Zhinova captures incoming opportunities, tracks missing diligence and holds the next-action ledger across active acquisitions. The system organizes the evidence. You decide the assumptions, terms and go or no-go.
The opportunity is visible. The missing information is not.
Deals arrive through different people and channels. Documents follow later. Questions split into separate threads. Zhinova keeps every open item tied to the acquisition and its next decision.
NEW
A deal arrives without a clean intake
The source, property basics and missing information should be captured before review begins.
OPEN
Diligence questions live in separate threads
Every request needs an owner, due date and clear relationship to the decision.
GO?
The team knows pieces, not the full next move
The decision-maker needs one current brief—not a new search through email.
Three connected workflows
Intake, diligence and the next decision.
The system keeps evidence and follow-up organized without pretending an acquisition decision is a formula.
01
Deal intake
Capture the source, property details, timing and first-pass questions in a consistent record for review.
Outcome: every opportunity starts legibly02
Diligence open items
Assign document requests, inspection follow-ups, lender questions and unresolved assumptions to a named owner.
Outcome: missing evidence stays visible03
Acquisition next-action ledger
See what changed, what is blocked and which decision is due across every active acquisition.
Outcome: the pipeline has a current next move
Your morning brief
What is missing, who owns it and what decision comes next.
Each deal carries its own trail of documents, open questions and deadlines. Zhina sums it up in your chat each morning, and the judgment stays with you.

Reply to Zhina…
Sample names and details. Your brief is set up around your work, your language and your approval rules.
Judgment stays human
The system organizes the evidence. You make the investment decision.
Zhinova can collect, remind, summarize and route. It does not decide your assumptions, offer terms, capital allocation or appetite for risk.

How installation works
Start with the decision path—not a generic deal template.
STEP 01
Map one acquisition
We trace intake, evidence requests, review points and the people involved in the decision.
STEP 02
Define the ledger
We set the required fields, owners, follow-up rules and human approval boundaries.
STEP 03
Run and refine
We test against real deal flow and expand only when the desk proves useful.
About Zhinova
Built by people who have carried the deal.

Offer & cost
Clear offer. Locked provisional pricing.
For hands-on investor-operators who need deal intake plus an open-item tracker across diligence, offers, and follow-through.
What you get
Deal intake — source, basics, and first questions in one clean record.
Open-item tracker — diligence, offers, and follow-through with a named owner.
Next-decision brief — what changed, what is blocked, and what needs your call.
Included in The Zhinova Team ($499), with 3 months of updates included, then $129 a month for ongoing updates. The Zhinova Team + Setup is $1,497 and adds a live setup call. You’ll also need the new X Premium plan (about $30/mo) from x.ai/pricing, paid by you on your own account. It’s separate from Zhinova and isn’t billed by us. You keep judgment, money, negotiation, and anything that leaves the building. Not included: unsupervised emails/texts, ad spend, replacing your CRM/PM software, or a bot negotiating for you.
Does Zhinova underwrite or recommend deals?
No. It can organize inputs, flag missing information and prepare a decision brief. Your team owns the assumptions, analysis and final investment call.
Can it handle deals from different sources?
Yes. The intake can normalize opportunities that arrive through email, forms or other agreed channels while preserving source context.
What happens when the information conflicts?
The conflict is surfaced rather than silently resolved. The system can show the sources and assign the question, but a person determines which information governs.
Can we begin with diligence follow-up only?
Yes. A focused open-item ledger is often the right first installation. Deal intake and later acquisition stages can be added after it works.

Bring us the deal process that gets reconstructed before every meeting.
We will map the evidence, owners and decision points, then show you the smallest useful system to hold them together.
