Independent Technical Due Diligence for AI Infrastructure Transactions
Technical due diligence for AI infrastructure transactions requires independent verification of site, utility, infrastructure, and operational representations — providing buyers, investors, and lenders with the technical foundation for sound transaction decisions.
Practice Description
AI infrastructure transactions — site acquisitions, development agreements, lease structures, and investment decisions — are made on the basis of technical representations that are often produced by parties with conflicts of interest. The seller's site assessment, the developer's utility capacity analysis, and the operator's operational readiness report all reflect the interests of the party producing them.
LegacyGrid's technical due diligence practice provides independent verification of those representations — identifying material risks, challenging unsupported claims, and providing buyers, investors, and lenders with the technical foundation for sound transaction decisions. Due diligence findings are documented in a structured report that connects every technical finding to a transaction risk.
Application
Define the due diligence scope, evidence standard, and deliverable format before beginning. Establish clear interfaces with the seller, developer, and operator. Document all material findings, assumptions, and limitations — and connect every finding to a transaction risk.
Practice Controls
Verify all material technical representations against independent analysis
Document assumptions, exclusions, and evidence limitations explicitly
Connect every technical finding to a transaction risk
Provide a clear summary of material risks and recommended mitigations
Typical Deliverables
Technical due diligence report with findings, risks, and recommendations
Evidence register documenting verified vs. unverified representations
