Due diligence from a URL. No cooperation required.
Reconix reveals AI-generated code, hidden vendor dependencies, security gaps, compliance exposure, and AI governance maturity. Five risk dimensions before you open the data room.
The evidence
70-75%
of acquisitions fail to deliver expected value
Fortune, 40K-deal study by Baruch Lev & Feng Gu, Nov 2024
31%
of acquired codebases riddled with tech debt; 60% had inadequate security
SIG, 531 M&A codebases, 2025
30-40%
of PE committee time now evaluating AI readiness
PwC, 2025
92%
of SaaS companies have launched or plan to launch AI features
High Alpha 2025 via Zylo, 2025
55%

What Reconix reveals
AI code provenance
Is this "proprietary platform" actually AI-generated? Which AI built it. JP Morgan's 2026 DD guide now explicitly includes AI code provenance.
AI governance maturity
Target has 15 AI-enabled vendors. AI governance policy mentions 2. Stanford's transparency index fell from 58 to 40/100 in one year.
TMS-verified vendor inventory
Parse the target's GTM container for ground-truth vendor data. Not inferred from HTML: declared by the company itself. Includes paused tags, admin structure, version lag.
Security & breach exposure
Missing CSP. 2 vendors breached in last 12 months. Shadow GTM admin with personal Gmail. jQuery 1.x with known XSS.
Compliance liability
47 vendors detected vs. 15 declared. 12 trackers before consent. Quantified GDPR exposure pre-LOI.
Sample risk profile
AI Transparency HIGH
Security & Breach Exposure HIGH
Supply Chain & Vendor ELEVATED
