Run a free Red Team on your CIM
Paste a CIM, get a contrarian report — deal-killers, logical fallacies, downside scenarios, and a skepticism score. No login, no credit card. The Red Team engine actively challenges your investment thesis and flags the risks the listing broker won't mention.
- Deal-killers: identifies factors that could sink the acquisition (customer concentration, key-person dependency, lease risk)
- Logical fallacies: flags over-optimistic growth assumptions and misleading comparisons in the seller's narrative
- Downside scenarios: stress-tests what happens if revenue drops 20% or a key customer leaves
- Skepticism score: 0-100 rating of how much contrarian scrutiny the deal warrants
What DealForge does
DealForge is an AI-powered M&A and investment intelligence platform built for searchers, independent sponsors, and small deal teams evaluating business acquisitions. It covers the full deal lifecycle: source, analyze, structure, close, manage, exit.
Screen a CIM in under 3 minutes
Drop a CIM, P&L, or any deal document. DealForge extracts every data point — financials, location, industry, 100+ fields — and delivers a scored report across five dimensions: Financial Health, Market Position, Growth Opportunities, Risk Assessment, and Valuation. Each dimension includes a confidence level, strengths, red flags, and cited sources. You get an overall recommendation (Strong Buy through Strong Pass) with a numeric score out of 100.
Model SBA 7(a) and seller financing
The Deal Structurer models acquisition financing with multiple tranches: SBA 7(a)/504 loans, seller financing, investor equity, earnouts, mezzanine debt, and ROBS. It calculates DSCR, cash-on-cash return, total buyer cash-in, buyer equity at close, and runs stress tests for revenue drops (10/20/30%) and interest rate increases (+2%). An Auto-Structure engine ranks 8 common financing templates by viability.
AI you can actually trust
Every score cites its sources, shows a confidence level, and is red-teamed — encrypted (AES-256), your files aren't used for training. No black-box AI. Every finding links to the source it came from, every dimension carries a confidence rating, and a contrarian Red Team engine challenges the thesis before you commit capital.
- Cited sources: every finding links to its origin
- Confidence levels: High / Medium / Low on every dimension
- Red-teamed: contrarian analysis on every deal
- AES-256 encrypted: your CIMs are encrypted at rest
- No training on your data: your files are never used for model training

Built by R Wyatt Giles
DealForge is built by R Wyatt Giles — an engineer and business-operations person who spends his time on AI orchestration, getting systems to do the analytical grunt work reliably. Screening an acquisition is exactly that kind of work: extracting numbers, pressure-testing a broker's story, modeling the financing. He built DealForge to do that first pass, with every output citing its sources and showing its confidence — because a screening tool you can't check is worse than none.
