AI Due Diligence FAQ
What AI due diligence covers, how long it takes, what it costs, and when you need it.
What does AI due diligence evaluate?
Five areas standard DD misses: AI capability, data infrastructure, model risk, whether people actually use it, and technical debt.
How long does AI due diligence take?
Most AI DD runs 2-3 weeks, from scoping and data access through deep-dive analysis to the executive briefing.
What does AI due diligence cost?
Priced per target: $15,000 at screening stage, $25,000 for confirmatory diligence. Fixed fees, no hourly billing.
How is AI DD different from technology DD?
Tech 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, data quality problems, 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 readiness: how clean is the data, how capable is the team, and which AI opportunities would create value post-acquisition.
