A lean team runs the whole pursuit here. The agent screens targets, frames valuation against precedent deals, and builds the board materials in your house style, and every number on the page opens to its source.
From first screen to board approval, in one window.
Corporate development carries a bank-sized workload with a fraction of the bench. A live pipeline of targets, a valuation that has to hold up against precedent deals, and a board that wants the backup, all from the same handful of people. The work scatters across FactSet, Excel, the data room, and the slide deck, and the night before the board meeting is where a stale figure slips through. ArcaLabs collapses the pursuit into one surface and keeps every claim traceable to its source.
Open a target and you get an IDE for the pursuit: the agent in the chat, your live files in the editor, the full file tree on the right. The agent reads the data room and the model, pulls comps and precedents, and drafts the next turn in place. Definitions hold your treatments for adjusted EBITDA, synergies, and net debt as the deal's source of truth, and version pills are your history of every change.
Point the agent at a sector and it builds the target screen and the market map for you: a scored shortlist against your criteria and a segmented landscape of who plays where, both pulling fundamentals and ownership from FactSet. Screens and market maps are agent-built workflows rather than packaged product objects, so they refresh on the live data and live in the deal alongside the model and the deck.
Real PowerPoint, Excel, and Word, not a static export. The agent works from your golden-copy templates and your firm's profile, so the strategy committee deck, the valuation model, and the board memo come out on brand and ready to present. Preview and download in full fidelity, every figure still traced to source.
Frame the price against the market: comps, fundamentals, consensus estimates, and a dedicated M&A precedent database for the deals that have actually cleared in your space, FactSet by default. The agent pulls them into the model and the deck as a cited answer, so the valuation you bring to the board rests on live, licensed data rather than a spreadsheet someone built two acquisitions ago.
Click the flag on any cited figure and the source opens in app, scrolled to the exact line in the 10-Q or the FactSet record. Step through the tagged range, mark each reviewed, and bring the board a deck where the backup is one click away. Every email, meeting, and agent action also lands in a live, exportable deal log, so the process record is ready for the board and the file without a second job.
