Kautilya

Deal Desk

Two apps for ChatGPT and Claude. One screens a small business before you buy it. The other works out whether selling is the right move before you sell it.

Add it to ChatGPT

On chatgpt.com in a browser: Settings → Security and login → turn on Developer mode. Then Settings → Apps → + to create an app. No sign-in, no account, no API key. Add them as two separate apps:

Buying https://kautilya-deal-screener.vercel.app/mcp/buyer
Selling https://kautilya-thinking-of-selling.vercel.app/mcp/seller

In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, same two URLs.

Opening those URLs in a browser returns 405 Use POST for MCP. That is correct — they speak the Model Context Protocol, not HTTP pages. Paste them into the connector dialog, not the address bar.

If you are buying

screen_dealPaste a listing, CIM, broker packet or P&L. Scores it out of 100 with an explicit confidence level, grades every add-back line by line, rebuilds the earnings a buyer actually underwrites, shows what the asking price implies as a multiple at each level, tests whether the debt services — and names exactly what information is missing and what to ask for it.
seller_questionsA sequenced plan for the call, in three stages: screen to disqualify, account to understand, test to find what breaks it. The sharp questions are held to the end on purpose.
dd_checklistA tiered diligence request list that adapts to the business. Each item says why it matters and what a bad answer sounds like.

If you are selling

exit_fitBefore any valuation. Ranks eight real routes — including hiring your way out of the job, and not selling yet — against what you say you want, and names where those wants pull against each other. It will not tell you what to do.
value_rangeA range, derived rather than asserted, with every assumption shown and changeable.
sale_readinessWhere a buyer will push back, what it costs you, and what is still worth fixing first.
buyer_fitWhich kinds of buyer fit the business — strategic, private equity, searcher, family office, management, competitor — what each pays for and what each will ask of you. Kinds of buyer, never named firms.
owner_dependencyWhat only you hold — relationships, know-how, licences, signing authority — and the order to hand it over. You set the dates.
anonymous_profileThe one-page profile a buyer reads, built by fixed rules: figures banded, names and your city removed and listed, and what each line will make a buyer ask. You keep it.
adviser_checkBefore you sign with a broker or adviser: how the fees work, the red flags in the terms, and what to ask. Never recommends an adviser.
buyer_call_prepWhat a buyer will ask at each stage, what each question is testing, and how to raise a weak spot honestly — before they find it.

How it handles numbers

It never states a number it cannot derive from what you gave it or source to something real.
