AI Due Diligence FAQ
Common questions about AI due diligence for PE and alternative investment firms.
What does AI due diligence evaluate?
The five areas most standard DD misses: AI capability, data infrastructure, model risk, adoption readiness, and technical debt.
How long does AI due diligence take?
Most AI DD engagements run 2-3 weeks, from scoping and data access through deep-dive analysis to the executive briefing.
What does AI due diligence cost?
Typically structured as part of a Discovery Sprint or as a standalone engagement scoped to the target's complexity.
How is AI DD different from technology DD?
Technology DD checks whether systems work. AI DD checks whether the AI delivers what was promised and whether the team can maintain it.
What risks does AI DD uncover?
Demo-only AI capabilities, data quality gaps, model bias, teams that cannot maintain systems post-close, and hidden technical debt.
Do we need AI DD if the target doesn't use AI?
Yes. The scope shifts to AI readiness: data infrastructure quality, team capability, and which AI opportunities would create value post-acquisition.
