Setup
Two inputs, both loaded into a Brain before you run the App:- The data room: the document set you need to assess. In the walkthrough, it’s a target’s publicly available investor relations data room.
- Your information request list: the questions or research areas you want covered. The demo uses a 23-question information request list, but any checklist or questionnaire works.
How it works
1
Upload the data room
Add the full document set to a Brain. The App handles the volume. This is the labor-intensive review it automates.
2
Upload your information request list
Add the questionnaire or research-area list you want the data room measured against.
3
Run the App and review the gap analysis
When the run completes, the results open as a gap analysis dashboard organized in a pyramid structure: overall coverage first, then detail on demand.
What you get
The output is built to drill from headline to evidence:- Overall coverage: how complete the data room is relative to your full information request.
- Breakdown by dimension: coverage for each section of your request list.
- Question-level detail. For every question: the nature of the gap, the coverage percentage, and its severity.
- Best available answer: for each question, the strongest answer the existing documents support, so you know what you can already work with.
- Recommended actions: a table of missing documentation to request, prioritized to improve your completion rate.
Pro tips
- Run it on day one. The earlier you know the gaps, the earlier the counterparty can fill them. Document requests are usually the long pole in a diligence timeline.
- Check the severity calls yourself. Every gap finding traces back to the underlying documents. Review the calls on your highest-priority questions before the request list goes to the other side.
- Re-run after each data room update. When new documents land, run the App again to track how coverage improves against the same request list.
