Three options. One honest comparison.
Most 2026 PE associates don’t actually choose between “traditional” and “ololand.ai” — they already have Anthropic’s Cowork finance plugins installed. The real question is what you add on top.
Manual Excel + Big-4 QoE + email threads. No structured taxonomy, no compliance hooks, no cross-deal memory.
Anthropic’s 5 vertical finance plugins drafting prose. No deterministic computation, empty hooks/, no forensic primitives, no persistent memory.
Same Cowork session. Deterministic engines, structured risk taxonomy (300+ leaf-level checks), forensic QoE, citation + audit hooks. Defensible record.

The AI learns your firm's preferences and improves with every deal.
M&A Agentic Benchmark: AI vs AI
Three AI systems tested on a real M&A due diligence deal. Identical prompts, no coaching, no re-prompting.
| System | Q1 (/25) | Q2 (/25) | Q3 (/25) | Q4 (/25) | Q5 (/25) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT Pro (GPT-4.1) | 17 | 18 | 15 | -- | -- | 50/75* |
| Claude Pro (Sonnet 4.6) | 21 | 23 | 23 | 24 | 23 | 114/125 |
| OloLand (Sonnet 4.6) | 24 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 25 | 124/125 |
*ChatGPT session expired before Q4-Q5. This is a reproducible eval — not a formal benchmark — and we invite independent replication.
General-Purpose AI vs. OloLand Harness
| Capability | General-Purpose AI | OloLand Harness |
|---|---|---|
| Frozen metrics | None | DCF/LBO/Monte Carlo deterministic engines |
| Persistent state | Lost on session close | Full deal lifecycle in PostgreSQL |
| Cross-deal learning | None | Outcome database + calibration |
| Auditability | None | Page/cell-level provenance chain |
| Risk quantification | Essays | 300+ leaf-level checks, dollar impacts, correlation |
| Analytical chain | Independent essays | Q3 risk -> Q4 WACC -> Q5 coverage ratios |
| Security | Consumer-grade | SOC 2 Type II (in progress), TEE-ready |
| Compliance screening | None | OFAC, CFIUS, HSR automated gates |
| Scenario simulation | Three point estimates | Monte Carlo with correlated distributions |
| Strategic modeling | Strategy essays | War game with 10,000+ simulations |
