M&A Due Diligence Agent

Scout

Scout is an agentic AI that goes into the data room first. It reads every document, maps the deal's people and paper into a knowledge graph, and drafts a cited, client-specific diligence report - so the team starts from a map, not a blank page.

The problem

Week one disappears into the data room

Every deal starts the same way: thousands of documents, no index worth trusting, and a team reading around the clock to find the clauses that matter. Party structures, change of control, off-market terms - all buried, all urgent.

The cost is not just the hours. Scoping happens blind, pricing is a guess, and the client waits a week to hear what the firm's instinct suspected on day one.

The solution

A map of the deal on day one

Scout ingests the data room and builds a living graph of parties, contracts and obligations. It runs a first-cut diligence tuned to the client's profile and returns an issue-flagged report - red, amber, green by topic - with every finding cited back to its clause.

Lawyers stay in charge: they drill into context, adjust assumptions and kill false positives. The judgement is theirs; Scout just puts the whole deal in front of them before the first status call.

Why it pays

The firm's diligence method, running on every deal at once.

Due diligence is the classic candidate for productising: high stakes, repeatable structure, and billed in a way that caps how much a team can take on. Scout turns the firm's diligence method into an asset - the checklists, the red flags, the house view of what matters - and applies it to every deal at once.

Clients get certainty faster and a report they can act on. The firm gets margin on work that used to burn juniors, and a reason for deal flow to come to it.
