Copy broker questions, prepare information requests or draft a pass note. With Gmail connected, save a draft to review; otherwise, use the copyable text.

Carry the open questions into your next broker conversation.

Keep triage moving

Advance a deal, pass with a reason or snooze it with a follow-up task. Keyboard shortcuts, bulk passes, progress updates and file retries support working through a batch.

Keep the next action and the decision history with the opportunity.

Refresh the fit as your search evolves

Update your buy box and refresh existing fits from stored facts without another model call. You can also request screening for open deals already in your pipeline, with a cost estimate first.

Apply your current criteria to work you have already done.

BEFORE YOU START

The practical questions.

Which files can I submit for CIM screening?

Direct intake supports PDF, PPTX, DOCX and XLSX files, including folders, with up to 100 files per batch and 100 MB per file. Forwarded email attachments have separate limits of 25 attachments and 40 MB per attachment. Unreadable or password-protected files need attention before screening can finish.

Does a screen mean every page and figure has been verified?

No. Initial screening may use a selection of pages while fuller document analysis continues. SearchWare shows page coverage, source references and fields that need review. Use those signals to inspect the underlying documents before making an acquisition decision.

Does SearchWare find new deals or send broker emails for me?

Screening works on the files, forwarded emails and supported listing alerts you provide. It does not supply proprietary deal flow or sign into members-only listing sites; those alerts are evaluated from the details in the email. Broker questions and notes are copyable text or Gmail drafts for you to review and send.
