Not another SaaS tool.
An intelligence engine.
Most AI tools reset when you log out. HudLink compounds. Here’s the difference.

- ——— How it's built
Three layers.
One intelligence stack.
HudLink is the interface. Compact Machines is the engine underneath it — the infrastructure layer private markets run their analysis on.
Primary Application
HudLink
Due diligence platform — data rooms, checklists, risk reports, CIM generation.
Coming Soon
Custom Modules
Build firm-specific analysis workflows on top of the Compact Machines API.
Enterprise
Your Own Application
Embed the intelligence engine directly into your firm’s existing systems.
🧠
Knowledge Graph
Structured financial ontologies connecting deals, entities, and risk patterns.
⚖
Risk Engine
Flags inconsistencies, concentration risk, and gaps against your firm’s thresholds.
💾
Deal Memory
Cross-deal context that compounds with every transaction your firm runs.
🔀
Model Orchestration
Routes analysis tasks to the right model layer — private inference first, always.
Secure Inference
Private model execution — zero exposure to public APIs or shared compute.
Dedicated Compute
Isolated infrastructure — your environment, not a shared tenant pool.
Versioned Models
Your configured model version is locked and persistent — it doesn’t change unless you do.
API & Plug-in Layer
Open architecture for firms that want to build custom modules or integrate existing systems.
- ——— Your frameworks. Our engine.
You don't adapt to our software.
It adapts to you.
HudLink isn’t a fixed tool with fixed logic. It’s a programmable intelligence layer — one your firm shapes around the way you actually work.
Your proprietary checklists
Upload the diligence frameworks your team has refined over years of deals. HudLink maps every document against your standards — not a generic template.
Your analysis methodology
Embed your firm’s analysis methodology across normalizations, adjustments, and valuation multiples, so outputs align with your internal frameworks rather than standardized industry models.
Your risk thresholds
Define what customer concentration, margin variability, or covenant risk means at your firm. The risk engine enforces your standards on every deal.
Your underwriting logic
Integrate credit scoring models, sector heuristics, and internal benchmarks. Your institutional knowledge becomes part of the infrastructure.
“Think of it as infrastructure for secure SLM-powered financial intelligence — not just something you use, but something you build on.”

Compact Machines.
The intelligence infrastructure private markets run on.
HudLink is the interface your team uses every day. Compact Machines is the engine underneath it. A financial intelligence infrastructure layer built for one purpose: to give firms in high-stakes transactions a compounding advantage over firms that don’t have it.
HudLink is the first application. It won’t be the last.

Your environment. Your rules.
Dedicated deployment. On-prem options. Data isolation. Custom model layers. You control what runs, where it runs, and who touches it.

04 — OWNERSHIP
You own what you build.

Everything you need to know.
What is HudLink?
HudLink is the due diligence platform built for mid-market deal teams. It transforms data rooms into structured, decision-ready intelligence — automating document organization, risk detection, and reporting so dealmakers can focus on closing. Powered by Huddly, our proprietary AI model built exclusively for M&A, running on the Compact Machines infrastructure layer.
What's the difference between the platform and infrastructure?
Think of it like a standard Excel template vs. building your own. The platform gives you best-practice diligence structure ready from day one. The infrastructure layer goes deeper — shaping HudLink around your firm’s own deal history, frameworks, and standards. Same product. You decide how far to take it.
Isn't this just ChatGPT with a wrapper?
No. ChatGPT is a public model trained on the internet that forgets everything between sessions and processes your data on shared infrastructure. HudLink’s Secure Internal Model (Huddly) runs privately, is trained specifically for M&A workflows, and optionally learns your firm’s own process. Think of it like the difference between a brilliant temp hire who walks out at 5pm vs. a specialist who’s been at your firm for ten years.
What deployment options are available?
Four options depending on your security requirements: multi-tenant cloud (ready same day), dedicated cluster (isolated compute, no shared tenants), private cloud (deployed in your own AWS/Azure/GCP account), and full on-premises (your infrastructure, air-gap options available). Speak to us about the right fit for your firm.
What happens to our deal data?
Nothing leaves your environment. HudLink processes everything inside a private encrypted instance. Your files are never sent to OpenAI, never stored on shared servers, and never used to train models for other clients. Your deal data is yours — permanently.
How is HudLink priced?
Pricing is based on usage and scale — per-report fees for smaller teams, enterprise licenses for larger firms, and custom infrastructure pricing for dedicated or on-prem deployments. Talk to us about the right fit for your deal volume and security requirements.
