Risk register
R-001: Financing and valuation terms are not public
Public sources support $5.25B unicorn status, but cap table, liquidation preferences, option pool, debt and current 409A are private.
Diligence request: Request financing documents, cap table, 409A history, investor rights and debt/SAFE schedules.
R-002: Revenue quality and customer concentration cannot be verified publicly
Customer names, usage or aggregate scale do not disclose ARR by account, retention, churn, backlog or gross margin.
Diligence request: Request customer-level ARR, cohort retention, renewal pipeline, backlog and top-customer contracts.
R-008: Public-source evidence cannot verify profitability or runway
No audited financials, cash balance, burn, debt, margin or runway schedule was public.
Diligence request: Request monthly financial model, bank statements, runway scenarios, budget variance and debt/off-balance-sheet schedules.
R-003: Strategic partner and supplier concentration may be material
Public relationships include Snowflake, SAP Datasphere, 300+ service partners, but dependency economics and termination rights are private.
Diligence request: Request partner/supplier contracts, SLAs, termination provisions and revenue contribution.
R-004: Competitive pressure may compress pricing and retention
The data governance and AI compliance category has credible incumbents and venture-backed alternatives.
Diligence request: Run win/loss calls, pipeline reviews, discounting analysis and churn reason-code analysis.
R-005: Product roadmap execution and technical claims need telemetry
Public product and R&D signals are not enough to validate uptime, performance, model/AI quality, clinical quality or engineering cost.
Diligence request: Request roadmap, release history, product usage, incident reports, QA metrics and engineering-capacity plan.
R-006: Legal, privacy and regulatory exposure requires counsel review
Security, privacy, data governance, AI governance and contract compliance are material to enterprise adoption.
Diligence request: Request SOC/HITRUST/ISO reports, privacy/regulatory correspondence, DPAs/BAAs, insurance and counsel memo.
R-007: Management, headcount and retention data are incomplete
Public leadership/headcount signals do not disclose attrition, compensation, incentive plans or key-person dependencies.
Diligence request: Request org chart, payroll roster, attrition, compensation, equity plan and key employment agreements.
