Corp Dev After AI – Day 2: Building the AI diligence stack and risk register behind the premium.

Session 2 – The AI Diligence Stack: How to Underwrite Data, Models, Governance, and Terms Corporate Development After AI – Day 2 of 3: Building the AI diligence stack and risk register behind the premium. “AI-enabled” language is now cheap; in this environment, traditional diligence alone cannot protect a premium. Episode 2 of “Corporate Development After AI,” The AI Diligence Stack: How to Underwrite Data, Models, Governance, and Terms, builds a verification system for AI-era deals. We lay out a nine-workstream diligence stack that covers data, AI and machine learning capability, governance, infrastructure and compute, AI security, IP and legal, talent, customer and commercial dynamics, and third-party vendors. You will see how these workstreams feed a unified AI risk register, how to adjust valuation under AI by explicitly modeling upside, evidence, and risk, and how to embed your findings into earn-outs, representations and warranties, MAC triggers, indemnities, retention mechanics, and vendor contracts. If you approve or structure AI-heavy deals, this episode becomes your diligence blueprint. #CorporateDevelopment #MergersAndAcquisitions #AIDeals #CapitalAllocation #DueDiligence #AIGovernance
