Red Flag Detection Agent
The agent acts as your automated lookout, scanning any set of documents against your firm's own list of red flags, from problematic contract clauses to worrying financial trends. It understands SA-specific risks such as B-BBEE ownership, change of control and POPIA obligations, and delivers a prioritised, cited risk register.

Indicative figures. We measure your own baseline in the first fortnight so the numbers you see are yours.
Your playbook, applied every time
Codify what your firm will not accept, and the agent applies that checklist to every document on every deal with the same rigour.
SA risks built in
B-BBEE fronting concerns, Competition Commission conditions, exchange control approvals and POPIA exposure are flagged alongside standard commercial risks.
Defensible findings
Every flag links to the exact passage or figure in the source, so your team can verify quickly and stand behind the conclusions.
Capabilities
Your firm's deal-breakers, found in every document before they cost you.
Built for PE and corporate finance deal teams, transaction lawyers, and bank credit and risk teams in South Africa.
Customisable risk playbooks
Codify your deal-breakers, including B-BBEE ownership and fronting, change-of-control clauses and POPIA obligations, as the instruction set for every scan.
Finds risks in unstructured text
Understands legal and commercial concepts, so it finds risky clauses even when they are worded in a non-standard way or drafted under SA law.
Data room-wide scanning
Applies your red flag checklist to thousands of documents at once, doing in hours what would take a team weeks of manual review.
Quantitative and qualitative flags
Flags problematic contract clauses as well as metrics in the AFS or management accounts that cross thresholds you set.
Prioritised, actionable alerts
Delivers a prioritised risk register, so your team can focus on the most critical issues, such as Competition Commission conditions or exchange control approvals.
Cited for defensibility
Every red flag carries a visual citation, linking to the exact highlighted passage or data point in the source document.

Deployment
Runs inside the tools your team already uses
The same agent and the same cited output, delivered three ways: through the AI assistant you have rolled out, on a model you host yourself, or inside your own software.
In the frontier assistant you already pay for
We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.

On a model you host yourself
Run the agent on open-weight models in your data centre or private cloud. Your deal documents never leave your network, which keeps POPIA and data residency straightforward.

- or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Inside your own software
Trigger a run from your own workflows, and push the finished output into your ERP, GRC or reporting systems. We build the integration with your team.

- Webhooks
- Batch jobs
- Embeddable review panel
Governed the same way, every route
Whichever way your team reaches the agent, identity, permissions and audit stay with your existing controls.
- Single sign-on through Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace
- Reads only the documents each user is already allowed to open
- Every tool call written to an audit log you can export
How we deliver it
One agent, three ways to hold it
Start where your team already works, then take it as far into your systems as the value justifies.
DATA SECURITY & PRIVACY
Your deal documents stay yours.
The agent runs inside your tenancy, reads only what each task needs, and never trains on your deal documents. Every step is logged so your auditors can see exactly what it touched.
Built for regulated work.
