AI-Driven Resort Property Acquisition & Contract Risk Analysis

THE CHALLENGE

Reviewing 100+ vendor contracts with complex terms, multi-year obligations, and inconsistent structures.
Identifying embedded financial and operational risks that were not visible in summary-level documents.
Quantifying how penalties, cancellations, escalations, and contract dependencies could affect EBITDA and valuation.
Completing comprehensive due diligence under tight timelines with limited internal bandwidth.

OUR APPROACH

Conducted an AI-driven review of 100+ vendor contracts, extracting key terms and converting them into clear financial impacts.
Reconciled contract terms and vendor bills with historical financials to validate costs and uncover discrepancies.
Tested the investment thesis through market sizing, regulatory checks, and competitive analysis to flag valuation risks.
Built scenario models quantifying EBITDA sensitivity to contract changes and delivered dashboards highlighting key risks and outcomes.

VALUE DELIVERED

Speed: AI automation accelerated contract review and financial reconciliation, keeping diligence on schedule.
Accuracy: Clear P&L-linked contract mapping and validated financials removed uncertainty around true costs.
Risk Clarity: Highlighted key contractual and operational risks that could affect valuation.
Decision Confidence: Delivered concise scenario outputs and dashboards that supported a faster, conviction-led acquisition.
