Every AI tool will confidently hand you a wrong number — and in
engineering and finance, a wrong number is expensive.
Energent.ai is an AI teammate that does your data work on a secure
desktop: reading documents and engineering drawings, cleaning messy data,
writing code, building charts. Then a second, independent agent audits
that output against your original source files and flags every claim that
doesn't hold up — catching roughly 3x more hallucinations than the model
alone in our internal evals.
Engineering teams check drawing sets before issue. Finance teams tie
numbers back to source. The best teams encode their own checking
standards as reusable rules, so it checks the way their firm checks.

No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.
