The gap in your current offering
Hidden AI liability
Targets leak proprietary IP to public LLMs and run ungoverned automation code. You discover it post-close, when remediation is on your dime.
No AI diligence
Standard tech diligence covers infrastructure and security, not AI data flows, model risk, or agentic execution exposure.
EBITDA drag
Fragile, ungoverned AI automation breaks at scale — dragging EBITDA and requiring expensive re-platforming post-acquisition.

Questions about PE & M&A Partners
When in the deal cycle do you engage?
Typically during confirmatory diligence, alongside tech and security diligence. The 30-day audit fits within a standard LOI-to-close window.
Can findings adjust valuation?
Yes. Quantified IP leakage and remediation cost are defensible inputs to price negotiation and reps & warranties. We provide the documentation.
