Racing the Clock: How AI Accelerated Due Diligence and Prevented a Costly Misstep
Between the Lines: How AI Brought Clarity to a Tangle of Financial Narratives | Case Study
A Private Equity firm was deep into negotiations for a complex roll-up involving four regional logistics companies. On the surface, the businesses looked synergistic—each with strong EBITDA, scalable operations, and low customer churn. But with closing deadlines looming and over 2,000 pages of documentation to analyse—including financial statements, debt agreements, operational audits, and regulatory filings—traditional review methods couldn’t keep up.
Time constraints, multiple document sources, and inconsistent reporting formats created chaos. Analysts worked around the clock, yet gaps remained in understanding cash flow dependencies, hidden liabilities, and integration risks. The firm needed a fast, accurate way to surface red flags without compromising decision quality. That’s when they deployed aiMDC.
aiMDC processed all documents in parallel — across entities and document types. It flagged inconsistent debt covenants, duplicated revenue projections, and a critical supplier dependency that had gone unnoticed. It not only summarised financial trends but also linked every insight to the exact source pages, enabling fast verification. Within 48 hours, the deal’s risk profile had changed dramatically—and so did the firm’s strategy.

Environment
Objective
Accelerate due diligence across multiple acquisition targets while maintaining accuracy, traceability, and insight into financial and operational risk
What was done
aiMDC ingested 2,000+ pages of CIMs, audited financials, debt covenants, and operational reports from all four companies. It analyzed them simultaneously, cross-referenced key metrics, flagged discrepancies, and provided source-linked summaries of risks and opportunitie
Achievement
Thanks to aiMDC, the firm avoided overpaying for a flawed roll-up strategy. The AI revealed that one target had undisclosed litigation risk, another was double-counting projected revenue from a shared client, and two had conflicting supplier contract terms. These findings altered the firm’s position, allowing them to renegotiate valuation and remove one company from the deal entirely—potentially saving over $18M in overvaluation and legal exposure. Moreover, the firm was able to complete its diligence in 3 days instead of 3 weeks, demonstrating to investors and partners a new standard for speed, accuracy, and confidence in complex, multi-entity transactions
