# Due diligence documents that AI reviews from the same source of truth

Financial statements, customer contracts and policies as verified AI Versions with page citations, so buy-side and sell-side AI reviews start from identical, traceable text.

## The problem

Both sides of a deal now run AI review over hundreds of documents. Extraction errors in either pipeline turn into questions, delays and mistrust.

Reviewers need to trace every AI-produced figure back to a page.

## How The Papers handles it

1. Publish the diligence set into a private Data Room; only members can read it, and private content is never stored in shared caches.
2. Every metric and claim carries its source page, slide or cell, so answers can be checked in seconds.
3. Ambiguous items go to the owner once, and the answer is recorded as owner-confirmed for every reader.

## What is checked against the source

- statement figures and subtotals
- contract amounts, dates and parties
- page citation on every value

## Where to put the link

The deal room invitation and the information request list.

The Papers is not a PDF-to-Markdown converter. Conversion is the first step. Before an AI Version is published, its figures, currencies, dates, periods, qualifiers and formulas are checked against the original document, each value keeps a reference to its source page or cell, and anything the source does not settle is put to the document owner instead of guessed.
