FOR PE & M&A

The AI Chapter
Your IC Memo
Is Missing.

Institutional-grade analysis. Expert-validated by ex-McKinsey and BCG consultants. IC-defensible in 5 business days.

WHY AI READINESS CHANGES DEAL MATH

Hidden Value

AI readiness rarely appears in a DCF. We surface the latent savings and revenue uplift that existing cash flows don't capture.

Compliance Risk

EU AI Act penalties reach €35M for prohibited systems. We screen for risk tiers before you sign.

Post-Close Execution

A readiness score and implementation roadmap give your operating team a day-one playbook — not a hope.
