How It Works

1

Ingest

Connect XLSX, PPT, PDFs, data rooms, and SQL. Bring your templates.

2

Execute

The agent follows your playbooks to extract, compute, and assemble pages with cited sources.

3

Deliver

Outputs flow back to Excel, PowerPoint, and CRM with diffs and reviewer gates.

AI

An agentic research platform built for banker outputs—CIM authoring, buyer tagging, KPI packs—with Excel and PowerPoint write‑back.

Access & Security

Where it runs

Cloud, private cloud (VPC), or fully air‑gapped on‑prem. Pick the environment that matches your firm’s requirements.

Which models

Use leading cloud models (GPT‑4, Claude, Gemini), dedicated private endpoints, or open‑source models for maximum control.

Controls & compliance

  • SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 programs
  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • SSO/SAML/SCIM, RBAC, least‑privilege
  • Customer‑managed keys (Enterprise), data residency options
  • Audit logs and environment isolation
  • No data retained beyond processing; standard 90‑day retention, configurable on Enterprise

Team

Every M&A deal generates the same grunt work: comp tables, buyer lists, LBO models, IC memos. Junior analysts spend 60-80% of their time on repetitive tasks that could be automated.

We're building the execution agent that eliminates this bottleneck. Patterns handles the heavy lifting so your team can focus on judgment, relationships, and deal-making—the work that actually drives value.

Led by operators who've lived through the late nights building models and know exactly where AI can transform deal execution.

Ex-Investment Banker

What you'll do: Shape our product roadmap by translating real deal execution pain points into AI-powered solutions. Own client relationships with PE/IB teams, design workflows that eliminate grunt work, and ensure our automations actually work in practice.

What we're looking for: 3-7 years at a top-tier bank or PE shop. You've built countless models, know every Excel shortcut, and can spot a bad comp table from across the room. Bonus points if you've automated parts of your workflow or wished you could.

Why you'll love this: Finally build the tools you always wished existed. Work with cutting-edge AI while solving problems you've lived through. Help other analysts escape the 3am model-building grind.

AI Engineer

What you'll do: Build production AI systems that handle real financial data and generate analyst-grade deliverables. Design LLM workflows for document extraction, financial modeling, and research automation. Own the technical architecture that makes AI reliable for high-stakes decisions.

What we're looking for: Strong Python/ML background with production LLM experience. You understand both the power and limitations of current AI models. Experience with financial data, Excel automation, or document processing is a huge plus.

Why you'll love this: Work on AI applications that actually matter—helping smart people escape tedious work. Build systems that handle billions in deal value. Shape the future of how finance teams operate.
