Meet Archimedes.
The AI operating system for Standard.
Every stage of the investment lifecycle — sourcing, diligence, modeling, committee, and portfolio operations — run by coordinated AI agents on one proprietary platform. Built by Standard, for Standard.
Standard is not simply a private equity firm. It is an AI-enabled investment platform.
The complete lifecycle, compounding.
Most firms bolt software onto an analog process. Archimedes is the process — every stage feeding context to the next.
Source
AI discovers and scores every acquisition opportunity in our markets — before it reaches a process.
Diligence
Agents read the data room, extract risk, and assemble findings while the deal team sleeps.
Model
LBO, DCF, and comparable models generated in seconds — with full scenario and sensitivity coverage.
Decide
IC memos, risk analysis, and voting workflows produced and routed automatically.
Operate
Continuous portfolio monitoring, predictive alerts, and LP reporting from day one of ownership.
Every opportunity in the market. Scored, ranked, surfaced.
Archimedes continuously discovers acquisition opportunities from brokers, investment banks, founder outreach, proprietary market databases, SEC filings, news, and web-scale crawling — then scores each one against our thesis and re-ranks the pipeline as new signal arrives. Nothing waits for a banker’s teaser.
- 2,000+ independent operators mapped and monitored
- Succession and sale signals detected from public data
- Every opportunity scored on fit, quality, and timing
- CRM activity folded into sourcing intelligence automatically
The data room, read in hours. Not weeks.
Financial statements, legal documents, customer contracts, supplier agreements, debt schedules, HR files, and operating metrics — Archimedes reads all of it. It extracts risks, flags inconsistencies across documents, quantifies exposures, and drafts the diligence report before the first management meeting.
- Risk extraction across every document, automatically
- Cross-document inconsistencies flagged with citations
- Quality-of-earnings workpapers assembled by AI
- Diligence summaries and reports generated on demand
Institutional-grade models. In seconds.
LBO models, DCF, comparable-company and precedent-transaction analysis, scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, and capital-stack optimization — generated from the diligence record itself. Change an assumption and every downstream figure, chart, and memo updates in real time.
- Full LBO and DCF builds from extracted financials
- Sensitivity grids across entry, exit, and leverage
- Scenario and downside cases stress-tested automatically
- Capital structures optimized against return targets
From analysis to decision, without friction.
Archimedes assembles the entire decision package: investment memos, executive summaries, risk analysis, recommendation scores, and board packets — then runs the voting workflow itself. Every judgment is documented, every dissent recorded, every decision auditable.
- IC-ready memos generated in about ninety seconds
- Recommendation scores with explicit risk weighting
- Voting workflows with a complete decision record
- Board packets assembled and distributed automatically
Every company. Every metric. Every day.
After close, Archimedes never looks away. Revenue, EBITDA, cash, burn, debt, hiring, growth, and operational KPIs stream from every portfolio company into one view — benchmarked against underwriting, peers, and plan. Predictive analytics surface problems while they are still small.
- Live KPI dashboards across the platform
- Predictive alerts before variances become problems
- Automated benchmarking against the underwriting case
- Operational performance tracked to the metric level
LP reporting that writes itself.
Fund performance, capital accounts, and quarterly letters — generated from live portfolio data and distributed to every limited partner.
One system of record for the whole firm.
Relationship CRM
Every owner, banker, and broker relationship — scored by AI, with the next best action already drafted.
Market intelligence
Filings, news, permits, and broker chatter monitored continuously and mapped to our target markets.
Document intelligence
OCR and semantic parsing turn scanned agreements into structured, queryable deal data.
Not one AI. A firm of them.
Archimedes is built as a network of specialized agents — each expert in one discipline, all sharing context through a common memory. A risk found in diligence reprices the model, updates the memo, and briefs the committee. No hand-offs. No lost context.
