AI Audit & Due Diligence
We tell you whether a target's technology and AI can really deliver, before you invest. A clear read in 6 days, run by engineers who build production AI, not analysts.

A clear read in 6 days
Scope
We align on your thesis and the key questions, then lock the scope and data-room access.
Deep review
We work through the data room, the code, and the architecture, run the AI and security checks, and sit down with the CTO and key engineers.
Report and readout
You get a written report and a live readout: an executive summary, a scorecard, risks ranked by severity, and a value-creation view.
Standard read: 6 days. Rush read (72h) available; complex or multi-product targets are scoped separately.
The whole stack, deepest on the AI
Six areas, one report. Every claim checked against the code, the data, and the team.
AI and data
Is the AI real, or a thin wrapper around a model someone else trained? We check what the models actually do, where the data comes from and whether the rights to use it are clean, how defensible the AI is, and whether the roadmap can be built.
Architecture and scalability
Will the platform hold as the business grows, or does scale mean a rewrite? We map the architecture, the real bottlenecks, and the cost of keeping it running.
Code and engineering practices
We read the actual code, not just the diagrams: quality, test coverage, security hygiene, and how cleanly the team ships and reviews changes.
Security and compliance
How customer data is handled, the security posture, and the gaps (GDPR, SOC 2, data residency) that can stall a deal or surface after close.
Team and delivery
Who actually builds the product, whether the team can deliver the plan you are underwriting, and where the key-person risk sits.
Product and roadmap
How mature the product really is, how it holds up against competitors, and what it will actually take to hit the plan.
Due diligence for Blackfin
Due diligenceWe ran several technical due diligences for Blackfin on fintech targets, each deal inside a short window. We reviewed the data rooms, the architecture, and the code, tested each AI and data-layer thesis, and ran deep-dive sessions with the CTOs. Every deal got a written technical opinion: the moat, the risks, and their severity, in time for the decision.

Questions from funds
How long does an audit take?
The standard read is 6 days. A rush read (72h) is available; complex or multi-product targets take longer and are quoted at the scoping call.
What access do you need?
A data room, read access to the codebase, and time with the CTO and a few engineers.
What is in the report?
An executive summary for the committee, a scorecard, a risk register ranked by severity, a straight read on the AI, and a value-creation view.
Can you assess early-stage or pre-revenue AI startups?
Yes. With early-stage companies we focus on whether the team and the AI can deliver the thesis, not just on what is already shipped.
Do you only look at AI?
No. We cover the whole stack: architecture, code, security, team, and product. The AI is just where we go deepest.
Can you help after the deal?
Yes. We can scope the value-creation work and build the AI systems we recommend.
