Termina

Termina sells quantitative due diligence on demand to venture capital, private equity, corporate development and M&A teams, and to founders. Its scans read a target's financial and transaction data rather than its documents.

Scans such as Quality of Growth return findings against benchmarks built from thousands of earlier deals. Teams use it to compare targets, check portfolio companies before follow on decisions and plan value creation, with custom work run by its operators. Developers get a public API with Python and JavaScript SDKs and an MCP server.

Termina states more than 1,000 scans a year and SOC 2 Type II, with a trust center on Drata. Termina Systems, Inc. is based in Menlo Park.

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 6 graded A or B

AI Capability
AI Centrality
AA on AI CentralityThe artificial intelligence is the product. Remove the models and there is nothing left to sell.
Vendor Published

Reading a target's financial and transactional data at a scale no deal team could manage by hand, and turning it into findings on growth quality, is the product. Without the models only the raw data the client already had would remain.

Autonomy and Oversight Model
BB on Autonomy and Oversight ModelA written commitment that the models work alongside human judgment, with real review surfaces, short of the full control structure: commonly the threshold at which the system stops or what happens after it is wrong.
Vendor Published

Operators work alongside the models in producing each scan, and every page says the output does not substitute for a subscriber's own analysis or serve as the primary basis for an investment decision. A confidence indication on a benchmark comparison, or a flag for thin data, has no published form.

Model Risk Management and Transparency
CC on Model Risk Management and TransparencyTransparency is claimed in general terms with no mechanism a model validator could interrogate.
Vendor Published

Definitions come from a metrics glossary and platform documentation, which explain each computed measure without validating it. Error rates, cohort construction and hit rates across scans are not published.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
BB on Operational and Outcome EvidenceVendor aggregate claims with real figures, or audited scale disclosures from a publicly listed company.
Vendor Published

More than 1,000 scans a year, a part in over 10 percent of Series A and later deals and over 20 percent of Series B and later deals, and 20 billion data points processed are the aggregates. Case studies describe findings without naming the investor or company.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship
CC on AI Safety and Data StewardshipGeneral assurances that do not answer the question this axis asks, which is whether one customer’s data trains models serving its competitors. Unbounded cross client learning stated with no boundary grades here too.
Vendor Published

Cross client learning is sold as a feature: models recall insights from thousands of previously observed deals, so one investor's target feeds the benchmarks another's is measured against. What is aggregated, at what threshold, and whether a subscriber can opt out are not described.

Regulatory and Compliance
GLBA and Data Privacy Posture
CC on GLBA and Data Privacy PostureA standard privacy policy that covers the website rather than the service, or silence on a product that touches limited consumer data.
Vendor Published

A target's full transaction history handed over during a competitive process is commercially acute even with little personal data in it. Retention, deletion and the fate of a losing bidder's target data are not published, nor is a subprocessor list.

Security Certifications and Trust Center
BB on Security Certifications and Trust CenterA recognized certification named in the vendor’s own material without the artifact, or with a scope or renewal question the buyer has to raise.
Vendor Published

SOC 2 Type II compliance is stated, with a trust center hosted on Drata and a responsible disclosure route. Report period, and whether the report downloads or must be requested, are not shown.

Regulatory Status and Licensure
CC on Regulatory Status and LicensureThe regulatory position is unstated. Most vendors in this index are technology suppliers and being unlicensed is the correct posture, so this grade records silence about the posture, not a missing license.
Vendor Published

Securities disclaimers in the footer state that nothing is an offer and that past performance is not indicative of results. The fiduciary and diligence duties that govern how investors use these scans are not addressed, and no supervisor or rule is cited.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure
CC on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureResponsible artificial intelligence committed to in policy language with no evaluation behind it, on a product whose bias surface is modest.
Vendor Published

The reference distribution reflects the sectors, stages and models subscribers transact in, so a target outside it is measured against norms that may not fit. Cohort size behind a benchmark, and how a thin comparison set is signaled, are unpublished.

AI Liability and Recourse
CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms that enable challenge, such as audit trails and source traceability, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the person affected.
Vendor Published

Risk is placed on the subscriber, who keeps the underlying data and can reconstruct any finding. Correction of an erroneous scan, or notice if a benchmark proves wrong, has no published process.

Integration and Deployment
Model Supply Chain Disclosure
CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe architecture is described and no provider is named.
Vendor Published

Model provider, hosting and subprocessors are all unnamed, and the data side is described only in kind: subscriber records plus the pool of observed deals.

Core Systems and Integration Depth
BB on Core Systems and Integration DepthNamed systems or a documented public API, with the depth or the production evidence left open.
Vendor Published

An API with Python and JavaScript SDKs covers benchmarking, financials and deal management, with Excel export and an MCP server for AI clients. No accounting, billing or data room system is named as a source, so data still arrives by upload.

Deployment Model and Data Residency
CC on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyCloud only with nothing stated, which is the category norm.
Vendor Published

Where target data rests, and for how long, is not stated: no hosting provider, region or private option is named.

Commercial
Commercial Transparency
CC on Commercial TransparencyNo price is published and engagement runs through a demo form, which is the norm in this index.
Vendor Published

Turn key scans sit in a catalog that implies standard prices, yet none is stated. Per scan, per portfolio company or subscription billing all remain unclear.

Institution and Segment Coverage
BB on Institution and Segment CoverageNamed segments with dedicated material behind part of the coverage.
Vendor Published

Venture capital firms, corporate development teams and founders each get pages, with use cases from due diligence to portfolio reviews and benchmark development. Analysis is confined to growth quality in operating businesses, leaving credit, real assets and public markets untouched.

Head to Head

Compared With

Most editorial comparisons pair two vendors the index assesses as direct competitors for the same buyer. Some pair vendors that are adjacent rather than rival, where the useful question is where one ends and the other begins. Each carries a verdict, the buyer conditions that favor each vendor, and a graded side by side.
