01Workflow 01 / 06Pitch book drafting.
YODA AI assembles the first-pass pitch book from the firm’s coverage history, prior mandates, and current market data — positioning, precedent transactions, and valuation framing already in place. Bankers open a draft, not a blank template. The senior review starts where it should: on judgment, not formatting.
ScenarioA coverage MD asks for a pitch to a sector target Friday afternoon. Monday morning, the draft is built from the firm’s three prior looks at the same company.
02Workflow 02 / 06Live comparable company analysis.
YODA AI builds and refreshes the comp set from live market data, screens for the right peers, and flags when a multiple has moved enough to matter. The set stays current between the day it’s built and the day it’s presented.
ScenarioTrading comps pulled Tuesday are stale by the IC on Thursday. YODA AI refreshes them the morning of, and notes which names re-rated.
03Workflow 03 / 06M&A model population and refresh.
YODA AI populates the operating model from the source documents, carries the assumptions forward, and refreshes the merger math when inputs change. The analyst reviews the logic instead of rekeying the inputs.
ScenarioA revised management case lands at 9pm. The accretion/dilution runs by morning, with the deltas from the prior version marked.
04Workflow 04 / 06IC / Investment Committee memo.
YODA AI drafts the IC memo — thesis, risks, valuation, precedent — structured the way the committee expects, and pulls forward what the IC asked on comparable deals. The memo arrives already anticipating the room’s questions.
ScenarioBefore the memo goes out, YODA AI surfaces the two objections the IC raised on the last deal in this sector.
05Workflow 05 / 06Coverage relationship management.
YODA AI keeps the coverage history intact: every touchpoint, every prior process, every reason a deal did or didn’t happen. When a name comes back into play, the full relationship is there — not just what the current banker remembers.
ScenarioA former target re-enters the market. YODA AI reconstructs the four-year coverage arc before the first call.
06Workflow 06 / 06Deal sourcing from coverage history.
YODA AI reads across the firm’s coverage to surface targets that fit the current thesis — companies the firm already knows, patterns across prior mandates, sectors where the relationship groundwork is done. Sourcing draws on what the firm has already built.
ScenarioA sponsor asks for bolt-on ideas. YODA AI returns targets the firm has covered, ranked by relationship depth and strategic fit.
