Situation
Affirma Capital needed an independent technical view across three acquisition targets.
Challenge
Hidden PIPA and GDPR gaps could change the deal economics and post-acquisition plan.
Action
As Principal Technical Advisor, Sébastien conducted technical due diligence across the three targets and tested compliance and architecture evidence.
Result
The work identified €4M in potential regulatory exposure before acquisition.
Reflection
Due diligence should expose assumptions and evidence; it should not manufacture seller motives, settlement terms, or remediation timelines.
