# How the deal flows

## From first evidence to final decision

A typical deal in Colabra follows this sequence:

1. **Set up the deal.** Create the project, enter the deal metadata, and confirm the guardrails that define what counts as signal.
2. **Ingest the evidence.** Upload files, sync a cloud folder, forward an email thread, or import meeting transcripts. Processing starts immediately.
3. **Read what matters.** Colabra extracts structured facts, contract clauses, entity relationships, and issue signals from the uploaded evidence.
4. **Investigate the output.** The team works through the risk register, org structure, and gap analysis rather than starting from blank trackers.
5. **Collaborate on follow-up.** Findings turn into tasks, requests, and threaded comments tied to the evidence that triggered them.
6. **Publish the result.** Reports, exports, and saved views turn the live diligence system into a reviewable output.

Colabra is not a place where documents wait to be read later. The evidence starts producing working output as soon as it arrives.

## What the AI does vs. what you do

Colabra is not autonomous diligence. The AI handles extraction, matching, and synthesis. Your team handles judgement, materiality, and decisions.
