Description

50% of experts and respondents in market studies are fraudulent. In this fireside chat, Solvea's team pulls back the curtain on what actually happens inside a commercial due diligence engagement: skyrocketing cases of expert call fraud, bots infiltrating large-scale surveys, and fact-bases that are thinner than they appear. The pace of deal-making is getting faster and the bar for conviction much higher, but the information environment has gotten harder to trust, not easier, when ChatGPT makes everyone an "expert". We'll explore why the traditional CDD model wasn't built for this moment, what an AI-native approach unlocks in terms of breadth and depth of insight, and how Solvea clients are winning the best deals by moving quickly on diligence.
