Case Study: TSS

Total Specific Solutions leverages raia to accelerate M&A due-diligence with an Agentic Workforce


Project Goals

Objective

AI-Driven Approach with raia

Screen more acquisition targets without adding head-count

Auto-extract 80 + KPIs from Confidential Information Memoranda and run a proprietary Fit-Score™ model inside each AI agent

Cut first-pass memo drafting time from days to hours

Have the Deal Screener Agent assemble an executive summary, red-flag list and benchmark tables immediately after upload

Provide on-demand answers across thousands of historical deals

Use a vectorized knowledge base of 10 000 + memos, diligence packs and post-acquisition reviews, searchable via chat

Create a learning loop between post-deal performance and new screenings

Deploy a Post-Deal Insight Agent that ingests monthly portfolio data, updates benchmarks and retrains scoring weights


1 | Company & Challenge

Total Specific Solutions (TSS) acquires and grows vertical-market software businesses throughout Europe. Each potential deal arrives with hundreds of pages—financials, tech audits, HR reports—that analysts must parse quickly. As the pipeline widened, three pain points emerged:

  1. Document Overload – Manual review could take several days per target.

  2. Metric Normalisation – KPIs like NRR, gross retention and Rule-of-40 vary wildly across accounting structures.

  3. Knowledge Drift – Lessons from prior deals were buried in nested folders and unavailable at the moment of analysis.


2 | Why TSS Chose raia

  • High-capacity ingestion—Launch Pad can bulk-vectorize thousands of PDFs and spreadsheets in minutes.

  • Custom code hooks—TSS’s proprietary Fit-Score™ Python script plugs directly into each agent’s reasoning chain.

  • Granular security—Project-level silos ensure live deal data is visible only to the assigned pod.

  • CoPilot feedback—Analysts can up-vote, down-vote and edit AI outputs in real time, tightening accuracy before full rollout.
