Shulman Rogers × Daxe: Unified Agentic Data Room Architecture

A comprehensive system architecture integrating legal diligence workflows, startup client management, and investor relations into one secure, intelligent data room ecosystem. This platform bridges three critical stakeholders—law firms, startups, and investors—through sophisticated automation, AI-powered search, and granular access controls.

Role-Based Access Framework

The platform operates on a three-tier permission model designed for secure collaboration. SuperAdmins at Shulman Rogers maintain oversight across all client datarooms, conducting legal due diligence and managing permissions. Startup clients serve as Admins of their own datarooms, controlling document uploads and investor access. Investors function as Users with carefully scoped viewing privileges, ensuring data security while enabling thorough evaluation.
