The problem
Where this actually gets stuck.
AI shows up in every management presentation and almost none of them survive contact with the detail. Deal teams need a fast, credible read on what's real, what's risk, and what value is genuinely available post-close.
How AI works here
Six places it earns its keep.
01
Pre-deal AI diligence
A fast, honest read on AI claims, dependencies and risk in a target business.
02
Value-creation planning
Where AI can realistically move EBITDA in the hold period, and by roughly how much.
03
Portfolio enablement
Shared playbooks and workshops across portfolio companies rather than one-off projects.
04
Management assessment
Whether the team in place can actually execute an AI plan.
05
Exit positioning
Evidencing AI maturity in a way a buyer will credit.
06
Deal-team fluency
Short sessions so investment professionals can evaluate AI claims themselves.
The ladder
Three ways in, framed for PE.
