Private Equity Diligence, Rebuilt
Connect every source. Create one truth layer. Let the agent run.

Know if the deal holds up. One truth layer for diligence.

Pastel connects contracts, documents, finance, and stakeholder input into one operating picture, then agents run the follow-up needed to keep diligence moving.

Decision view

What is driving next-quarter EBITDA risk?

Key takeaway

April renewals drive most near-term risk. One pricing exception is already affecting margin, and two vendor schedules are still missing.

From company data to coordinated action.

Inside Pastel

The live workspace behind the operating graph.

Pastel gives the deal team one system for evaluating the asset, seeing what is missing, and pushing the follow-up through the company without losing context.

Diligence workspace

See the risk and the evidence together.

Pastel pulls alerts, contract signals, and review priorities into one operating view so the team can evaluate the deal without stitching the context together by hand.

  • Answer deal questions from linked evidence.
  • Keep advisors, lenders, and operators on the same view.
Contracts & documents

Know what is in the room and what still is not.

See signed agreements, supporting schedules, and missing documents without losing the thread between owners, counterparties, and diligence workstreams.

  • Track readiness by category and owner.
  • Spot missing support before requests pile up.
Financial timeline

Map the obligations that can move the model.

Renewals, escalators, payouts, and accounting events stay visible as forward-looking operating signals, not buried footnotes.

  • See what is coming and who needs to respond.
  • Connect terms to financial impact before diligence turns reactive.
Agent & playbooks

Agents turn diligence gaps into forward motion.

When support is missing or context is incomplete, Pastel launches the right playbook, contacts the right people, and keeps the checklist moving without manual chase.

  • Request documents over Slack and email.
  • Run role-based playbooks that act like virtual teammates.

Features

A decision layer, a diligence workspace, and agents that move the work.

Pastel is designed to help the team see whether the deal holds up, then reduce the manual coordination required to finish diligence and carry the context forward.

Document chase

Request what is missing.

Draft outreach, tag owners, and keep the checklist current without the deal team becoming project managers.

Owner follow-up

Reach the right person with context.

Pastel contacts the CFO, controller, or business lead with the exact request tied to the deal.

Playbooks

Keep the workflow running after close.

Carry diligence issues into live workstreams instead of leaving them behind in a memo.

Built for deal teams, operating partners, and finance owners.
Security

Designed for sensitive deal work.

Diligence tools need more than a good interface. They need clear access control, traceability, and a workflow the team can trust with confidential company information.

Permissioned access Audit trail Traceable outputs Human oversight
Controlled visibility

Keep sensitive deal work inside permissioned workspaces with the right owners in the loop.

Traceable actions

Keep answers, requests, and owner follow-up tied back to the operating context behind the deal.

Human-in-the-loop execution

Let agents move the process while keeping the deal team in control of the workflow and decisions.
