The free score tells you where AI upside may exist. The paid report tells you whether it’s real and how to capture it.
You’re about to spend six figures on a business. Before you do, understand exactly where AI can add value after settlement — and what could go wrong if you don’t look closely enough.
A quick screen of the listing’s AI transformation potential. You get a score, a confidence rating, and three headline opportunities. Enough to decide whether to dig deeper.
A detailed buyer-focused report built from the same listing, analysed against sector-specific benchmarks and scored across seven commercial dimensions.
- Full scoring breakdown across all seven dimensions, with the reasoning behind each score
- Deal signals and red flags surfaced before the opportunity narrative — pricing anomalies, unverified claims, and risks a buyer should see first
- Three to four detailed AI use cases, each with the practical mechanism, commercial effect, and tool categories to evaluate
- A 90-day implementation roadmap sequenced by priority, anchored to what the listing actually shows
- Owner dependence and transferability assessment — where critical knowledge sits and how to protect it through the handover
- Score sensitivity analysis showing what would move the score up or down, so you know exactly what to verify
- A tailored pre-purchase question set of 10 to 15 questions specific to this business and its AI potential — ready for your next conversation with the seller or broker
Once you’ve spoken with the seller, submit their answers to the seller question set and receive an updated report. The updated assessment shows what changed, what the seller’s responses mean for the AI thesis, and what still needs verifying before settlement.
How it works
- Start by entering a business listing or business details.
- Deal Lift AI gives you a free first-pass screen on the opportunity.
- Use the free screen to decide whether the business is worth deeper investigation.
- To move beyond the free screen, you log in and enter your dashboard.
- Your saved business screens appear in the dashboard.
- Open the specific business you want to progress.
- The paid report is only purchased from within the dashboard, at the level of the specific business you are reviewing.
- The payment screen appears as part of that dashboard flow.
- Once payment is completed, the business moves into the paid-report stage inside the dashboard.
- The paid report includes a seller question set to help you gather more specific information.
- After you get the seller’s responses, return to the same business inside the dashboard and submit the follow-up information.
- Deal Lift AI then provides the updated assessment so you can see how the investment view changes with better information.
What it’s not
This is not a valuation. It’s not financial advice. It doesn’t replace your accountant, your solicitor, or your own judgement. It’s a structured, sector-informed decision support tool that helps you see where AI fits into the deal — and where the risks sit — before you commit.
Every evidence claim in the report is tagged by source: publicly verified, listing-stated, seller-stated, or sector-inferred. You always know what’s been checked, what’s been claimed, and what’s been assumed.
