Method
How we reach a number you can rely on.
Arithmetic that agrees with itself is not the same as arithmetic that agrees with its source.
The team
Specialists, working blind to each other.
Birdie Capital runs an AI deal team under the direction of its partners. Specialist workstreams for financial, tax, legal and growth analysis each receive the same evidence pack with the same instruction: verify it, do not trust it. None sees the others' work. The partners set every engagement, own the judgement and sign off every deliverable.
Independent challenge
A second opinion from a different model.
Once the specialists and the principal have signed off, the full analysis goes to an independent critic built on a different foundation model. It checks reasoning, not only arithmetic: whether the conclusions follow from the evidence cited, whether findings that should conflict do, and whether the work assumes anything it has not established. Arithmetic errors and unsupported claims block the document.
Seven rules every document meets
- 01
Every figure traces to a named source. A reviewer who was not involved can check each one without asking anyone a question.
- 02
Estimates are labelled as estimates. You never have to guess which numbers are facts and which are our judgement.
- 03
Each document opens with its finding, in one plain line, before any evidence.
- 04
Each document states what is still unknown.
- 05
It is written for someone who was not in the room.
- 06
Nothing binds. Every document states the basis on which it was prepared and the advice it does not replace.
- 07
Nobody signs off their own work.
Context before numbers
Buyer type, tax position and financing are fixed before the first number is produced, and our tooling refuses combinations that cannot exist. An assumption from one client's file cannot quietly carry into another's.
Two standing rules
A negative search result is not proof. An empty result usually means the extraction is wrong, not that the thing is absent. Check a second way.
Disclose your own corrections unprompted. It is the only thing that earns the standing to tell anyone else that theirs is out.
The professional boundary
We are not accountants, lawyers or tax advisors, and we do not replace them. Binding steps on any transaction require a quality-of-earnings accountant, licensed counsel and a licensed tax advisor. Wherever you need one, our work flags it in the body, not in a footnote.
