AI Authenticity Assessment
Trace every AI call across code and workflows to separate proprietary models and fine-tunes from third-party API usage and hidden manual work, and assess how defensible the AI really is.

AI Cost & Unit Economics Review
Calculate AI inference cost per user, per transaction and as a share of revenue, model costs at 3x and 10x scale, and identify savings from routing, caching and smaller models.
Model Vendor Lock-in Review
Assess dependency on AI model providers, committed spend and data terms, and whether the business could switch providers without a rebuild if prices or terms change.
AI Security Assessment
Review prompt injection exposure, data leakage to model providers, AI agent permissions, model supply chain risk, secrets management and alignment with OWASP guidance.
Data Privacy & Compliance Review
Map personal data flows into AI systems and review consent, data transfers and technical controls against PIPEDA and Alberta PIPA, plus EU AI Act exposure where relevant.

AI Due Diligence Across St. Albert Sectors
Know what the AI is really worth before you invest or acquire in St. Albert.
Investors, acquirers and enterprise buyers in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada are increasingly evaluating SMEs, family businesses and growing technology companies that describe themselves as AI-driven. Alberta's technology sector has grown rapidly alongside its energy, agriculture and industrial base, and AI is now central to many investment and acquisition decisions. Buyers need to separate genuine AI capability from marketing claims, understand AI operating costs and confirm that personal data is handled in line with Canadian and provincial privacy law.
ELITIST delivers a fixed-scope, fully remote AI and technology due diligence audit using a structured 60-point framework across architecture, code quality, AI authenticity, infrastructure and unit economics, security, data and compliance, intellectual property, team and process, and product roadmap. We trace every AI call, independently test AI claims, model AI costs at scale, review controls against PIPEDA and Alberta PIPA, and flag potential deal-breakers in a mid-point red-flag memo.
An investor-ready report with an overall verdict, a Red, Amber, Green scorecard, an AI reality check, a risk register with deal impact, AI unit economics, a cost-to-fix estimate and a prioritised remediation roadmap, so decision-makers in St. Albert can proceed, renegotiate or walk away with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
An AI due diligence audit is an independent assessment of a company's AI capabilities and surrounding technology. It verifies whether the AI is genuine, performs as claimed, is owned by the company, is cost-efficient at scale, is secure and complies with data protection requirements, and estimates what it would cost to fix any issues found.
Yes. We work with investors, acquirers, lenders and founders in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada through fully remote delivery, using read-only access to code, cloud and billing data and video interviews with the target's leadership, aligned to Alberta business hours.
We trace every AI call in the code and workflows to identify which models are used and what proprietary data, fine-tuning and workflow logic sits around them, then test the AI independently against the claims made to investors.
A Red Flag Scan typically takes about five working days, a Standard AI and technology due diligence takes two to three weeks, and a Deep buy-side review takes four to five weeks, starting once access and documents are provided.
Private-sector organisations in Alberta are generally covered by Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), while federally regulated businesses and many cross-border data flows fall under the federal PIPEDA, and health information is covered by Alberta's Health Information Act. Canada's approach to AI-specific regulation is still evolving. We review the technical controls behind these obligations; formal legal advice should come from qualified Canadian counsel.
AI model usage is a variable cost that grows with every customer interaction. If it is not measured per user or per transaction, it can quietly erode margins as the business scales, so we calculate it and model it at three and ten times current scale.
Yes. A vendor-side readiness audit uses the same framework investors apply, so founders can find and fix red flags in advance, answer technical questions confidently, shorten deal timelines and protect their valuation.
Every tier has a fixed scope and a fixed fee agreed before work starts, quoted in CAD or USD. The fee depends on the tier and the size of the target, and a Red Flag Scan fee can be credited towards a full audit if you upgrade.
