The dealmaker

Structure the deal before it structures you.

The flagship. A deal hides its risks in the seams between disciplines — the tax angle the lawyer misses, the antitrust read the banker skips. Crift surfaces every exposure across the seams and grounds each one before it stands.

Break the deal into its economic, regulatory, and strategic seams — each grounded, each ratified, a structure you can take to the board. Every exposure across tax, antitrust, employment, and securities, named upfront.

Deal → exposures → defensible structure.

What it surfaces

  • The term that quietly kills the deal — caught before signing.

  • Exposure across HSR, tax, and employment, reconciled on one page.

  • The synergy case, and the integration risk that offsets it.

A structure you can defend to a board or a regulator, because every conclusion carries a trace back to the evidence it rests on.
