How Acquiry Deal Intelligence works

A practitioner desk on public digital M&A. Two lanes, public documents only, labelled numbers, and a hard line between information and advice.

Deal Intelligence is not investment, legal, tax or accounting advice. Every material fact is taken from documents that are already public, or from arithmetic on those documents. Read the independence and disclaimer before you treat a number as something you can act on.

What this desk is

Acquiry Deal Intelligence is a published research desk on material digital M&A. It is not a newswire, not a press-release reprint, and not a client memo. Each report explains a single announced transaction from the public record: what changed hands, why the businesses fit, how the combination could work, and which figures are disclosed versus derived.

The author is Joash Boyton, founder of Acquiry. The voice is a practitioner reading the documents, not a recap of other people's recaps.

This is not advice. Deal Intelligence is general information compiled from documents that are already public. It is not investment, legal, tax, accounting, valuation or financial-product advice. It is not a recommendation to buy, sell, hold, accept, reject or vote on anything. Read the full independence and disclaimer before you treat a number as something you can act on.

Every material fact in a report has to live in a document a reader can open: an issuer announcement, an exchange filing, a merger agreement extract, a regulator notice, audited accounts, an investor presentation, or a named newswire that is reporting those documents. Acquiry does not use material non-public information, data-room files, client work product, or private conversations as the basis for Deal Intelligence.

Acquiry uses AI-driven monitoring to watch public announcements, filings and exchange notices as they appear, then cluster duplicate coverage of the same deal. Selection, reading of the documents, and the published analysis are editorial. Technology does not invent a price, an enterprise value, or a close date that the issuer did not publish.

The full source rules are on Public sources.

1. 01News leadWhat happened, in the tense that matches public status. Announced is not completed.
2. 02Deal summary tableParties, consideration if published, status, jurisdiction, expected close if the issuer gave one.
3. 03AnalysisCapability, fit, distribution, technology, customers, what the combination could do. Headings are edited English, not a consulting slide.
4. 04DiagramsAbstract tech-finance topologies that map the argument in that section. They are illustrations of structure, not photographs of casinos or offices, and not a second set of secret numbers.
5. 05Source ledgerNumbered outbound links to the actual documents. Body citations jump to that ledger.

Figures are labelled as disclosed, calculated from identified inputs, analysis, or undisclosed. If the issuer did not publish an enterprise value, Acquiry does not print one and call it a fact. See Numbers.

For buyers

• Reports cover announced transactions only, so figures and status language reflect the public record at the time of publication rather than a completed deal.
• Every number carries a label indicating whether it was disclosed by the issuer or derived by Acquiry, allowing buyers to assess how much weight to place on each figure.
• Deal Intelligence is not a substitute for professional advice or for reading the issuer's own announcement before acting on any information.

For sellers

• Coverage depends entirely on what is in the public record; undisclosed terms such as enterprise value will not be estimated or printed as fact.
• The desk selects transactions that meet an editorial bar rather than covering every deal, so not every transaction will receive a report.
• Sellers should read the full independence and disclaimer before treating any Deal Intelligence output as guidance relevant to their own situation.
