Questions01

Seven things worth asking before a pilot.

What exactly is stet?

Stet is M&A diligence software the deal team runs on its own hardware. It works every discipline in one pass and ships each finding with the fix attached — the SPA mechanism, indemnity, escrow, price chip, or closing condition that addresses it. The engine drafts the findings; a qualified reviewer verifies and signs them. Until that signoff, every finding renders as 'Unverified.'

Which diligence disciplines does it cover?

Financial (quality of earnings, working capital, net debt), commercial, operations, legal, tax, human capital, IT and cyber, and regulatory — run in a single pass and reconciled against each other so a commercial assumption and a financial number are checked for agreement, not reviewed in separate silos.

Does it issue opinions, or replace our reviewers?

No. Stet is software: it surfaces findings and suggested adjustments — including quality-of-earnings adjustments — for your own qualified reviewer to verify and sign. It does not issue audit, QoE, legal, or tax opinions. Stet AI is an early-stage software company and holds no professional licenses or third-party security certifications today.

How does the roughly one-hour first pass work?

Parsing, reconciliation, source-linking, and the financial math run automatically on your hardware once the engine has data-room access. A reviewable first pass is the target within about an hour; a citation-complete draft is the target by end of week. These are software targets, not a guaranteed deliverable from a person — a reviewer still verifies and signs before anything leaves the room.

How does it keep our data secure?

Stet runs on-prem. There is no central store of client data, and the software never trains on your data. The only thing that leaves your hardware is a bounded set of zero-data-retention reasoning calls carrying document-derived excerpts — never whole files or documents. Each mandate is isolated from every other.

What deal sizes and sectors is it built for?

U.S. mid-market, $25M to $250M enterprise value, with concentration in industrial services, specialty distribution, B2B software, and tech-enabled services. Adjacent sectors on a case-by-case basis.

What does a pilot look like?

A scoped run on one live target — typically a screening pass plus a confirmatory loop. It produces the same artifact set as a full deployment: findings log, IC pack, and source trace.
