Capital markets intelligence

There's a deal
moving.
You're not
in the room.

A capital markets institution is actively evaluating a purchase in your space. Deal Sleuth AI's proprietary AI algorithm identified it from public and lawfully accessible sources, assembled the evidence, and built a structured intelligence file. It arrives in your inbox at no cost. You pay $5,000 only after your team confirms the opportunity is real.

§ 01How it works

Intelligence delivered.
No action required
on your part.

You don't register. You don't fill out a form. A dossier arrives in your inbox when we identify an opportunity in your space. That's the entire process on your end.

01
A proprietary AI algorithm identifies the opportunity
Deal Sleuth AI is powered by a proprietary AI algorithm that continuously ingests data across multiple public and lawfully accessible source APIs — conferences, filings, job postings, trade press, executive moves, procurement activity, relationship signals, and more. The algorithm independently scores and weights each signal, combining them to determine when evidence around a specific institution, buyer function, and business problem has crossed the threshold for human review. Our team then assesses the candidate opportunity before any dossier is released — ensuring that what reaches you has been evaluated by both the algorithm and an experienced analyst.
02
We assemble an analyst-grade intelligence file
Not a score. Not a keyword match. A structured dossier with the firm name, the specific contact you should call, and a clear description of what they are looking to do. Everything you need to pick up the phone, sourced and reasoned, not scraped and ranked.
03
It arrives in your inbox. Firm name masked.
We know which vendors serve which categories. When we identify a relevant opportunity, a masked dossier is sent directly to you. The firm name is withheld. You review the evidence and decide if it looks relevant. If it does, reply to confirm acceptance and unlock the full file. No payment is due at this stage.
04
You make the call. Pay only if it holds up.
You contact the institution. If your team confirms there is an active project materially aligned with the dossier, and you were not already in an active sales process for that specific opportunity before receiving it, the $5,000 dossier fee applies. The fee is not tied to winning the deal, receiving an RFP, or reaching proof of concept. If the opportunity does not hold up, nothing is owed.
§ 02What arrives

Not a lead.
A complete
intelligence file.

Every dossier is structured, sourced, and concluded. Not a data point. Not a probability score. A file, with evidence and a recommended action.

Dossier contents · standard file structure Delivered on acceptance · firm name masked until unlock
FIELD 01
The firm
The institution's name and website. Masked in the initial delivery. Unlocks immediately when you confirm acceptance of the dossier model.
FIELD 02
The contact
The specific person at the firm you should call — name and title. The decision-maker or influencer identified from the evidence.
FIELD 03
What they're looking to do
A clear description of the project, evaluation, or technology decision underway at the firm right now. Enough to walk into the conversation informed.
§ 03The intelligence method

Public sources.
Assembled insight.

Deal Sleuth AI uses a proprietary AI algorithm to monitor the capital markets ecosystem across multiple data source APIs. The algorithm scores and weights signals independently, combining them to determine when evidence has converged strongly enough to flag a candidate opportunity. Every candidate is then reviewed by our team before a dossier is released. What arrives is analyst-grade: sourced and structured by the algorithm, assessed and validated by a human before it reaches your inbox.

◎
Conferences and public transcripts
We monitor capital markets conferences and publicly available transcripts. When a COO mentions a specific technology gap in a session, that's a signal. When an operations head describes a manual process that's becoming untenable, that's a signal. These remarks are public. They're just not being systematically captured.
◈
Job postings and role descriptions
A firm posting two senior investment operations roles in sixty days is not a coincidence. The language inside those postings tells you even more: the technology they are replacing, the processes they are rebuilding, and the problems they are trying to solve. Job postings are forward-looking intelligence that most vendors ignore entirely.
◉
Executive moves and filings
A new CTO or COO is frequently a technology evaluation mandate in disguise. C-suite arrivals almost always conduct a vendor assessment within their first year. Earnings transcripts, regulatory filings, and annual reports contain explicit statements about operational priorities and technology gaps that signal what's coming next.
◇
Trade press and public activity
Trade publications, public procurement notices, and vendor ecosystem activity all carry forward-looking information about institutional technology decisions. Individually, each source tells a partial story. Together, when they converge, they tell you something is real.
◑
Funding and strategic announcements
New capital, strategic partnerships, and public announcements about growth or transformation all create technology evaluation cycles. Firms that have just raised, merged, or expanded are almost always in the market for infrastructure upgrades within 12 to 18 months.
◈
Vendor-to-buyer relationship signals
Publicly observable professional connections between fintech vendor teams and decision-makers at capital markets institutions carry meaningful signal. When professionals at a target institution have documented ties to vendors through shared industry events, groups, or professional history, it can indicate that a conversation or project is already forming. When this relationship signal converges with other independent indicators pointing to the same institution and the same problem, it adds a meaningful layer of confidence that activity is real and in motion.
◎
Public procurement and tender activity
Procurement portal postings, public tender notices, and vendor shortlist announcements are among the most explicit buying signals available. When an institution publishes a formal or informal procurement notice for technology infrastructure, the decision cycle is already underway. These signals are often missed because they appear across fragmented public sources — but when they surface and converge with other indicators, they move a dossier from probable to near-certain.
◐
Signal convergence scoring
A single signal is noise. Every dossier is released only after multiple independent public signals point to the same institution, buyer function, business problem, and timing. Our confidence score reflects that convergence. Dossiers that do not clear the internal threshold are suppressed, regardless of how compelling any single data point appears.
◉
Regulatory and compliance deadlines
Incoming regulation creates forced technology evaluation cycles on a known timeline. DORA, T+1 settlement, Basel requirements, SFDR, and similar mandates require institutions to assess and often replace infrastructure before a hard deadline. When a regulatory change is imminent and an institution's public signals suggest their current stack is not ready, that is a time-sensitive buying signal with a built-in clock. Convergence with other indicators makes it near-certain that an evaluation is underway.
◆
A single signal is noise. Convergence is what matters. Our confidence score reflects multiple independent public signals converging around the same institution, buyer function, business problem, and timing. We only release dossiers that clear our internal confidence threshold. Everything below it is suppressed, regardless of how interesting any single data point appears in isolation.
§ 04How Deal Sleuth AI compares

Without us.
And with us.

Most capital markets vendors find out about an opportunity when it's already public, already competitive, or already awarded. Deal Sleuth AI exists for everything that happens before that moment.

Without Deal Sleuth AI
With Deal Sleuth AI
How you find opportunities
They come to you through referrals or existing relationships — or you miss them entirely.
We bring them to you. Named institution, specific project, confirmed active evaluation.
Conference coverage
Whoever you could afford to send — if you could send anyone at all.
Every major capital markets conference, continuously monitored. You don't need to be there.
Cost to discover an opportunity
SDR salaries, conference travel, subscriptions — significant spend before a single opportunity is identified.
$0 until the opportunity is confirmed real by your own team.
Timing
You hear about it when it's already in the market — often too late to be a credible option.
Early. Before the shortlist forms. Before the RFP goes out. While there's still time to get in the room.
Who takes the risk
You. Every dollar spent on pipeline development is spent before you know if an opportunity exists.
Us. You pay nothing if the opportunity isn't real.
§ 05Questions

Questions we expect
from serious buyers.

Q.01 How do you find these opportunities?+
Deal Sleuth AI uses a proprietary AI algorithm that continuously monitors publicly available and lawfully accessible sources across the capital markets ecosystem, including conference transcripts, webinars, panel discussions, job postings, C-suite announcements, earnings calls, regulatory filings, trade press, procurement activity, and relationship signals. The algorithm independently scores and weights each signal, then determines when multiple independent signals have converged around the same institution, buyer function, business problem, and timing. Candidate opportunities that clear the algorithm's confidence threshold are then reviewed by our team before a dossier is released. Both the algorithm and a human analyst have assessed the opportunity before it reaches you.
Q.02 Are the sources public?+
Yes. All intelligence is derived from public or lawfully accessible sources. Deal Sleuth AI does not use material non-public information, confidential data, or any source that requires unauthorized access.
Q.03 Do you disclose your methodology?+
We describe the categories of sources we monitor. We do not disclose proprietary sourcing methods, signal weighting logic, or algorithmic details. The dossier itself shows you the evidence: sources are visible, reasoning is explained, and convergence is documented.
Q.04 Who else receives the dossier?+
Dossiers may be shared with more than one commercially relevant vendor. We do not provide exclusivity or disclose the full distribution list, because the model is built on market intelligence, not private placement. Distribution is determined by category fit. Deal Sleuth AI does not offer first-look rights or paid priority access.
Q.05 Do you offer exclusivity?+
No. Deal Sleuth AI does not offer exclusivity. Our model is designed around broad market intelligence, not exclusive placement. Each recipient can choose whether to accept or decline a dossier under the same confirmation process.
Q.06 Can we pay for first look?+
No. We do not offer first-look rights. Distribution is based on relevance to the opportunity, not paid priority. That keeps the model simple and avoids special access arrangements.
Q.07 Can you monitor our target account list?+
Not currently. Deal Sleuth AI monitors the broader capital markets ecosystem rather than customer-provided account lists. When we identify an active opportunity that appears relevant to your business, we bring it to you. You can accept or decline each dossier independently.
Q.08 What if we already know the company?+
Knowing the company is different from knowing the active opportunity. Many vendors already track the same institutions in their CRM. The relevant question is whether your team was already in an active sales process for the specific opportunity described in the dossier before receiving it. If you were, no fee applies. If the dossier surfaces a specific active opportunity your team was not already pursuing, the $5,000 dossier fee applies if your team validates it.
Q.09 What if we are already in an active sales process?+
If your team was already in an active sales process for the specific opportunity described in the dossier before receiving it, no fee applies. That carve-out is built into how the model works. We are not looking to charge for opportunities your team had already identified and was actively pursuing.
Q.10 What if the opportunity is not real?+
No payment is due. If your team contacts the institution and determines there is no active project materially aligned with the dossier, the cost to you is zero. We take the risk that the intelligence is accurate. You only pay when the opportunity is confirmed.
Q.11 What if we confirm the opportunity but do not win the deal?+
Yes. The dossier fee applies once your team confirms that the opportunity is real, regardless of whether you ultimately win the deal. Deal Sleuth AI's role is to identify and deliver an accurate, time-sensitive commercial opportunity. Your team controls the sales process from there. Deal Sleuth AI has no claim on future revenue from the opportunity.
Q.12 What is the fee?+
$5,000 per confirmed opportunity. A one-time dossier fee, flat and fixed regardless of deal size, contract value, or outcome. The fee applicable to each dossier is stated clearly when the dossier is delivered.
Q.13 Is this a referral fee or success fee?+
No. The $5,000 is a one-time dossier fee, not a success fee, commission, referral fee, revenue share, or percentage of deal value. Deal Sleuth AI is not a broker or referral agent. We do not take a share of any revenue generated from the opportunity.
Q.14 Do we need a demo or subscription to get started?+
No. There is no demo, subscription, platform access, or implementation. A masked dossier arrives when we identify an opportunity in your space. You review the summary, confirm acceptance if it looks relevant, and receive the full file. From there, your team validates the opportunity directly with the institution.
Q.15 What is Deal Sleuth AI, exactly?+
Deal Sleuth AI is a market intelligence desk. We identify evidence-backed, time-sensitive commercial opportunities across the capital markets technology ecosystem and bring them to relevant vendors before they become obvious. We are intentionally focused: not an intent-data dashboard, a lead list, an outsourced SDR firm, a broker, a referral agent, a custom research shop, or a named-account monitoring service. You do not need another dashboard. You need to know where live opportunities are forming.
§ 06Revenue ROI

How many signals do you
need to win?

Use your own numbers. See how quickly a single confirmed opportunity justifies the cost of many signals.

At $5,000 per confirmed opportunity, one well-timed enterprise deal typically covers every signal you ever receive. A single conference booth costs more. So does one business class flight. So does one month of an SDR salary.

§ 07Payment model

No upfront cost.
No payment unless
the opportunity is confirmed.

Every other intelligence product asks you to pay first and discover value later. Deal Sleuth AI works the other way around entirely.

Step 01 — Free
Receive the masked dossier
A masked dossier arrives when we identify an opportunity relevant to your business. Firm name withheld. You see the firm type, region, AUM range, project category, buying stage, and evidence summary. Enough to decide. No cost. No commitment.
Step 02 — Free
Confirm acceptance. Unlock the full file.
Reply to confirm acceptance and unlock the full file. The complete dossier — firm name, website, estimated AUM, full evidence, buyer context, and outreach angle — is released immediately. No payment is due at this stage. Confirming acceptance means you agree that the $5,000 dossier fee applies if your team later confirms the opportunity is real.
Step 03 — Only cost
Pay only when it's confirmed real
$5,000
After you confirm · not before
You contact the institution. If your team confirms the firm is actively evaluating, assessing, or selecting a solution materially aligned with the dossier, and you were not already in an active sales process for that specific opportunity before receiving it, the $5,000 dossier fee applies. The fee is not tied to winning the deal, receiving an RFP, or reaching proof of concept. If the opportunity does not hold up, nothing is owed.

$5,000 for a confirmed active opportunity. Not for a data point, a score, or platform access. The dossier fee is one-time and flat. It is not a success fee, referral fee, commission, or revenue share. Deal Sleuth AI has no claim on future revenue from the opportunity. We take the risk that the intelligence is accurate. Your team decides whether to pursue it. No payment unless the opportunity is confirmed real.

To put $5,000 in context:

A single trade conference booth runs $20,000 to $50,000 — before travel, hotel, or staff time. One business class flight to a European conference costs $5,000 to $8,000. A single SDR, fully loaded, costs $80,000 to $120,000 a year and still might never surface the opportunity we're bringing you. A $5,000 dossier fee — paid only after your own team confirms the opportunity is real — is not a marketing expense. It is the lowest-risk, highest-return line item in your pipeline budget.
