Introducing Pulse Meridian
Deal teams are drowning in documents - management presentations, financial statements, market research, and comparable analyses. Each deal generates hundreds of PDFs that need to be exported into Excel for modeling, and fast.
The traditional approach: analysts/associates spend nights copying numerical data by hand, hoping they don't miss critical numbers buried in dense presentations. Senior team members often double-check extractions, knowing that one wrong figure derails an entire valuation model.
The Time Cost of Manual Extraction
Pulse has been working with deal teams processing 500+ management presentations for a single transaction. At 2-3 hours per document for proper extraction and formatting, that's weeks of analyst time before any real analysis begins.
Meanwhile, the deal clock is ticking. While your team manually rebuilds spreadsheets, competitors with faster data processing are already running scenarios and preparing bids.
What Meridian Actually Does
Pulse is publicly launching Meridian for this reason. Meridian converts any financial document exported into Excel instantly. Drag in a management presentation, get back a properly formatted spreadsheet with all charts, tables, and graphs converted to structured tabular data.
The key difference: Meridian understands financial documents on an architectural level. It knows that a revenue bridge chart should become a structured table. It recognizes that margin data scattered across slides needs to align in consistent columns. Meridian runs on Pulse's updated spreadsheet parsing model with custom tokenization optimized for XLSX dimensions and formula recognition. The system uses multi-scale visual attention to process both cell-level content and document-wide structure while integrating seamlessly with existing OCR pipelines through our document understanding API, delivering advanced handling of irregular tabular data, inconsistent spacing, and non-standard Excel formatting conventions.
Real Deal Team Results
Private equity teams using Meridian are reducing document processing time from 2-3 hours per presentation to under 10 minutes. Due diligence data packets that previously required days of analyst time now produce clean, formatted Excel files in minutes.
Meridian captures financial details that manual extraction typically misses: footnoted adjustments, segmented breakdowns, and multi-year trends buried in appendices. Most importantly, Meridian learns your firm's formatting standards. Every extraction matches your team's existing Excel templates, column naming, and styling conventions. No reformatting required.
Enterprise-Grade Security and Accuracy
Meridian processes documents with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance. Your data never leaves secure processing environments, and all extractions maintain complete audit trails. Full compliance details available at our Trust Center.
The accuracy rates exceed manual extraction while eliminating human error entirely. No more missed footnotes, transcription mistakes, or formatting inconsistencies that compromise model reliability.
Getting Started
In competitive deal processes, faster information analysis creates meaningful advantages. Meridian reduces the document extraction bottleneck that typically delays deal execution.
Teams using Meridian can begin model building, scenario analysis, and investment theme identification while competitors are still manually extracting data. This time differential impacts every subsequent stage of deal execution.
Meridian is available today for finance teams ready to significantly reduce manual document processing. The same technology that powers leading financial institutions, designed specifically for how investment professionals work.
