Why it matters

The risk is exposure, not inefficiency

Excel is right for the model. Execution is real money moving in steps with no shared record, not for lack of expertise but because nothing holds the whole picture.

Conflicting copies
A late change to the consideration lands in one schedule and not another.
Duplicate entry
The same issuance, payment or ownership movement is keyed into several records.
Fragmented evidence
Approvals and executed documents sit in email threads and unrelated folders.
Post-close reconstruction
The next team has to work out what actually happened at completion.

So the highest-consequence hour of the deal runs on the least controlled tool in the business.

What Disota is

The deal closes through Disota

Disota's funds flow screen: seven steps across three phases, with every entity's running balance recalculated at each step

The funds flow screen, running an illustrative close.

Calculated, not typed

The engine does the maths. Sources and uses must tie out.

Audited by default

Every figure keeps who changed it, when, and from what.

Every version, one place

Every team works on the same record. No emailed workbooks.

The AI proposes

You see exactly what it would write. Nothing is applied until you confirm.

Every document sits on the step it evidences: the agreement, the board approval, the payment instruction, the bank confirmation.

The knowledge layer

A close that checks itself

Excel and a chat model give you a workbook. Disota gives you a close that checks itself, says what is wrong, and remembers who agreed what.

Finds it
The step where the money stops adding up, not just the gap.
Explains it
The likely cause, in the language of the deal.
Offers the repair
Previewed and confirmed by you, like everything else.

Built from how deals are really structured, and held to tested rules, not a model’s best guess.

From completion to exit

The record stays current from completion to exit

Every change lands on the record with its document, so who owned what is known on any date.

Joiners
New managers come in on the terms already recorded.
Leavers
Shares move at the agreed price, approval attached.
Transfers
Each change of holder is dated and evidenced.
Add-ons
A bolt-on is the next close on the same record.
