AI Diligence // PE buy-side # Price the AI. Or overpay for it. The target has an AI story. Your model has a number. Nobody in the process has checked whether they match. We score the AI a target actually runs — across eight weighted domains — and convert every finding into price, structure, or a walk , inside your confirmatory window.

Commercial, financial, operational, technology, legal — all scoped, all owned. The AI a target runs is scoped by no one. We read it across three surfaces, all resting on a financial foundation that turns every finding into a number. Operational — why it matters Automation with no fallback is opex you can't hold and a 100-day fire you inherit on day one. Product — why it matters AI revenue the usage data won't support is a multiple you're paying on air . Market — why it matters The moat has to survive your hold period — not just their pitch. Financial — why it matters This is the surface that converts a finding into price, structure, or a walk . 02 // The price bridge ## Every finding is a step down in what you should pay. We quantify each finding against the six drivers of enterprise value, then walk your entry price down to one you can defend in the investment committee. An impairment finding is the overpayment you don't make.
