Deal evaluation for private equity

Your fund's proprietary way to evaluate deals, through the lens of your team and trusted SMEs.

Chiron applies the encoded insights of your partners who have underwritten similar deals, identifies what doesn't hold together, and comes up with the questions to ask. No documents are ever stored.

An 80% gross margin in health tech SaaS usually has implementation cost buried in COGS. Ask where onboarding labor sits before you believe the margin bridge.

The lens

A model has read everything. It has underwritten nothing.

The lens is accumulated judgment in structured form: how a good investor reads an 80% gross margin in health tech SaaS, what the third add-on tells you about a roll-up, what a reclassification looks like. It is built from interviews about deals people actually evaluated, including the ones that went wrong, and from your firm's own past decisions.

Named contributor on every line

Not an anonymous assertion. Every insight carries the name and credential of the person who said it.

Verbatim excerpt, timestamped

Each insight links to the exact words it came from, with an interview reference and timestamp, so you can check it.

Scoped to deal type

Health tech is not multifamily. Insights fire only on deals in their category, and your lens is personalized to your firm.

How it works

Extract, evaluate, flag.

Upload the CIM, the model, and the supporting documents. Chiron extracts terms, capital structure, projections, and operating metrics into one comparable record, each item traceable to the document it came from. Then it evaluates that record: structural inconsistencies the documents themselves reveal, plus flags triggered by your lens.

1

The record

One structured, comparable record of the deal, with a source on every extracted item.

2

The flags

What does not hold together, and where a lens insight fired, who says so and why.

3

The question list

Every flag becomes a written question. Your team marks each resolved, open, or dropped, and records what came back. That record sharpens the lens on the next deal.

What to investigate. Never what to conclude.

Your data

Nothing you upload is stored, pooled, or read by us.

This is architecture, not a policy page. Your counsel is welcome to verify it.

Documents are not stored

Files are processed in memory. Chiron extracts the structured data and discards the file, keeping only a hash so the same document is recognized across your team. The tradeoff, stated openly: there is no in-app source viewing, because there is no stored source.

Nothing is pooled

No cross-firm aggregation, and no opt-in to one either. Your lens, your record, and your questions live in your workspace and nowhere else.

No human review, no training

Access-controlled processing with no human review and no training on your data. Ephemeral, zero-retention processing at the model provider.

The full architecture is on the security page.

About the name

The teacher whose lens you carry.

Chiron was the centaur who taught Achilles, Asclepius, and Jason. He was not famous as a warrior or a healer. He was the one whose judgment the great ones carried into every decision they made afterward, long after they left him. The Greeks set him apart from every other centaur by exactly that: the rest were impulsive, and Chiron was the one who knew things and passed them on. He taught different students different things, the way a lens is personalized by firm and by deal type. And his knowledge came from long practice, not a divine grant, which is the difference between accumulated judgment and a general-purpose model. That is the line this product stays on: it surfaces what to investigate, never what to conclude.
