Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about AI Due Diligence

AI due diligence is comprehensive analysis of a company's AI capabilities, including data assets and machine learning systems to evaluate AI maturity, monetization potential, and associated risks. It's critical because AI increasingly drives competitive advantage, and poor AI implementation or data quality can significantly impact post-acquisition performance and future growth potential.

Our approach evaluates AI model performance, algorithm effectiveness, AI infrastructure scalability, and AI-driven monetization potential. We assess AI governance, ethics, bias risks, and competitive AI applications, providing insights that translate directly into investment decisions and post-acquisition AI value creation strategies.

Key AI risks include algorithmic bias affecting decision-making, AI model performance degradation, inadequate AI governance leading to compliance issues, over-reliance on proprietary AI systems, AI talent retention challenges, and ethical AI concerns that could impact brand reputation and regulatory compliance.

For buyers, AI due diligence reveals AI-driven competitive advantages, implementation maturity, and growth potential while identifying risks in AI governance and model performance. For sellers, it demonstrates AI leadership, quantifies AI-driven value creation, and positions AI capabilities as key differentiators that command premium valuations from AI-focused acquirers.

Our AI Due Diligence typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on AI system complexity, model sophistication, data infrastructure scope, and required analysis depth. We work within your transaction timeline and can expedite critical AI assessments while maintaining thoroughness and accuracy.

You will receive comprehensive reports covering AI architecture assessment, model performance evaluation, data quality analysis, and AI monetization opportunities. For buyers, this includes risk assessment with mitigation strategies and post-acquisition AI implementation roadmaps. For sellers, deliverables include AI competitive advantage documentation, value driver quantification, and compelling AI equity story materials that support premium valuation discussions.
