Equity Labs by CapLock

Equity work,
connected.

We’re building Equity Labs, a new equity compensation recordkeeper with modern engineering, AI tooling and automation at its core.

Built around the work of equity compensation teams.

The equity record

Every position
has a history.

01
Record the award terms.

Grant type, quantity, dates and vesting.

02
Track what happens next.

Vesting, exercises, purchases and cancellations.

03
See how the balance changed.

Outstanding awards and holdings, with the records behind them.

Work from the underlying record.Review the proposal before approving it.

Built for
equity teams.

Keep the full record

Award terms, events and holdings belong in the same recordkeeping workflow.

Check the calculation

See the effective date, source records and assumptions behind a result.

Control the change

Review the proposed action and its exceptions before you approve it.

Inside Equity Labs

Try three equity
workflows.

Check what vests next, review a large vesting event or work through an employee departure. These examples show how records and assumptions support a decision, with a separate step for your approval.

The engineering behind the recordkeeper

How Equity Labs works.

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, gives AI agents a defined set of application tools. Calculations and approval rules stay in the application.

From company records to an approved action

Select a component to inspect its role.

Tool request
Structured result
Scoped inputs
Result + basis
Confirmed action
01 / COMPANY DATA

Start with the company and award.

People, grants, company settings and recorded activity give each question a starting point.

WHY IT MATTERS

Check the result against the company, award and effective date used in the calculation.

TECHNICAL ROLE

Calculation requests include the company and source data. You can review imported data before saving it.

The design keeps proposed actions separate from confirmed changes.

The recordkeeping foundation

From grant to ownership.

01 / GRANTS

Record the award.

Start with the award terms, quantities and dates, alongside the source record.

02 / VESTING

Work through the schedule.

Apply the vesting schedule to the terms of the award.

03 / TRANSACTIONS

Account for transactions.

Carry exercises, purchases and cancellations into the record with their dates.

04 / OWNERSHIP

Explain the balance.

Trace holdings back to the events that changed them.

Custom equity software

Build with CapLock.

We also build custom software for equity teams. Bring us the workflow you need to fix and the systems it needs to work with.
