// M&A advisory · mandate memo

The mandate is a thesis.Not a mailing list.

Castia keeps the thesis, evidence, exclusions, review state, and draft outreach together—so the target universe can expand without becoming generic.

The fragmented stack

Every system holds a different slice of the mandate.
