02 · The ACERBO framework
The ACERBO framework
Human + Artificial Intelligence = speed without losing control. AI agents analyze and calculate in real time; human judgment stays sovereign over evaluation and recommendation.
03 · The problem
70% of M&A deals fail to meet expectations.
European SMEs still run extraordinary transactions with ordinary tools: manual spreadsheets, fragmented due diligence, slow financial analysis. When speed of decision is the edge, intuition alone is no longer enough.
Artificial intelligence does not replace human judgment. It amplifies it.
Traditional vs AI-augmented
From 4–6 weeks of M&A due diligence to 3–5 days. Same skills, different speed and depth — always with a human in the loop.
| Activity | Traditional | AI-augmented |
|---|---|---|
| Financial due diligence | 4–6 weeks | 3–5 days |
| Valuation modeling | 1–2 weeks | 24–48 hours |
| Contract review (200+) | 3–4 weeks | 2–3 days |
| Scenario analysis | 1 week / scenario | Multiple scenarios in hours |
| Cash flow forecasting | Monthly, manual | Real-time, predictive |
| Red flag detection | Analyst-dependent | Systematic, 24/7 |
| Post-merger monitoring | Quarterly reports | Live dashboards and alerts |
04 · What sets this apart
What sets this apart
«I am not a traditional consultant. I am an entrepreneur who uses AI to solve complex problems.»
Twenty-plus years in digital across Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal. I founded and ran companies in digital marketing, AI, big data, and blockchain with consolidated revenue above €20M.
I have lived M&A and turnaround firsthand — as founder, buyer, and target. I know negotiating under pressure and deciding with incomplete data.
Today I combine that experience with state-of-the-art AI tools for a differentiated offering in the European SME market.
