The desk’s experience.
Put to work earlier.
The Deal Butler is the face of our AI-assisted review: a way to bring the firm’s institutional knowledge, prior deal experience and working intelligence into the first read of a transaction.
01 / Screen the opportunity
Organize the property, sponsorship, business plan and requested capital. Surface missing information and compare the request with what the desk has learned across prior engagements.
02 / Test the story
Support feasibility, underwriting and return analysis by making assumptions, sensitivities and unanswered questions visible for the team’s review.
03 / Prepare the connections
Help narrow relevant capital categories and known mandate fit so the team can spend more time on the right conversations. People own the judgment, relationships and final recommendations.
For sponsors: less repetition, earlier visibility into gaps and a more focused path from introduction to an informed capital discussion.
After your first closing: Credit Committee membership includes access to the Deal Butler, extending the working relationship into your next project.
