Short answer

How do I calculate fund waterfall distributions with my AI?

Give your exit proceeds and tier parameters to your AI client. It runs the math through a four-tier model to split proceeds between LPs and GPs. You get a clear breakdown of every payout stage.

The distribution outcomes.

Where the proceeds land.

The AI processes the exit data and delivers these specific results.

LP PAYOUT

Return of capital

The AI calculates the initial capital returned to LPs. This covers the first tier of the waterfall.

LP PROFIT

Preferred return

The model identifies the hurdle rate and calculates the preferred return for LPs before any carry kicks in.

GP CARRY

Carried interest

The AI determines the GP's share once the preferred return is satisfied. It applies the specific carry percentage for the tier.

FINAL SPLIT

Human review needed

The AI produces a final summary of the split. You must verify these numbers against your legal LPA before sending payments.

The workflow

What your AI does when the exit data arrives.

The AI takes raw exit numbers and runs them through the mathematical model.

  1. Ingest exit data

    Your AI reads the total proceeds and capital account balances from your provided files.

  2. Apply tier logic

    The agent applies the four-tier logic, moving from capital return to preferred return and then to carry.

  3. Calculate GP share

    The AI isolates the carried interest amount based on the specific tier thresholds.

  4. Generate summary

    The agent produces a structured breakdown of the total distribution for both LPs and GPs.

FAQ

How the distribution task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my legal documents?

    No. The AI only performs calculations based on the data you provide.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle clawbacks?

    No. The current tool is designed for exit distributions, not retrospective clawback calculations.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client.

  • 04

    Does the AI store my fund's private data?

    No. Vinkius manages the connection, but the data is used only to perform the requested math.

  • 05

    Can the AI sign off on these distributions?

    No. The AI provides the math, but a human must review and authorize all final payouts.
