Your next mandate doesn’t need another analyst.

Cedora runs the mechanics of a sell-side process, from the pitch deck to bid analysis, so a small firm or a solo advisor can carry more mandates at the same standard.

Thirteen stages. Cedora produces the artifact at eight of them and tracks the rest.

Copper marks a stage where a finished file lands on your desk for approval. Hollow marks a stage you run; Cedora keeps the record and the status report. Stage by stage.

Eight agents, each with one job and one output.

The agents in detail

Pitch

Researches the company and sector and builds a customized pre-call deck on the firm’s own template.

Preliminary Market View

Normalizes the income statement with add-backs, produces LTM figures and a valuation range memo.

Buyer Intelligence

5,600+ registered PE sponsors with extracted mandates and 10,000+ dated transactions. Ranks and builds the buyer list; the advisor approves or excludes.

Teaser

One-page blind teaser with enforced redaction rules.

CIM

Outline, open-items request list, management Q&A intake, then page-by-page prose with per-page approval. Quotes come only from Q&A answers.

Process Manager

Stage tracking, CA and NDA send steps, and the weekly process status report as a finished deck.

Bid Analysis

Ranks IOIs and LOIs on certain value, cash at close less escrow, not headline. Flags structure issues in plain language. Client memo plus comparison workbook.

Diligence Q&AComing

Data room question intake, drafted answers from the record, advisor sign-off before release.

Nothing is recorded until it passes two independent checks. Nothing ships that fails.

Deterministic validator

Code, not judgment. The draft is rejected outright if any rule fails.

  1. a.Every number in the output exists in the inputs.
  2. b.Totals tie out to their components.
  3. c.No internal strings, prompts or field names in the output.
  4. d.No truncated tables, lists or sentences.

Independent AI reviewer

A separate model, with no access to the drafting context, reads the artifact twice.

  1. a.As a buyer’s associate: would this hold up on a first read at a sponsor?
  2. b.As the owner: is this my business, described the way I would describe it?
  3. c.Comments are returned to the draft, not to the client.
