Technical Due Diligence, Done Right.
Gray Ark replaces fragmented DD workflows with a single platform that structures assessments, benchmarks targets against prior deals, and produces defensible reports — from first look through Day 100.
Cross-Deal Benchmarking
Compare every target against your historical deal data. Spot outliers in security posture, tech debt, and infrastructure maturity before they become post-close surprises.
AI-Powered Risk Analysis
Our models parse target responses, flag inconsistencies against documentation, and surface material risks that manual review misses — across thousands of data points per deal.
Audit-Ready Deliverables
Every finding traces back to its source evidence. Generate board-ready reports that stand up to LP scrutiny and regulatory review without manual assembly.
Tech is the most expensive DD workstream in M&A. Most of the spend goes to process, not analysis.
Deal teams still coordinate assessments through email, track findings in spreadsheets, and assemble reports by hand. The result: inconsistent coverage, missed risks, and integration plans built on incomplete data. Gray Ark eliminates the process overhead so your team spends time on judgment, not logistics.
Industry research shows that 45% of investment banking professionals identify technology review as the most costly and time-consuming aspect of M&A due diligence.
What Gray Ark Does
Purpose-built for the technical due diligence workflow — not a VDR with a questionnaire bolted on.
Assessment Engine
Configurable assessment frameworks that map to your investment thesis — not generic checklists. Define what matters for each deal, assign weighted scoring, and track coverage across every category.
- Weighted scoring models with configurable risk thresholds
- Category coverage tracking with gap analysis
- Conditional question logic based on target profile
- Evidence attachment and document linking per finding
- Version-controlled assessment templates across deal teams
“Your assessment criteria become institutional IP. Run them consistently across every deal without rebuilding from scratch.”
AI Risk Analysis
Machine learning models trained on deal data that parse target responses, cross-reference against submitted documentation, and flag material inconsistencies before your team reviews.
- Automated inconsistency detection across response sets
- Natural language analysis of technical documentation
- Risk pattern matching against historical deal outcomes
- Confidence scoring on every flagged finding
“Surface the 5% of findings that drive 80% of deal risk — automatically.”
Deal Room Collaboration
Controlled-access workspaces where internal deal teams, external advisors, and target company respondents work in parallel — each seeing only what their role permits, with full activity auditing.
- Scoped access at the project, category, and question level
- Separate internal commentary and external-facing views
- Token-verified respondent onboarding with no account required
- Complete audit trail of every access, edit, and submission
“Run five workstreams in parallel without a single misdirected email or leaked document.”
Post-Acquisition Integration
Assessment findings flow directly into integration workstreams. Risks identified pre-close become Day 1 action items with assigned owners, priority rankings, and milestone tracking — no context lost in the handoff.
- One-click conversion of DD findings to integration tasks
- Dependency mapping between remediation items
- Progress tracking against Day 30/60/100 milestones
- Inherited risk scoring from pre-acquisition assessment
“The deal team's findings become the integration team's roadmap. Zero re-keying, zero lost context.”
Cross-Deal Analytics
Benchmark every target against your historical portfolio. Compare security maturity, infrastructure complexity, code quality metrics, and compliance posture across deals to calibrate risk and set valuation adjustments.
- Portfolio-wide dashboards with category-level drill-down
- Percentile ranking of targets against prior assessments
- Trend analysis across deal vintages and sectors
“When your investment committee asks how this target compares to the last three, you have the answer in real time.”
Defensible Reporting
Structured reports that consolidate findings, evidence, and risk ratings into documents built for investment committees, boards, and regulators. Every conclusion links to its source data.
- Executive summary with aggregated risk scores
- Category-level deep dives with evidence chains
- Configurable export to PDF, print, or data feed
- Automated appendix generation from attached evidence
“Board-ready in hours, not weeks. Every finding is traceable, every conclusion is defensible.”

CTO / CISO Diligence Teams
Go deeper than surface-level checklists. Evaluate architecture decisions, dependency risk, vulnerability exposure, and operational maturity with structured evidence.
Integration & PMO
Inherit prioritised findings from the DD phase as Day 1 action items. Track remediation against milestones without rebuilding context.
External Advisors
Respond to specific assessment sections through scoped, secure access. No platform accounts, no VPN — just a verified link and the questions that apply to you.
Why Gray Ark
The specifics that matter when you're choosing infrastructure for your deal process.
Built for Tech DD, Not Adapted From Something Else
Every workflow — from questionnaire design to risk scoring to report generation — was built specifically for technology due diligence. This is not a project management tool or VDR with DD features added later.
Assessment Through Integration in One System
Pre-close findings convert directly into post-close integration tasks. The deal team's risk assessments become the integration team's backlog with inherited priority and evidence.
AI That Earns Its Place
Our models do specific, measurable work: detecting inconsistencies between responses and documentation, matching risk patterns against historical outcomes, and generating structured summaries. No black-box scoring.
Cross-Deal Intelligence
Every completed assessment enriches your firm's institutional knowledge. Benchmark new targets against prior deals by category, sector, or risk profile.
Scoped External Access Without the Overhead
Target company teams respond to exactly the questions assigned to them through token-verified links. No platform onboarding, no shared drives, no risk of over-exposure.
Evidence-Linked Reporting
Every finding in every report traces back to the source response, attached document, or analyst note. Built for LP presentations, investment committee memos, and regulatory scrutiny.
