2-3 years-7 in 12mo

AI due diligence tools from Kira Systems, Luminance, and DealRoom review data rooms in hours instead of weeks. They extract key terms, flag risks, and compare documents at scale. But the judgment about which risks matter and what they mean for the deal still needs experienced professionals.

The AI angle

AI reviews thousands of documents simultaneously, extracts key provisions, identifies anomalies, and generates issue lists. The document review layer of due diligence is 80%+ automatable. What remains: risk assessment, deal judgment, and the ability to know what questions to ask when something looks wrong.

What to do about it

• Master AI due diligence platforms (Kira, Luminance, DealRoom) • Move from document review to risk assessment and deal advisory • Specialize in a sector: tech M&A, healthcare, real estate • Build expertise in post-merger integration and operational due diligence
