Question 1

What is VEMLogic?

Accepted Answer

VEMLogic is an AI-powered business intelligence platform built for small and mid-market transactions. The platform includes four products: Business Valuations, the Value Modeler (interactive deal modeling), Brownfield Due Diligence (environmental DD), and Secure Data Rooms. Each product is purpose-built for a different stage of the deal lifecycle.

Question 2

How are the products related?

Accepted Answer

All VEMLogic products share a single account, authentication, and security infrastructure. A Professional valuation report can feed directly into the Value Modeler for interactive scenario analysis. Brownfield environmental findings integrate with the valuation engine to adjust for environmental risk. Secure Data Rooms organize transaction documents for buyer review with role-based access and activity tracking. The products work together or independently.

Question 3

Do I need an account to use VEMLogic?

Accepted Answer

You can browse all product pages and pricing without an account. An account is required when you place an order for a valuation, access the Value Modeler, or start a brownfield assessment. Account creation takes under 30 seconds and uses the same credentials across all VEMLogic products.

Question 4

Is my data secure across all products?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All VEMLogic products use AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and store documents on Box Enterprise Cloud. Authentication is handled by Clerk with session management across all subdomains. The platform runs on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with industry-standard security practices. See our Security page for details.

Question 5

How do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Email admin@vemlogic.ai for account questions or reports@vemlogic.ai for report-related inquiries. Response time is typically within one business day.

Question 6

What is a Calculation of Value?

Accepted Answer

A Calculation of Value is a professional valuation engagement that uses agreed-upon approaches and methods to estimate business value. VEMLogic reports are produced in compliance with the NAVIS Computational Valuation Standard (NAVIS CVS), a computational valuation framework designed for AI-assisted business valuations. While not a full certified appraisal, it applies the same analytical rigor and is widely accepted by SBA lenders, attorneys, and business advisors.

Question 7

Is this a certified appraisal?

Accepted Answer

No. VEMLogic provides Calculations of Value — not certified USPAP appraisals. The distinction matters: a Calculation of Value uses selected approaches rather than all applicable approaches, resulting in faster delivery and lower cost while still producing a defensible, professionally prepared opinion of value.

Question 8

Can I use this for an SBA loan?

Accepted Answer

Our Professional report is designed to support SBA pre-screening discussions with lenders. Acceptance is at the discretion of individual lenders, and a full USPAP-compliant appraisal may be required for certain transactions. Many SBA-preferred lenders accept Calculations of Value for loan underwriting.

Question 9

What information do I need to get started?

Accepted Answer

You will need basic business details (industry, location, entity type), 3 years of federal tax returns, and a recent profit & loss statement or internal financials. Our guided intake process walks you through exactly what is required. Most clients complete the intake in 15-20 minutes.

Question 10

How long does it take to receive my report?

Accepted Answer

Reports are typically generated within minutes of completing your intake. You will receive an email notification when your report is ready for download. Complex engagements involving multiple entities or unusual structures may require additional processing time.

Question 11

What valuation approaches do you use?

Accepted Answer

The Professional tier applies all three standard approaches: the Income Approach (capitalization of earnings with a built-up discount rate), the Market Approach (comparable transaction multiples from Pepperdine, Damodaran, and industry databases), and the Asset Approach (adjusted net asset value). The Essentials tier focuses on the Market and Asset approaches for a streamlined analysis.

Question 12

What is the NAVIS CVS?

Accepted Answer

NAVIS CVS (Computational Valuation Standard) — a quality standard published by NAVIS Standards, LLC for AI-assisted valuation platforms. Our reports are validated under this standard to ensure computational accuracy, methodological consistency, and transparency in AI-assisted valuation.

Question 13

Can I upgrade from Essentials to Professional?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you start with an Essentials report, you can upgrade to Professional within 6 months and receive a $399.95 credit toward the $1,599 price — you'd pay just $1,199 for the upgrade.

Question 14

How much does a valuation cost?

Accepted Answer

Essentials reports start at $399.95 and include market and asset approach valuations with a 25-page professional report. Professional reports are $1,599 and include full three-approach analysis (Income, Market, Asset) with a 35-45 page comprehensive report and priority delivery.

Question 15

What data sources do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use Kroll Cost of Capital Navigator for equity risk premiums, size premiums, and industry risk adjustments; Pepperdine Private Capital Markets surveys for private capital cost-of-capital data; Damodaran Online (NYU) for industry betas and cost of capital; RMA Annual Statement Studies for financial ratio benchmarks; IRS Statistics of Income for industry profit margins; and SEC EDGAR filings for fairness opinion comparable transaction data.

Question 16

How does the dual AI review work?

Accepted Answer

Every report is independently validated by two separate AI systems. Each system reviews the valuation conclusions, methodology application, and mathematical accuracy. Reports achieving dual-AI mathematical consensus are prioritized for rapid delivery. Complex cases and flagged anomalies are routed for expert human review.

Question 17

How is the report delivered?

Accepted Answer

Reports are delivered as professionally formatted PDF documents through your secure portal on VEMLogic.ai. You receive an email notification when your report is ready. Documents are stored in individually isolated, encrypted data rooms on Box enterprise infrastructure.

Question 18

Can I request revisions?

Accepted Answer

If you discover an error in the data you submitted, contact us and we will work with you to issue a corrected report. Our Living Valuation system also allows for iterative refinements to specific data points after initial delivery.

Question 19

Do you offer repeat purchase discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Returning clients receive 20% off any report ordered within 14 months of their previous purchase. This applies to both Essentials and Professional tiers.

Question 20

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe, our PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. VEMLogic never stores or has access to your card details.

Question 21

Is my financial data secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Documents are stored on Box enterprise cloud infrastructure with enterprise-grade security controls. We never share your data with third parties, and you can request permanent deletion at any time.

Question 22

Is my data used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

Never. Your financial data is processed via stateless API calls and is never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model — ours or any third party's. This is a contractual obligation with our AI providers, not just a policy preference.

Question 23

How long do you retain my documents?

Accepted Answer

Financial documents are retained for 3 years from report delivery, consistent with professional record-keeping standards. You may request earlier deletion at any time. Deletion is permanent, irreversible, and confirmed in writing.

Question 24

Do you use tracking cookies or sell data?

Accepted Answer

No. We use only essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, behavioral tracking, or data brokers. Your activity on VEMLogic.ai is never monetized or shared.

Question 25

What is the Value Modeler?

Accepted Answer

The Value Modeler is an interactive deal modeling tool that lets you explore scenarios against your valuation data. It includes deal structure analysis, DSCR calculations, risk factor deep dives, exit readiness scoring, cost of delay modeling, scenario comparison, and industry benchmarking. It is available as a $249 add-on with 12-month access for Professional tier buyers.

Question 26

Can I use the Value Modeler without a valuation?

Accepted Answer

The Value Modeler is designed to work with VEMLogic valuation data. During the beta period, sample company data is available for demonstration. In production, the tool loads your actual valuation results for interactive modeling.

Question 27

What scenarios can I model?

Accepted Answer

You can model deal structures (asset vs. stock purchase, seller financing terms), project future cash flows with growth assumptions, compare multiple exit strategies side by side, analyze risk factors and their impact on value, calculate cost of control and cost of delay, and benchmark your company against industry peers.

Question 28

What is Brownfield Due Diligence?

Accepted Answer

Brownfield Due Diligence is AI-powered environmental analysis for brownfield site acquisitions. It uses a four-stage gate system — Screen ($500), Assess ($2,500), Investigate ($7,500), and Close ($5,000) — to evaluate environmental risk progressively. Each stage produces a Go/No-Go recommendation before advancing.

Question 29

Does this replace a Phase I ESA?

Accepted Answer

No. VEMLogic Brownfield provides AI-assisted environmental due diligence analysis. Reports do not constitute Environmental Site Assessments under ASTM E1527-21 and are not substitutes for licensed environmental professionals. The tool is designed to inform acquisition decisions, not replace regulatory compliance requirements.

Question 30

What documents do I need to get started?

Accepted Answer

The initial Screen stage ($500) requires basic site information: address, property description, and any available environmental records. Advanced stages require additional documentation such as historical records, prior environmental reports, and site maps. The system guides you through document requirements at each stage.

Question 31

What are Secure Data Rooms?

Accepted Answer

Secure Data Rooms provide AI-organized due diligence document management for sub-$5MM M&A transactions. The system organizes seller-side documents into a structured, secure environment with role-based access, activity tracking, and native integration with VEMLogic valuations and environmental assessments.

Question 32

How much do Data Rooms cost?

Accepted Answer

Starter rooms are $99/month ($79/month billed annually), Professional rooms are $199/month ($159/month billed annually), and Per-Transaction rooms are $599 with 90-day access. All tiers include structured deal templates, role-based participant management, and activity tracking.
