The Unstructured Data Problem

Across the lower and middle market, deal teams face the same recurring bottleneck: documents. Not dozens—hundreds. CIMs, tax returns, financial statements, HR files, contracts, payroll reports, environmental filings, operational logs, and an endless supply of PDFs, scans, spreadsheets, and emails that rarely show up in clean, usable formats.

This unstructured data problem is the silent tax on every deal.

It slows diligence.
It reduces accuracy.
It creates uncertainty.

IDP

Rebuilds into decision-ready data

Think of IDP as: A digital analyst that reads every document, verifies every statement, and traces every number back to its source.

An IDP engine like Tirekickr can:

  • Extract structured financial data from PDFs
  • Detect mismatches or anomalies across files
  • Reconstruct multi-year GAAP-aligned financials from fragmented documents
  • Reconcile claims in the CIM with what the source data actually shows
  • Map content into standard diligence frameworks
Crucially, Tirekickr does not extrapolate or fabricate answers. Every output is grounded in source truth.

Why IDP Matters in M&A

M&A isn't about chatting with AI—it's about validating accuracy, reducing unknowns, and uncovering risk.

Massive Time Savings

Eliminate repetitive manual tasks: reformatting PDF tables, correcting misaligned financials, normalizing categories, reconciling period data. What once took days now happens in minutes.

Accuracy That Humans Alone Can't Match

IDP processes every value, every statement, every page—all consistently, without overlooking anything. The result: A single source of truth you can defend.

The Truth Advantage

Most deal risk comes from mismatches between what sellers say and what their documents actually prove. IDP closes that gap by tracing all claims back to sources.

Diligence Arbitrage

Let machines process documents so humans can process decisions. Once data is structured and validated, specialists can instantly evaluate claims and build models.

Faster, Smarter Closings

The combination of speed, accuracy, truth-based validation, and automated analysis creates a simple result: Deals move faster, with fewer surprises and stronger conviction.

Where Tirekickr Is Today

To stay transparent and grounded in truth, here's what's live in production today.

Live Now

  • Extract structured financial data from PDFs
  • Reconstruct GAAP-aligned multi-year financial statements
  • Identify mismatches or anomalies across documents
  • Compare CIM claims to the underlying data
  • Map documents into standard diligence frameworks
  • Produce structured, reliable data that humans or agents can act on immediately

Tirekickr already removes the most painful, time-consuming parts of early diligence.

Coming Soon

  • Automated financial modeling (integrating IDP output directly into analysis-ready models)
  • Expanded data consolidation including email chains, meeting notes, and call summaries
  • Deal-by-deal sharing & collaboration enabling cleaner workflows across teams
  • Automated offer and memorandum drafting powered by verified, source-grounded IDP data

Everything on this roadmap builds on our core principle: Truth first. Never extrapolate. Never guess. Always verify.
