Deal Read

We check what a deal announced against what was signed and filed, and give you the differences.

What you get

  • Every difference between the agreement and the announcement, tied to its section.
  • Every later filing that changes a term, dated.
  • A 30-minute walkthrough of what matters for your mark or model.

1,500 EUR flat. First page back within 48 hours. 2,500 EUR with a 30-day update after the next filing. dhruv@psychedelicbrief.com

Every term is read from the primary documents, the agreement as filed, the announcement and every later filing, and set beside the announced wording with its section and source cited. Where a signed agreement is not public we say so and read the filed form; our view is labelled as ours and kept apart from the copied text.

This is research on public documents. It is not investment, legal or tax advice, and it is not an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security.

We don't summarise deals. We reconcile them.

That means we put the press release next to the signed contract and mark every place they differ. Then we do it again each time a new filing lands.

The sample

Exhibit 01 is the Lilly and AtaiBeckley deal done this way. Two pages. Free. Exhibit 02 is the atai and Beckley Psytech deal, done the same way.

The Reconciliation

One deal. Two accounts. Every change since.

Every deal has two versions. The press release says what the company wants you to hear. The signed contract says what it actually agreed to. We put them side by side and mark every place they differ. Then we keep watching as new filings arrive.

Not yet reconciled

Not yet reconciled. Announced 1 Sep 2026. Agreement: not on record.

Last checked 28 Sep 2026

This is one public deal reconciled. We do the same for the deal on your desk.
