What it sells
The AI context platform for private capital. Everything your firm…
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedPartners / COO / head of technology or operations at private equity, credit and other private capital firms (inferred; page addresses deal teams, IR and technical/AI teams).
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Firms want their AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) to know the firm's deal history and judgment rather than answer from scratch each prompt.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Metal ingests files and systems of record (SharePoint, Egnyte, DealCloud, email, data rooms) into a Context Graph, then runs triggered workflows such as CIM write-up, NDA review against prior NDAs, DDQ auto-population and portfolio monitoring with a human review gate and write-back.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Enterprise software platform; value argument is that structured context is resolved once so agents use fewer tool calls and fewer tokens per query.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Demo-led enterprise sales (Book a Demo); named case study with Clearlake and a Berkshire Partners story; integrates via open API and native MCP server.
