Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use Ferret to a prioritized risk profile and a complete document request log, with initial red flags identified. Then, you pass the output to DataSnipper to a validated financial and operational risk assessment with identified value drivers and red flags. Then, you pass the output to Harvey to a compliance risk matrix with findings on legal standing, litigation exposure, and regulatory gaps. Then, you pass the output to Kira to a contract risk register with abstracts and recommended renegotiation points or deal-breakers. Then, you pass the output to TrademarkNow to an ip and data risk profile with ownership confirmation, security gaps, and litigation exposure. Finally, Rose AI is used to a comprehensive due diligence report with a clear go/no-go recommendation and risk mitigation roadmap.
Initial Risk Scoping & Information Request
A prioritized risk profile and a complete document request log, with initial red flags identified.
Core Financial & Operational Investigation
A validated financial and operational risk assessment with identified value drivers and red flags.
Regulatory Compliance & Legal Entity Check
A compliance risk matrix with findings on legal standing, litigation exposure, and regulatory gaps.
Legal Contract & Material Agreement Analysis
A contract risk register with abstracts and recommended renegotiation points or deal-breakers.
Intellectual Property & Data Asset Audit
An IP and data risk profile with ownership confirmation, security gaps, and litigation exposure.
Risk Synthesis & Final Report Generation
A comprehensive due diligence report with a clear go/no-go recommendation and risk mitigation roadmap.
Define the scope of due diligence based on transaction type (M&A, investment, partnership) and jurisdiction. Issue a standardized information request list (IRL) to the target entity covering financials, ownership structure, key contracts, and regulatory history. Review preliminary red flags (e.g., sanctions lists, adverse media) using open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools.
Why Ferret: Ferret is specifically designed for due diligence and risk monitoring, directly matching the OSINT and risk scoping needs of this step.
Analyze the target's financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) for anomalies, revenue concentration, and debt levels. Review operational metrics (e.g., customer churn, supplier dependencies) and interview key management to validate business model assumptions. Cross-reference findings with industry benchmarks.
Why DataSnipper: DataSnipper is purpose-built for financial statement procedures, vouching, and tracing, directly supporting core financial investigation.
Verify the target's legal standing (incorporation, good standing certificates) and check for any pending or past litigation, regulatory fines, or investigations. Review compliance with applicable laws (e.g., GDPR, anti-bribery, export controls) and assess the adequacy of internal compliance programs.
Why Harvey: Harvey specializes in legal research and regulatory analysis, directly addressing the need for a legal research platform and compliance checks.
Review all material contracts (customer, supplier, partnership, employment) for change-of-control clauses, termination rights, indemnification, and exclusivity provisions. Identify any onerous terms, hidden liabilities, or missing signatures. Summarize key risks and obligations in a contract abstract.
Why Kira: Kira is a leading contract analysis AI specifically for due diligence, clause extraction, and legal review, matching the step's needs.
Verify ownership and protection of all IP (patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets) through registries and employment agreements. Assess data assets: data sources, consent mechanisms, and cybersecurity posture. Identify any IP infringement claims or data breach history.
Why TrademarkNow: TrademarkNow is specifically for trademark clearance and monitoring, directly addressing the IP database and audit needs.
Consolidate all findings from previous steps into a structured due diligence report with an executive summary, risk heat map, and prioritized recommendations. Include a deal recommendation (proceed, proceed with conditions, or abort) and a mitigation action plan. Present findings to stakeholders in a decision-ready format.
Why Rose AI: Rose AI offers data analysis, report generation, and insight discovery, directly supporting synthesis and final report creation.
