A second brain for the work behind a deal.

We’re building a financial knowledge workspace that helps advisers connect company documents, investigate figures and carry open questions forward with the deal team.

01 / The business behind the work

The numbers need a path back to the source.

Preparing a business for a transaction involves models, documents and questions that rarely arrive in a convenient order. Advisers need to inspect the financial picture, understand where a figure came from and resolve open issues with the deal team.

The second-brain direction gives that work a shared context. Tobin’s implemented workspace connects deal analysis, adjustments, statements and extraction coverage, with source-figure drill-down and internal queries that let people investigate an observation instead of simply accepting an answer.

02 / The work in practice

Keep the adviser close to the evidence.

AI assistance sits alongside deterministic checks for specified classes of claims. Findings are organised around the observation, its implication, supporting evidence, owner and state, so the adviser can see what deserves attention and who is taking it forward.

This remains an active build. Broader company knowledge is the direction; autonomous remediation, continuous monitoring and writes to customer systems are future scope. The useful starting point is an inspectable workspace for the deal team’s actual questions.

How the pieces connect

From company context to a question worth asking.

Explanatory workflow
  1. 01

    Start with a company

    Bring the financial material into a shared deal context.

  2. 02

    Question a figure

    Move from analysis to the source behind an observation.

  3. 03

    Keep the question

    Give an unresolved issue an owner and a place in the team’s work.

A simplified explanation of the work. This is not an application screen or a depiction of customer records.

Access & accountability

Where control matters.

Deal-context checks and source traceability are part of the implementation. AI-assisted observations stay open to adviser review; a generated answer is not a guarantee of correctness.

The commercial purpose

Why it is worth building.

Give advisers a clearer financial picture to investigate and discuss, while retaining the context behind the conclusions they present.
