Data-room review, every finding traceable
The Due Diligence Agent works through an entire data room across corporate, financial, commercial, employment, IP, property, regulatory, and litigation categories. It applies RAG risk flags, detects gaps, and produces a cited tabular Diligence Grid where every finding traces back to its source page.
Speed and thoroughness, on the same review.
A typical M&A data room holds hundreds of documents, and juniors work through them against the clock, copying terms into spreadsheets and flagging issues by hand. Documents get missed, findings drift, and contradictions across documents go unnoticed — with no record of what was actually reviewed.
What goes wrong
- Documents missed or skimmed under deadline pressure
- Contradictions across documents found only after the report is out
- No record proving the scope and depth of the review
From your question to a governed answer
Not a black box. Every step is visible, checkable, and governed. Here's exactly what happens when you use the Due Diligence Agent.
The data room comes in
The agent connects to the data room and reads the documents — PDFs, scans, Word, spreadsheets — into clear, searchable form, with PII Redaction applied to the inputs.
Documents are sorted and prioritised
Each is classified by category and ranked by how much it matters, mapping the whole room before digging into substance.
Key information is extracted
Contract terms, financial figures, corporate details, and key dates are pulled into structured form, each point linked to its source document and page.
Issues are found and RAG-scored
Change-of-control provisions, unusual termination rights, pending litigation, and financial inconsistencies are scored red/amber/green against your thresholds.
The agent reads across documents
It cross-checks the data room — do the financial statements match the management accounts, do the contract terms line up with the disclosure letter — and flags contradictions and gaps.
You get a cited Diligence Grid
Organised by work stream, findings sorted by RAG status, every cell traceable to its source document, page, and clause, with the Legal Citation Verifier checking any regulatory status claims.
Governance pipeline for every output
Every due diligence agent output flows through the same three-stage pipeline.

Everything the Due Diligence Agent can do
Every capability runs on our own legal database and through the same governance — checked, compliant, and logged.
- Documents sorted and prioritised across the whole data room
- Systematic review across all eight diligence categories
- RAG (red/amber/green) risk flags scored against thresholds you set
- Gap detection — what should be in the data room but isn't
- A cited tabular Diligence Grid mode, with a source citation and page reference on every point
- Contradictions caught by reading across documents
Who the Due Diligence Agent is for
- M&A teams running data-room reviews against the clock
- Banking and finance lawyers on loan and security reviews
- Real estate teams handling property diligence at volume
Governance guarantee
A full chain of custody for every document — which agent handled it, what was extracted, what was flagged, and the status of every finding. PII Redaction runs on the inputs, and every figure is checked against the source document, so the Diligence Grid is defensible at every cell.
In practice
Real scenarios, real outcomes
How different roles in your firm would use the Due Diligence Agent — with specific scenarios and governed outcomes.
Scenario
A 400-document data room for a mid-market acquisition, with a report due in ten working days and three associates.
Governed outcome
Sorting and extraction in two days; the team focuses on the forty red and amber findings; the report goes out on day seven, every finding traceable.
Scenario
A security review for a refinancing across eighty documents, multiple parties, and layered security.
Governed outcome
The security chain mapped, gaps in corporate authority found, title defects flagged with source references.
Scenario
Portfolio diligence on twenty-five commercial properties, each with titles, leases, consents, and surveys.
Governed outcome
Data pulled property by property and compared across the portfolio, with break clauses and rent-review dates tabulated and anomalies flagged.
What makes this different
Built for legal work, not relabelled for it
A cited Diligence Grid, not a summary
Structured cells you can tabulate, compare, and query, each one traceable.
It reads across the data room
Contradictions and gaps that single-document review misses are caught.
Every finding links to its source
The reviewing partner clicks from a cell to the exact clause in the original.
RAG scoring you can tune
What's red for an asset purchase may be amber for a share sale; you set it per deal.
Built on our own legal database
The Due Diligence Agent checks every output against BAILII, legislation.gov.uk, EUR-Lex, and our own legal database — a curated, constantly updated source we built in-house for faster checking. It's our own work, and it lets us cross-reference across jurisdictions in ways the public sources can't on their own.
Built-in governance
How Verify, Comply, Prove works for the Due Diligence Agent
Every agent on LegalAI Space runs through the same three steps. Here's exactly what that means for due diligence agent outputs.
Every figure checked against the document
Every point in the grid traces back to, and is checked against, its source document. Nothing is asserted that can't be pointed to.
- Financial figures cross-checked against the source documents
- Legal entity names and registration details confirmed against Companies House
- Contract terms quoted word-for-word with page references
- Regulatory status claims checked against legislation.gov.uk or the regulator's record
The review checked against scope
The Regulatory Compliance Check confirms the review covers every document and category in the agreed scope. Coverage is tracked, not assumed.
- Coverage tracked — which documents are done, which are pending
- Every agreed work stream and diligence category complete
- RAG scores applied in line with the agreed framework
- Extraction held to the same standard across the whole set
Every finding traces back to its source
Each finding has a full trail — from when the document came in, through extraction and checking, to the risk score. The chain of custody is complete.
- Processing log: when the document came in, how it was read, OCR confidence
- Extraction log: what was pulled out, from which page, with what confidence
- Risk-score reasoning: which threshold applied, and why this RAG status
- Cross-document checks: which documents were compared, and what turned up
