Investment due diligence research

Collect source-linked company, market, and risk evidence into an analyst-reviewed memo.

What this workflow does

Collect source-linked company, market, and risk evidence into an analyst-reviewed memo. It separates observed facts from inference, surfaces conflicting evidence, and delivers a review-ready finding set instead of an opaque answer.

What you gain

Analyst-reviewed diligence memo

What the AI agent changes

How this worked before

Traditional automation could collect records, but a person still had to compare sources, resolve conflicts, and write the conclusion.

What the AI agent changes

The agent can plan a search, inspect multiple sources, distinguish facts from inference, and return a cited report.

Agent trigger

An approved company or transaction enters due diligence.

Inputs

  • Process context: company filings, approved research, data room, and diligence questions
  • Approved policies, ownership, and exception rules

Agent flow

  1. 1

    Collect source material from the approved systems and record its timestamp.

  2. 2

    Cross-check conflicting signals and separate facts from inference.

  3. 3

    Prepare a cited finding set with conflicts and unknowns with citations, unknowns, and confidence.

  4. 4

    Deliver the approved report and preserve its evidence set.

Human decisions

After step 3

The accountable process owner approves a cited finding set with conflicts and unknowns.

Outcome

  • Analyst-reviewed diligence memo
  • Evidence, exceptions, and audit trail

Guardrails

  • Label inference separately from observed facts.
  • Do not close the investigation while required sources are unavailable.

Risks and mitigations

Missing or stale evidence can produce a confident but incomplete finding.

Show source coverage, conflicts, timestamps, and unanswered questions.

Sources and evidence

Sources establish feasibility or impact. Not every metric comes from an identical implementation.
