Deal Sourcing: How We Built It

Deal Sourcing is a m&a product. Acquisition sourcing — market scans, decision-maker mapping and vetted introductions for clients.

Built as a tailored product engagement with the Scripso team.

We document the stack publicly so future teams know why each layer exists — not just which logos appear on the slide deck.

1. 01Next.js — App Router, SEO, and fast marketing surfaces
2. 02Node.js — APIs, webhooks, and background jobs in one language
3. 03Encore.js — orchestration and typed services for complex pipelines
4. 04n8n — orchestration and typed services for complex pipelines
5. 05PostgreSQL — relational data, auth, and predictable queries at scale

Every addition passed a simple test: does it reduce code we own, or does it introduce an ops burden we are ready to carry?

We favor thin vertical slices early: auth, one critical user journey, admin visibility, and production deploy. That proves the architecture before feature sprawl.

• Clear API boundaries between UI, business logic, and integrations
• Observability on the paths that affect revenue or trust
• Staging environments that mirror production data shape, not just code
• Internal dashboards for operators before automation layers

Delivery focused on operability: the client's team can run day-two without guessing how deploys, content, or support flows work.

• Production deployment with documented runbooks
• Admin or operator tooling where the product needs live updates
• Pilot rollout with feedback loops into the next sprint
• Handoff session covering monitoring and incident response
