AI-native deal originationUK lower mid-market
The origination function, delivered as software.
Mandate Map watches every company in your mandate's universe, knows when one is becoming ready to sell, and makes the approach. Your team takes the meetings.
Live sponsor mandate, in daily use Enriched to your thesis Every action evidenced & revertible
“Please find the signed NDA attached; we're happy to proceed on that basis.”
A reply arrives. The record updates itself — and shows you the sentence that made it act, with a one-click revert. This is the moment “agentic” claims can't fake. Illustrative reconstruction, details changed.
01What Mandate Map is
Everyone else owns a stage.
Mandate Map owns the loop.
They sell you the map
Ten thousand companies in a list — and all of the work still yours. Coverage is thinnest exactly where bolt-ons live: small UK firms.
They keep the record
A faithful account of what happened — with nothing that knows what should happen next, or does it.
They do the sending
Volume without knowledge. No idea who is ready, no memory of what came back, no record to learn from.
Origination is a loop: watch the whole universe, know who is becoming ready to sell and why, make the approach, and learn from every reply. Mandate Map runs the whole loop — one mandate at a time.
Every company in the universe, monitored continuously — websites, filings, people.
Enriched and scored against your thesis — the workings shown on every figure.
Campaigns from your own mailbox — approve the campaign once and it runs, gated.
Replies read into the record; outcomes re-train the mandate's scoring.
Coverage in time, not just breadth
A buy-and-build watches 1,000+ companies to buy five. Mandate Map holds the whole universe and keeps looking after the list is built: websites re-scraped when they change, Companies House filing events, people moves. Companies are trajectories, not rows — the firm that wasn't ready in March gets caught the week its trajectory bends.
Enriched to your mandate — not a generic schema
Size is easy. The value is in the detail your thesis actually turns on: does the firm offer the specific service you're consolidating, how many qualified professionals against trainees, whether the work is recurring contracts or one-off projects. Mandate Map reads whatever the mandate cares about from each company's own website and filings — a new thesis is configuration, not a rebuild. On top sit succession and MBO signals — director ages, ownership changes, filing behaviour — scored against the mandate. Never a bare number: every figure ships with its evidence, its assumptions and a confidence flag a partner can pull apart.
Backtested against completed sales — workings on file.Outreach with judgement, from your own mailbox
The approach drafted in your voice, sequenced with follow-up ladders, and sent from your own address — approve the campaign once and the platform runs it, behind suppression lists and PECR recipient checks. Follow-ups go first: the costliest failure in origination is the thread that goes quiet.
First-contact disclosure on every cold approach. No thread dropped, no list burned.Every reply makes it sharper
Replies land in the record, not just an inbox: milestones tick with the verbatim sentence as evidence, reply tasks schedule themselves for the moment the sender named (“back to you after our year-end”), and every outcome — reply, meeting, rejection — feeds the mandate's scoring. Behavioural data no one can scrape.
The longer a mandate runs, the better it knows its market. That compounds.02Why you can trust it
An AI teammate you can interrogate.
Partners don't accept bare numbers from analysts. You shouldn't accept them from software. Six properties, enforced in the product:
It lives in the record
Its writes are the process state, on the same surface your team works — not a bot beside the work.
It reads primary sources
Real emails, real filings, real websites — never summaries of summaries.
Every write carries evidence
Verbatim, click-to-highlight, to the word that made it act.
Every write is reversible
One click, a mechanical compensating action. The ledger keeps the before and after.
Attribution is honest
AI actions say so. Rule-based ticks say so. Human assertions say so. No ambiguity about who did what.
Doubt queues, never guesses
Anything ambiguous lands in a human review queue — auditable, reversible — not in the record.
03The roadmap
Working agentic today.
Autonomous where it has earned it.
Everything reversible — reading, scoring, record-keeping — the AI already runs autonomously, ledgered and revertible. A sent email has no revert path, so sends graduate through a ladder of earned autonomy: each level unlocked by measured accuracy, inside a policy envelope you set.
Graduation is measured, not asserted. The action ledger records accepted-versus-reverted rates per action class, per mandate — autonomy unlocks on those observed rates, and can be dialled back the same way.
Figures from a fully mapped sector, 2026 — workings on file. Forward performance is measured per mandate.
04Early access
Deployed one mandate at a time.
Register interest.
Mandate Map deploys per mandate — white-labelled, with the universe, fields and scoring configured to your thesis. Onboarding is deliberately spaced, so early access runs on a waitlist: register interest and we'll come back to arrange a walkthrough.
Register interest
Tell us who you are and the mandate you're running — enough to scope the walkthrough.
A walkthrough on your own market
Not staged data: we take a sample of your mandate's universe and run the loop on it — the coverage, the thesis-specific enrichment, the scoring, and the evidence trail behind every figure.
A deployment of your own
Per mandate, white-labelled, your fields and stages — live in days, not quarters.
05Pricing
Priced per mandate. Billed to the deal.
One flat fee per acquisition mandate — seats generous, AI included. The cobbled alternative (data licence + deal CRM + sequencer + spreadsheets) runs £65–150k a year, with the worst coverage exactly where bolt-ons live.
- The full loop: universe watch, scoring, approach, reply capture
- Sponsor and management teams on one surface
- Evidence and one-click revert on every AI action
- Everything in Mandate, across the portfolio
- Additional mandates £6–8k each
- White-label per deployment — your colours, your clients' screens
- Every live mandate under one commercial agreement
- Onboarding for each new platform as it closes
- Priority roadmap input
Charged to the portfolio company as a deal cost — where it is a fraction of a single transaction's cost load. And because the pipeline belongs to the platform, the database transfers with the company at exit: the next owner inherits a market map, not a cold start.
06Built for confidential work
Deal data is handled like deal data.
UK data storage
Hosted in the London region, permanently. Built for UK PE confidentiality expectations.
Isolated by construction
Row-level security on every table; each deployment white-labelled and scoped to its own organisation.
Your mailbox, your control
Sending happens from your own address, removable in one click. Correspondence enters the record by forward and BCC copies.
Every AI action ledgered
Evidence, confidence, before-and-after — and a one-click revert. Nothing the AI does is unaccountable.
Campaigns approved, sends gated
Approve the campaign once and it runs — suppression-checked and PECR-classified, and the first email to any contact says who is writing and how to opt out. Sent from your own mailbox, removable in one click.
Honest attribution
Every change in the record names its actor — a person, a rule, or Mandate Map AI. No silent edits.
