Diligence that holds up in the IC.

Signal is Semanti's AI-native tech due diligence engine. Run it pre-transaction to underwrite the deal, or pre-process to clean the surface before a buyer weaponises what you missed.

What Signal covers

Engineering01

Code & infra

Architecture, dependency hygiene, deployment posture, scalability stress points.

AI02

Model & data

Model provenance, eval coverage, training-data rights, on-prem vs vendor exposure.

People03

Team & process

Key-person risk, hiring funnel, release cadence, on-call maturity.

Regulatory04

Compliance posture

Controls framework, third-party usage, customer-data flow, jurisdictional risk.

What Signal looks at

The diligence work the IC actually wants — not a hundred-page deck of red-amber-green, but the six or seven decisions that will move the deal.

  • 01

    Eval coverage

    Are the company's own evaluations exercising what it ships? Coverage gaps that the seller's deck won't show.

  • 02

    Secrets & credentials

    Static and dynamic scans of secret hygiene, key rotation, and credential reuse across environments.

  • 03

    Vendor lock-in

    Where the business's continuity depends on a single model, embedding provider, or cloud — and what the migration cost looks like.

  • 04

    Model provenance

    Which models were used, how they were fine-tuned, whose data trained them, and what the licensing actually permits at exit.

  • 05

    IP & data rights

    Customer-data flows mapped against contracts. Where the company has the rights it claims — and where it does not.

  • 06

    Scalability stress points

    The two or three points where the system breaks at the new owner's scale, with order-of-magnitude remediation estimates.

Two phases. One diligence engine.

Signal runs the same surface for buyers running technical DD and sellers cleaning up before a process. The depth and audience differ; the evidence pipeline does not.

Buyer-side

Pre-transaction technical diligence

For buyers running tech DD on a target. We sit alongside your legal and commercial teams, run a focused four-week engagement, and produce an IC-ready memo with the three or four findings that will actually shape the SPA. We don't bill by the page.

  • Senior engineer-led — no off-shored checklists
  • Four-week engagement, IC-ready memo at the end
  • Findings tied directly to SPA language and price
Sell-side

Exit-prep tech surface clean-up

For sellers planning a process in the next six to eighteen months. Signal runs the diligence a sophisticated buyer would run, surfaces the issues that would suppress the price, and works alongside the CTO to remediate before the data room opens.

  • Identify the findings a sophisticated buyer would weaponise
  • Six-to-eighteen-month remediation plan, owner per item
  • Re-run before the data room opens; clean evidence on day one
