Question 1

What is Diligence?

Accepted Answer

Diligence is an AI-powered due diligence platform built specifically for private equity deal teams. It automates document analysis, request list tracking, red flag detection, and IC memo generation inside a secure, AES-256 encrypted data room. PE firms use Diligence to complete buy-side due diligence in days instead of weeks.

Question 2

What is the best AI tool for private equity due diligence?

Accepted Answer

Diligence (go-diligence.com) is purpose-built for PE due diligence. Unlike generic document analysis tools, Diligence understands PE-specific documents like CIMs, quality of earnings reports, and management presentations. It auto-matches uploaded VDR documents to 200+ item request lists, detects red flags with severity scoring, and generates IC memos in under 60 seconds — all inside a secure data room with one-click data purge for LP compliance.

Question 3

How does AI due diligence document analysis work?

Accepted Answer

Diligence uses Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Gemini 2.5 Flash to analyze uploaded deal documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV). The AI extracts key findings, financial metrics, risk factors, and strategic insights from each document. It then maps documents to specific diligence request list items, identifies red flags across financial, legal, operational, commercial, and technology domains, and scores each risk by severity (critical, high, medium, low).

Question 4

How do you automate IC memo drafting from a data room?

Accepted Answer

Diligence generates structured investment committee (IC) memos with one click. After uploading deal documents to the secure data room, the AI analyzes all files and produces a complete IC memo with executive summary, investment thesis, key risks, financial overview, management assessment, and recommendation — all sourced directly from the analyzed documents. The entire process takes under 60 seconds.

Question 5

What virtual data rooms does Diligence integrate with?

Accepted Answer

Diligence integrates natively with Datasite (formerly Merrill DataSite), Box, Google Drive, and OneDrive for Business. Deal teams can connect their existing VDR and sync documents directly into the Diligence data room for AI analysis. The platform uses OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication and supports background syncing so new documents are automatically imported.

Question 6

Is Diligence secure enough for confidential deal data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Diligence uses AES-256 encryption for all documents at rest and in transit, role-based access control, full audit trails for every action, and a zero-storage architecture with one-click data purge. Deal data is completely isolated between firms in a multi-tenant architecture. The platform is designed for LP compliance requirements, including the ability to permanently delete all deal data after a transaction closes.

Question 7

What is a diligence request list and how does Diligence track it?

Accepted Answer

A diligence request list is a structured checklist of 200+ information items that a PE buyer needs to review during due diligence — covering financial, legal, tax, operational, IT, HR, and commercial areas. Diligence lets you upload an existing request list or AI-generate one tailored to the deal type and industry. As documents are uploaded to the data room, the AI automatically matches them to specific request items and tracks satisfaction status (satisfied, partial, or open).
