About · Tacit

The name is the method. Tacit knowledge is the kind a firm can't write down: the criteria that live in a partner's head, the pattern that makes someone say no in the first five minutes, the reason one founder gets a second meeting and another doesn't. Our work is turning that into systems without flattening it.

We're deliberately small and deliberately close. Engagements start with one workflow and a scoped first build, and grow only when the output has earned it. Everything we build for you, you own: knowledge base, prompts, pipelines, the lot.

And a rule we hold ourselves to: judgement stays human. Agents do the legwork; the calls that matter are made by the people whose names are on them.

I've spent years building software around investment workflows, including recent agent systems for private equity deal teams. I watched what got used: the unglamorous things, enrichment that was simply correct, briefs that arrived before the meeting, memos that started from the firm's own prior work. And I watched clever demos get quietly abandoned by Christmas.

Tacit exists because the difference between those two outcomes isn't the model. It's whether the system is built around how a particular firm decides, and whether someone stays close enough to keep it honest. That's forward-deployed work, not a licence key.

So we don't sell a platform. We sit with your investors, learn the criteria nobody wrote down, and build agents that hold to them. Then we stay.

A limit, since most vendors won't volunteer one: if your workflow depends on data nobody will give us, we'll tell you at the review, not after the invoice.
