M&A Due Diligence

Don't Buy a Lawsuit.

Is the AI you're acquiring built on stolen land?

MOZG Role

We provide the forensic certainty investors require. We validate IP ownership before you sign the check.

The "Napster Moment" for AI

Major copyright lawsuits (NYT vs OpenAI, Getty Images vs Stability AI) are setting precedents. If the target model was trained on "Poisoned Data," the entire asset could be a liability.

MOZG Role

We check if the target model was trained on the specific datasets currently subject to class-action litigation.

Algorithmic Disgorgement

The FTC has established a new penalty: "Algorithmic Disgorgement." This means if a model is trained on illicit data, the regulator can force you to delete the model entirely.

MOZG Role

We assess the risk of deletion orders based on the target's data collection practices.

01. Asset Verification

The "Data DNA" Audit

We trace model weights back to their training data sources. We build the "Data Bill of Materials" (DataBOM) to prove the asset is clean of stolen IP.

MOZG Role

We provide forensic certainty by validating the provenance of every dataset used in training.

Executive Insight

Know exactly what you are buying. Don't pay for a model trained on data you'll have to delete.

02. Risk Mitigation

Viral License Detection

A single file with a GPL/Copyleft license can legally force you to open-source your entire proprietary stack. We scan for this "viral" infection.

MOZG Role

We scan the entire codebase for license incompatibilities that could destroy IP value.

Executive Insight

Protect your IP valuation. Ensure the target codebase is sterile and commercially viable.

03. Valuation Reality

Technical "Moat" Analysis

Is it real IP or just a wrapper around OpenAI? We review the architecture to quantify the true technical value of the deal.

MOZG Role

We assess the architectural independence and technical defensibility of the target's AI stack.

Executive Insight

Avoid overpaying for "AI Startups" that have no proprietary technology or defensible advantage.

The MOZG "Clean Room"
  • Air-gapped audit environment
  • No internet access for code under review
  • Strict NDA & Data Destruction Protocols

MOZG Role

We guarantee we won't leak the IP we are auditing. Your target's secrets stay secret.

Vendor Risk Scoring

Modern AI apps are chains of dependencies. If a critical API provider changes their terms or goes bankrupt, the product breaks.

MOZG Role

We rate 3rd-party dependencies and tell you if their critical vendor is about to go bankrupt or change APIs.

FORENSIC UNIT

We Speak Code and Law.

Traditional law firms don't understand neural networks. Traditional dev shops don't understand copyright law. We are the missing link. Our team consists of IP lawyers who code and data scientists who understand litigation.
