DealRoom Launches AI Analysis to Reduce Due Diligence Document Analysis Time by 60-80%

The Pain of Manual Document Review in M&A: An Unnecessary Burden

Imagine this, your M&A team is in the middle of due diligence, and you’re faced with mountains of employee agreements, vendor contracts, lease documents - each requiring detailed scrutiny. The process, crucial as it is, quickly becomes a race against the clock.

Manually reviewing 100s of documents to identify risks, spot unique clauses, or understand the impact of provisions eats away at your time, leaving little room for strategic analysis. The endless review process isn’t just a pain, it drains your resources and delays deal timelines.

Manual document review not only consumes time but also opens the door to costly mistakes. A missed clause here, an overlooked provision there, and suddenly your deal is at risk.  This is the pain M&A teams face every day. 

Introducing DealRoom AI's First Feature: AI Analysis

To tackle this head-on, DealRoom launches AI Analysis, the first feature of DealRoom AI. Based on feedback from beta users like Becky Manders from IVC Evidensia, who called the tool a "game-changer" for automating document review, we’ve fine-tuned and expanded its functionality to better serve M&A teams. Now fully integrated into the DealRoom M&A Platform, AI Analysis transforms the document review process from a marathon into a quick sprint.

What is AI Analysis?

It’s a purpose-built feature for M&A that not only extracts critical information from due diligence documents but also generates tailored summary reports of these documents. Whether you’re reviewing 50 employee contracts or stacks of lease agreements, AI Analysis works by running pre-built templates designed for specific document types and pulling key insights into a summary view within minutes. Instead of spending days sifting through details, teams can now get a clear overview of the most important provisions at a glance, reducing manual effort while cutting down on internal and external legal costs, minimizing errors, and accelerating decision-making.

Say, for example,  you’re reviewing dozens of employee agreements. With AI Analysis, you simply apply the employee agreement template available to all the documents, and within minutes, you receive a summary report highlighting critical details like bonus structures, non-compete clauses, or termination conditions—presented in a concise, tabular format for easy comparison. The same process applies to other types of documents, from service agreements to vendor contracts. By turning manual labor into automated insights, AI Analysis ensures your team can handle the growing volume of data with speed and precision.

Practical Use Cases

Benefits of AI Analysis

Here are the key advantages of using AI Analysis:

1. Reduce document analysis time by up to 80%  

With AI Analysis, M&A teams no longer need to spend hours or days manually reviewing documents. The feature drastically cuts down the time it takes to identify key provisions, allowing teams to focus on more strategic elements of the deal. This speed is critical for keeping the deal timeline on track and avoiding unnecessary delays.

2. Reduce internal & external legal costs by 60%  

By automating the review of legal documents, DealRoom AI reduces the need for extensive external legal counsel, allowing companies to save on legal fees. This freed-up budget can be redirected towards growth initiatives or other high-priority projects, making the M&A process more cost-effective overall.

3. Minimize the risk of overlooking key details  

Manual document reviews can lead to costly oversights, with critical provisions going unnoticed. AI Analysis ensures every important clause is flagged and highlighted, reducing the risk of errors and giving M&A teams the confidence that nothing crucial has been missed.

A New Era for M&A: Say Goodbye to Manual Reviews

With the launch of AI Analysis, DealRoom is ushering in a new era of M&A efficiency. Teams can now manage high volumes of documents with ease, ensuring that due diligence is faster, more accurate, and less resource-intensive. As Tyler Huntington from SAM noted, “DealRoom AI allows us to focus on analyzing the data rather than curating it for review, saving us valuable time.”
