Acquisition Automation Map

The split

Engine

Agents extract every task from the samples: trigger, inputs, steps, output, minutes and monthly volume. The brain scores each task's checkability and risk and classes it: automate now, automate with human review, assist only, or keep human. Code builds the margin model from the target's own volumes and costs.

Rulebook

What correct means here, and the mistakes we've already caught. It grows one job at a time.

1. R01Every task cites the work samples it came from; nothing is inferred from the broker's summary alone.
2. R02Minutes and volumes come from the target's own records; where there are none, the map says 'estimate' and shows the range.
3. R03Anything that files, signs, pays or goes out in a client's name is at most 'automate with human review', at any confidence.
4. R04The margin model runs on the target's own numbers, holds revenue flat and shows every formula; peers' self-reported results never go in.
5. R05Every map names the tasks and client relationships that depend on one person, the owner above all.
6. R06Samples arrive anonymized or under NDA; client names and personal data are stripped before a model sees them.
7. R07We never bid for a firm we mapped for a client, and nothing learned in a client's diligence feeds our own deals.

Intake

• 20–50 anonymized completed jobs from the target, across its main services
