AI deal desk: the always-on approval layer

Deal desk is where velocity dies in mid-market. AI turns a two-day approval into a two-minute Slack thread.

What AI approves autonomously

Discounts within pre-set guardrails;;Standard payment-term flips like Net-30 to Net-45;;Order-form edits within pre-approved templates

What AI routes fast

  • Non-standard SLAs, source-code escrow, custom data residency, anything a lawyer would touch
  • Every discount above the guardrail, with AI's context and precedent attached

The cycle-time win

Approval median drops from 36 hours to under 90 minutes. That's often a full point of win rate.
