AI data room scan. Our custom Claude agents, built and tuned by us for M&A work, read the full data room: contracts, financials, IT documentation and board material. They flag risks, gaps and inconsistencies and draft the management question list.
How we work
AI first, then human judgement
Our custom Claude agents scan the entire data room in days, not weeks, and they read every document the same way every time. Senior consultants then make the calls that carry the risk. That is why we are faster than a traditional firm, and why the answer is sharper.

LESSONS FROM DUE DILIGENCE
What actually decides a deal
01
Find the deal breakers first, not last. The job in week one is to know whether the equity story holds. A finding that surfaces in week four has already cost you negotiating room.
02
Read the whole data room, not a sample. Traditional teams sample because reading everything is too expensive. Our agents read every contract, report and board paper the same way, so nothing material hides in the long tail.
03
Technology decides the real cost of the deal. Architecture debt, the state of the ERP and separation complexity rarely show up in the financials, and they set what the first hundred days will cost.
04
A red flag without a number gets ignored. Risk only moves price, structure or SPA protection once it is quantified in euros, in time or as a condition of closing.
05
The report is not the deliverable, the decision is. What management needs is the short list of what could kill the deal, what it costs to fix and what to do about it before signing.
“Due diligence is not about producing a 200 page report. It is about finding the deal critical issues and the deal breakers as early as possible. Our AI diligence agents scan the entire data room and deliver a red flag report within 48 hours.”
DAVID WANG, FOUNDER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR
