    Sorai is developing a due diligence platform designed for the high-pressure environment of mergers and acquisitions. The company's stated goal is to provide a central operating record for private equity firms, corporate development teams, and transaction advisory professionals, addressing the fragmented and time-consuming nature of traditional diligence workflows. The platform is being engineered to enhance the speed, transparency, and control that deal teams have over the entire lifecycle of a transaction.Set to launch in 2026, the Sorai platform leverages artificial intelligence to streamline critical diligence activities. The system focuses on two primary workspaces: Financial Diligence and Deal Intelligence. Within the Financial Diligence module, users can manage Quality of Earnings (QoE) and revenue quality analysis, working capital and debt tie-outs, and track adjustments with direct links to source schedules. The Deal Intelligence workspace allows teams to map findings to deal economics, apply risk scoring based on source documents, and generate reports for investment committees directly from the live record. By creating an evidence-linked board and a clear audit trail, Sorai aims to replace inefficient processes that rely on scattered documents and spreadsheets. The platform is designed so that senior partners can review the same evidence chain that analysts used, ensuring a single source of truth and expediting decision-making. While the core product concentrates on financial diligence and intelligence, it is built to serve as the central record for teams running financial, tax, and legal diligence, with the latter two workstreams remaining with outside counsel who can integrate into the workspace.
