The data room goes in.
The answers come out.
Point it at the documents.
A shared drive, a data room, a cloud folder or an upload. Within minutes you know what is in there: which documents, which years, which version is current, what is a copy, and what is missing.
Every figure, with its page.
Revenue, EBITDA, headcount, contract terms: taken from the document and kept with the page, and for spreadsheets the cell. Margins and growth rates are computed, not guessed. Where two documents disagree, you see both.

Checked against your criteria.
Type the criteria you would check by hand. Each one gets a verdict and the page it rests on. Ask a question across all documents and get a table with sources. What is missing goes to the other side as one list.
- Jahresabschluss 2024 (not in the data room)
- EBITDA 2023: statements say 1.552 T, plan says 1.890 T. Which is current?

Teaser, IM, screening memo or IC deck, generated from the same figures into your own template. Fonts, tables and charts stay editable. You review, correct and send.

What a run replaces.
| Today | With Khumo | |
|---|---|---|
| The folder | Sorted by hand over a few days. Three versions of the plan. Scans read one by one. | Classified within minutes. Old versions and copies marked. Missing documents listed. |
| The figures | Typed from PDFs into Excel. Which plan was current is a matter of memory. | Extracted with document, page and cell. Conflicts shown, not resolved silently. |
| The checks | Criteria compared in someone's head. Questions collected the day before the call. | Every criterion answered with a verdict and its page. The request list comes out of the same run. |
| The document | Written from scratch, formatted by hand, revised five times. | Generated into your template. Corrections flow into the next version. |
The best models,
under rules they cannot break.
We build on frontier language models and we know exactly what they are good at: reading and writing. Everything that has to be right is done outside the model. The arithmetic is code. Every claim needs a page. You approve. That is why the numbers hold, and why you can put them in front of a client or a committee.
It copies figures from pages. Growth rates, margins and the standard KPIs are computed by ordinary code from those figures.
Every finding has to cite a page the model actually opened. Findings that do not are rejected before anyone sees them.
When a document does not support a figure, the field stays empty and is listed as missing. Nothing is filled to look complete.
Every figure, sentence and slide can be edited. Nothing goes to a client or a committee until you approve it, and every correction is recorded with who made it and when.
Stored in Frankfurt, or deleted after each check.
Two ways to keep a project, a third on request. In none of them do the models keep your documents or learn from them, and nobody at Khumo sees a project unless your organisation adds them.
Documents and results stay in Frankfurt under your organisation, so a company can be worked on over months, until you delete the project.
Documents are deleted as soon as a check has read them, also from backups. The results stay, with the passages they cite.
Operation in your own cloud account, scoped with you.
