Transaction Fluency: Why your BD shouldn't treat your M&A deal like a retail stock trade

Just read an interesting analyst report from Financial Services Review that touched on Disciplined Responsiveness in the M&A space. It highlighted a massive gap in the market: broker-dealers that understand Transaction Fluency. Most platforms are bogged down by compliance models designed for wealth management. They don't have the rapid review mechanisms needed for a tight M&A closing. If your BD doesn't understand the difference between a deal lifecycle and a retail trade, you're losing money on every delay. Anyone here using a platform that actually understands M&A speed? I'm looking for a specialized model that prioritizes the practitioner lifecycle over generalist oversight.
