I wanted to share how we think about it at DealsPlus. I think our framework is widely applicable for vertical software so may also be useful for our PE customers as they navigate through AI for their own organisations and portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At DealsPlus, we start from a simple principle: we are a system of record for PE ownership structures and equity valuations, driving key workflows like valuation, accounting, compliance, and exits. That data needs to be exact \u2013 i.e., right 100% of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LLMs are, by nature, probabilistic. They reason, predict, and synthesise; and that is not a weakness, that is their point. But it means AI belongs around the system of record, not inside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what excites us. AI can make systems of record like DealsPlus extraordinarily powerful: at the data creation stage, when a fund is structuring a deal and designing a cap table, and at the consumption stage, when teams need accurate data to drive outcomes like accounting, valuations, reporting, and exits. The system of record sits in the middle: providing accurate and reliable data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DealsPlus AI framework<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"655\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dealsplus.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-23-04-2026-at-10.08.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dealsplus.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-23-04-2026-at-10.08.jpeg 655w, https:\/\/www.dealsplus.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-23-04-2026-at-10.08-300x243.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This framework drives our roadmap and clarifies how DealsPlus can evolve from a system of record to a system of outcomes.
