The problem

A sales CRM was never built for a mandate.

Each mandate has its own counterparties, process, documents and client, and the firm's own business development on top. The call recorder, the signature tool and the task tool sit beside the CRM and talk to none of it. Reticle is built around the mandate and swallows the other three.

Features

01

Run ten mandates like they are one.

Each mandate is its own client space: pipeline, contacts, calls, documents, tasks and outreach, sealed off from every other mandate. Your client logs into theirs and sees their deal and nothing else.

02

Tell it what happened. It updates the CRM.

Bankers run the CRM by talking to it. Clients ask it about their own deal and their own files, and get answers from nothing else.

RETICLEAssistant

04

NDAs out and back without leaving the deal.

Your task list writes itself from the call.

06

One inbox for every mandate, with the reply already drafted.

Business development for the firm, not only the mandates. Outreach from every mandate lands in one inbox; the assistant drafts the reply and stages the CRM updates for one-click approval.

07

Agents propose. You approve in one click.

Agents create recommended actions and can run the CRM end to end. Every recommendation waits in the Actions inbox until you approve it.

Roles, access and an audit log.

Works with

One record across all three.

  • Sonar

    A market map becomes a pipeline and a campaign in Reticle in one step.

  • Trove

    A deal in Reticle opens a room in Trove. Buyer groups from the pipeline become permission groups.

The hand-off

Sourced in Sonar. Run in Reticle. Closed in Trove.

A brief becomes a list. The list becomes a pipeline. The pipeline opens the room. Nothing is re-keyed.

AI-first

API, MCP server and CLI.

An API and an MCP server for read and write workflows, plus a CLI. The assistant and the Actions inbox are the same capability, inside the product.

Example

An agent reviews the day's calls and emails, files them, and queues the follow-ups in the Actions inbox for approval.
