London-based Resolutiion has raised $10.4 million to build an AI operating system for commercial conflict management.
Cherry Ventures and Octopus Ventures led the funding, with participation from LocalGlobe and Auxxo. The new capital will help build its AI infrastructure, designed to detect commercial delivery risks and contract disputes before they escalate into formal legal conflicts.

Resolutiion Uses AI to Detect Early Signs of Potential Disputes
Founded in 2022 by former RAF commercial lead Fayola-Maria Jack, Resolutiion provides AI infrastructure designed to identify conflict and delivery risks. The company’s proprietary OctaviaCore engine combines contractual obligations with live delivery signals to detect early warning signs of conflict in emails, invoices, and project data.
Resolutiion’s technology helps procurement and operations teams address issues before they escalate into formal legal disputes, which can be costly and damaging to commercial relationships.
The company’s AI system, Octavia, uses its own OctaviaCore technology to detect early signs of potential disputes. For example, if a supplier starts missing deadlines, Resolutiion can spot the pattern in messages and delivery data weeks before a formal claim is made. It then helps coordinate next steps across all relevant parties.
The UK-based company told TechFundingNews that around one in five commercial relationships hit a dispute, with losses ranging from £50 million ($67M) to £90 million ($121M) per £1 billion ($1.3B) of contracted revenue. Resolutiion currently has 18 employees and combines data from active commercial relationships, such as emails, project trackers, invoices, and supplier messages.
How OctaviaCore Works
OctaviaCore ingests contracts, SLAs, purchase orders, governance frameworks, meeting notes, and live performance data to build a continuously updating model of supplier relationships. It does not draft clauses for lawyers. It sits entirely upstream of legal, in procurement and operations, showing the people who own obligations in real time where they are exposed, which commitments are at risk, who needs to act, and how to resolve it before escalation.

Resolutiion’s Founder and Next Steps
Jack was Head of Legal for Europe at a $25bn multinational at 26. She ran commercial transformation for the Royal Air Force across a £6 billion ($8 billion) portfolio, leading the Complex Transactions Team.
She also supported both the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs during the UK’s exit from the EU. She established the government’s first Commercial Dispute Resolution Practice. The entrepreneur also built the UK Cabinet Office’s first Commercial Dispute Resolution Practice from scratch.
She holds an MBA from UCL and is currently a PhD candidate focusing on dispute resolution and behavioral science. Jack has since taken on employees from firms such as Darktrace, Klarna, Everlaw, Luminance, Uber, Accenture, and KPMG.
Resolutiion Targets Defense, Energy and Manufacturing
Resolutiion will use the new capital to build AI infrastructure that detects commercial delivery risks and contract disputes before they escalate into formal legal conflicts. Specifically, the funding will support development of its OctaviaCore engine, which combines contract data with live delivery information to surface early risk signals for procurement, operations and program teams.
The investment positions the London-based startup to expand its enterprise AI operating system into defense, energy and manufacturing, targeting the post-signature phase of contract management where failures can result in major financial losses.
The contract management software market is expected to expand from $3.65 billion in 2026 to $9.62 billion by 2034. Resolutiion focuses on post-signature commercial conflict and delivery risk, targeting defense, energy, and manufacturing, where a missed commercial commitment is far more costly than a documentation error.

It remains uncertain whether a deep tech operating layer for corporate disputes will emerge as a distinct category or remain a well-funded niche. Ultimately, the question will come down less to the technology and more to whether companies trust an AI system to handle real conflicts between clients.
