AI diligence, rebuilt for capital decisions

Don't write a check on
AI you can't defend.

Kaptrix pressure-tests AI companies before capital moves — scoring what's real, exposing what contradicts, and producing the decision-grade package your IC can stand behind.

  • Every score traced to a specific source passage.
  • Contradictions across decks, contracts, and code flagged automatically.
  • IC-ready outputs defensible at committee — and eighteen months later.

The cost of being wrong

The check clears fast. The bill comes later.

  • Overpay for a wrapper priced like a platform.
  • Undisclosed vendor and model dependencies surface post-close.
  • Narrative scored as capability; the cliff appears in quarter three.
  • A thesis you can't defend when LPs, the board, or the exit committee asks how the call got made.

What Kaptrix does

A decision system. Not a report generator.

01

Ingests the evidence

CIMs, contracts, code, customer calls, model specs — pulled in, parsed, and indexed as the source of truth for the engagement.

02

Scores what's real

A fixed rubric applied to the dimensions that actually break AI companies. Every score tied back to a specific passage.

03

Exposes contradictions

Decks claim one thing; contracts and code say another. The gap is surfaced, not absorbed.

04

Ships decision-grade outputs

IC memo, risk register, execution plan — each one defensible on the way in and on the way out.

How it works

Intake. Scoring. Outputs.

  1. 01Intake

    Ingest the full room — CIMs, contracts, code artifacts, customer calls, model specs.

  2. 02Scoring

    Apply a fixed rubric to the dimensions that break AI companies — every score tied to evidence.

  3. 03Outputs

    Ship an IC memo, risk register, and execution plan with a full audit trail from artifact to decision.

Outputs

What lands on your desk. Sourced. Auditable. Usable.

Deliverable

AI Diligence Report

What: Ten-section master report: architecture, data, evals, team, moat, vendor risk, scaling, compliance, commercial posture.

Why it matters: The document the partner reads on the train. It has to survive scrutiny.

Deliverable

Investment Committee Memo

What: Recommendation, thesis, key risks, mitigations, and decision rationale — condensed to IC format.

Why it matters: A clear call, not a summary. Dissent is grounded in the same facts.

Deliverable

Technical Risk Register

What: Ranked register of technical, model, data, vendor, and operational risks with severity, triggers, and owners.

Why it matters: The handoff to the post-close team so nothing drops in the first 90 days.

Deliverable

Competitive Posture

What: Where the company leads, where it's exposed, and what happens when the next model release lands.

Why it matters: Tells you whether the moat is real or a six-month lead dressed up as one.

Deliverable

Value Creation & Execution Plan

What: Sequenced 100-day plan: what to fix, scale, restructure, or kill — owner-tagged, tied to thesis levers.

Why it matters: The gap between a good thesis and a good return is execution. This is where that gap closes.

Why Kaptrix

Not another tool. Not another consultant.

  • Evidence or nothing — no score exists without a source passage behind it.
  • Tuned to AI failure modes — data drift, eval gaps, prompt fragility, vendor lock, silent degradation.
  • Contradiction-native — the gap between deck, contract, and code is the product, not an afterthought.
  • Reproducible — the same rubric applied the same way across every deal in the pipeline.
  • Compounding — your private knowledge base gets sharper with every engagement you run through it.

Execution layer

This doesn't die in a PDF.

  • Sequenced 100-day plan with owners, dependencies, and success criteria.
  • Architecture and data-layer remediation targeted at the fragility diligence surfaced.
  • Eval, observability, and model-governance scaffolding — instrumented before it breaks.
  • Vendor and model hardening: reduce lock-in, add fallbacks, renegotiate before leverage shifts.

The moat

Intelligence that compounds.

Your submissions train your private knowledge base — fully isolated, never shared, never used to train models for anyone else.

  • Every artifact, adjustment, and rationale folds into your private index — nothing is discarded.
  • Patterns across architectures and failure modes carry from deal to deal.
  • Institutional memory survives team turnover and market cycles.
  • The tenth engagement is materially sharper — and harder to match — than the first.

Before the wire goes out

Don't write a check on AI you can't defend.

You'll answer for this decision — at the next IC, at the board, at the exit. Bring the evidence.
