The exclusions and sustainability requirements we’ve built at Ardabelle are critical to both our value creation and to our reporting transparency. Rigor and speed are typically a trade-off. With this AI tool, we get both.

Prove it on your history
Test it against decisions you know.
We’ll apply your criteria to a small selection of past deals your team advanced and passed on, producing example screening memos with supporting sources. Assess the reasoning, the gaps surfaced and the time saved before committing to a full build.
Measure
Agree what good looks like.
Agree how to measure criteria fit, source quality, important gaps surfaced and time spent reviewing. Agreement with past decisions measures alignment, not investment returns.
Build
Scope the system you need.
If the pilot proves useful, we’ll scope a separate paid build. Features, deployment and ongoing support are agreed before work begins.
