Customer Story

Outcomes from Governed Diligence Workflows

The Challenge

Private equity diligence teams were stuck in 12–14 week cycles. Each deal required 100+ hours of manual packet creation, with constant rework caused by missing items, contradictions, and slow seller and advisor follow-ups.

The Solution

Perceive Now introduced governed diligence workflows that automated pack creation, ensured completeness, and aligned stakeholders early eliminating delays and reducing manual effort.

BEFORE

Mid-Market Industrial Roll-up

14-week diligence cycles with manual data extraction and missed risks.

AFTER

18-day cycle

Identified $4.2M in pricing leakage hidden in the VDR that the deal team previously missed.

BEFORE

Tech-Enabled Services Carve-out

Weeks spent manually auditing 400+ patents and 1M+ lines of code for technical debt.

AFTER

72-hour deep audit

Surfaced a technical debt risk that led to a $12M deal re-cut.

BEFORE

Multi-PortCo "Manage" Mandate

10-day monthly "fire drills" to consolidate reports from 12 legacy ERPs.

AFTER

4-hour automated reporting

Execution tracking is now a live operating rhythm across the entire fund.
