AI Technical Due Diligence

Traditional TDD tells you whether the software is good. This one tells you whether the AI is real, defensible and economically sound.

Traditional due diligence

Is the software well built?

  • Architecture
  • Quality
  • Security
  • Infra and DevOps
  • Delivery capacity

+ AI overlay

Is the AI real, defensible and sound?

  • Model strategy
  • Vendor and model lock-in
  • Data (proprietary, quality and access)
  • Inference economics
  • Model reliability
  • MLOps maturity
  • AI-specific security
  • IP and regulatory
  • AI talent depth
We measure
Critical red flags per target
Time to committee readout
% of theses with failed inference economics
Sound familiar?
  • AI-washing: a thin wrapper sold as proprietary AI.
  • A thesis killed by hidden inference economics.
  • Lock-in, regulatory exposure and key-person risk.
“The pitch says it’s proprietary AI. Is it, really?”
What we do
  • Engineering baseline: architecture, quality, security, infra/DevOps and delivery capacity.
  • An overlay of 9 AI dimensions specific to the thesis.
  • Deliverable: a report with prioritized red flags and a readout with the committee.
AI overlay · 9 dimensions
14 dimensions of analysis

The engineering baseline plus 9 AI dimensions, detailed in the panel at the top of the page.

How it works
  1. Code/data room and interviews: access to the target.
  2. Analysis across 14 dimensions: baseline and AI overlay.
  3. Report and readout with the committee: 2 to 4 weeks per target.

Start with a due diligence of 2 to 4 weeks per target.
