Ask DEVIS
The report you can interrogate.
A report that cannot be questioned is a report you have to take on trust. Ask DEVIS lets your team put a completed Sprint under pressure — why is this in here, what is it standing on, what is still open — and follow exactly how we arrived at what we arrived at.
Included with DEVIS platform access. No separate subscription and no per-question charge.
After Delivery
The question always arrives at eleven at night.
The night before the committee. The partner wants to know why a finding is in there at all. The analyst needs to see what it is standing on. Somebody asks which of these actually hits the valuation. And the person who wrote the report is asleep.
Traditionally, those questions require another call, another email or another manual review of the report.
Ask DEVIS makes the completed engagement record easier to examine without changing the underlying analysis.

Grounded in the Engagement
It cannot invent an answer. That is the whole point.
Ask DEVIS is sealed to the evidence gathered for your Sprint. That evidence is fingerprinted, and the fingerprint is re-checked before every single answer — if it does not match, you get nothing rather than something.
Every reference it gives you is confirmed to exist before the words reach your screen. It will not issue a new verdict, and it will not re-run the Sprint. It explains the report you already hold.
A report that can only agree with itself is not worth questioning. This one has to show its working.
What It Is, and What It Is Not
An extension of the report you were given. Not a second opinion, and not a chatbot.
It answers from your Sprint and nothing else. It has no view on companies it was not pointed at, no opinion beyond the evidence gathered, and no ability to quietly widen its own scope.
For the Engagement Team
For the partner, the analyst, and the person who has to defend it.

- Clearer internal discussion
- Better preparation for management questions
- Easier examination of connected findings
- Reduced dependence on memory or manual searching
- A consistent explanation of the delivered report
- A visible boundary between evidence and unsupported questions
