The Dover Canvas

Draw corporate structures that are functionally alive.

See ownership. Draft documents. Stay compliant.

Infinite canvas

Graph

Live ownership logic

Drafting

Structure-aware workflows

Graph-backed logic

Ownership and control relationships calculate instead of sitting as decorative lines in a slide.

Drafting from structure

Drafting and review start from the relevant nodes and edges, not from a folder dump.

Governance context

Entity structure, document state, and compliance gaps stay in the same working surface.

Private beta posture

Canvas is still a high-context Dover Intel product conversation, not a broad self-serve launch.

A visual operating system where the diagram becomes the database.

Dover Canvas combines a navigable visual surface with graph-backed structure logic, ownership calculations, drafting context, and operational controls.

Operationalizing governance instead of screenshotting it.

High-context structure work that cannot survive dead diagrams.

01
Corporate secretaries

Maintain large multinational group structures without losing the visual logic of the entity stack.

02
Compliance officers

Map beneficial ownership, document gaps, and governance dependencies from one operational surface.

03
M&A teams

Visualize target-company structures and draft transaction documentation from the same context.

04
Fund administrators

Track investor entities and layered fund relationships without flattening the structure into tables.

Four engines inside one visual operating surface.

Module A

The Infinite Canvas

Pan and zoom across large entity structures while keeping subsidiaries, directors, counterparties, and documents legible.

  • Smart layout for dense legal structures
  • Visual layers for governance, risk, and ownership views
  • Context-preserving navigation for large groups
Module B

The Smart Graph

Every edge is data. Ownership and control relationships calculate instead of sitting as decorative lines.

  • Recursive UBO logic across deep structures
  • Relationship types beyond shareholding
  • Constraint-aware ownership modeling
Module C

The Drafting Engine

Generate documents from the relevant nodes and edges instead of dumping an entire folder into a disconnected drafting process.

  • Context-scoped drafting
  • Source-linked clause generation
  • Structure-aware templates and review flows
Module D

Document Collaboration

Keep the structure and the text in the same surface so teams can see when one has moved faster than the other.

  • Split-view structure and text editing
  • Export and sharing flows
  • Stale-data warnings on graph changes

From imported documents to governed structure.

01
Import

Extract entities, people, and ownership hints from packs, filings, and supporting documents.

02
Structure

Refine the graph, validate relationships, and calculate what the structure actually means.

03
Audit

Run checks for missing KYC, stale documents, and structural risk from one surface.

04
Draft

Generate and revise resolutions, agreements, and submissions from the same contextual model.

Governance software does not get to be casual.

Encrypted by default

Sensitive structure and document data stay protected at rest and in transit.

Tenant isolation

Cross-client leakage is prevented in the architecture, not delegated to policy.

Immutable auditability

Important actions can be logged and reconstructed for internal review or regulatory needs.

Regional deployment options

Data-location constraints can be handled without flattening the product into a single-region assumption.

Entity-heavy organizations that need more than a static chart.

05
Family offices

Understand private structures across trusts, holdings, and foundations without losing operational privacy.

06
Counsel and governance teams

Keep structure, ownership, and drafting aligned as live work instead of static diagrams.

Early access

Canvas stays high-context for now.

Canvas is still positioned as a Dover product line: governance-heavy, structure-aware, and best introduced through a real operating conversation instead of a generic demo funnel.

Best conversation starter

Bring the structure problem first: multi-entity governance, UBO logic, document drift, or drafting from live structure.
