How it works

From ballpark to dollarized report.

01

Model the ROI

Three sliders for an instant read on the enterprise value an audit could surface, on the same savings times multiple math we use.

02

Book the audit

A couple of details, in strict confidence. We scope two days on-site inside your exclusivity window, in parallel with QoE and legal.

03

Get the report

Six IC-ready deliverables before close: operational risk, AI exposure, savings schedule, roadmap, 100-day plan, and the IC memo.

Who you're sending it to

Operators and AI engineers, not a generic agency.

Your numbers come straight to the principals. ChiefAIO is senior operators and AI engineers who have shipped real production systems in the businesses you buy: the month-end close, the AP workflow, the leasing bottleneck. ChiefAIO Audit is our buy-side practice, and everything stays between us from the first click to the close.

ChiefAIO · Pre-close diligence
Confidential by design

Under NDA. No drag on your close.

The audit runs inside your exclusivity window, in parallel with QoE and legal, on-site under whatever cover the deal requires. Findings go to your deal team and into IC, nowhere else.

Before you ask

Fair questions.

What does the audit cost, and what is the guarantee?
A fixed fee for two days on-site, with at least $250K in dollar-quantified annual savings identified or the audit is on us. The fee is small against the enterprise value the findings create at exit.
Does it slow the deal?
No. It runs inside your existing exclusivity window, in parallel with QoE and legal. Pre-audits start at T−7, the on-site is two days, and the dollarized report lands around T+5, before close.
How is this different from QoE or technical diligence?
QoE validates the numbers; tech diligence reviews the stack. Neither tells you whether AI can break the business or multiply it. We map operational risk and AI exposure on one side, and the AI-driven upside on the other, both dollarized.
What if we walk from the deal?
You keep the operational risk map and the AI exposure read. Knowing the machine is worth having whether or not you wire, and it sharpens how you price the next one.
Before you wire

Know the machine before you own it.

Model the ROI, send the numbers, and book two days on-site. Every finding dollarized and delivered before close. Everything stays between us.
