M&A software configured around how your team already decides.
Dealport Workbench runs configured M&A Solutions — Scout Target Research first — built from Dealport's research capabilities and set up around your team's judgment, roles, evidence standards, and review points. We implement it, license it by the year, and can make the approach to owners for you.
Licensed by the year. Configured around your process, not the other way round.
Every company arrives researched, in the shape your team already reads.
Scout Target Research searches 14M+ company records against each Brief, researches every fit, and returns the Finding in the form your deal team approved — with the Requests it raised and the Decisions you made kept alongside.
What the Workbench is.
One Solution per use case
Your judgment, built in
Running whether or not you're logged in
Software that works whether or not anyone is logged in.
Scout isn't a chatbot waiting for a prompt. Its Jobs run continuously against every open Brief — nothing to host, nothing to connect — and the Findings are waiting in the Project when your team sits down.

One licence, one implementation, and the outbound if you want it.

Plain answers, no jargon.
The Workbench, your configured Solutions, and Scout Target Research, licensed to your team for the year. Scout runs against every open Brief; the Solutions, the Findings, and the Artifacts are yours for the year.
One configured M&A use case — finding and researching targets against a Brief, assessing a bolt-on for a repeat acquirer, preparing an IC memo — built from Dealport's research capabilities and set up around your team's mandate, evidence standards, and review points. Scout Target Research is the first.
It depends on how many Solutions your process needs and how many handoffs we connect. We scope it with you before anything is signed, and the first market runs while implementation is still under way.
Yes. Solutions are versioned: your team drafts changes in the Solution Studio, and we publish and deploy the new Version with you. Nothing running changes until you say so.
No. A chatbot works while you're typing to it. Scout works while you're not — continuously, against every Brief, with nothing for you to host, connect, or prompt. You read what it produced and decide what happens next.
You do, in your own name, from your own inbox — Scout hands you the researched company and the reasons. If you would rather we did it, managed outbound is optional, scoped per engagement, on top of the licence.
