The premise
AI can audit a cap table against source documents and flag inconsistencies, but corrections require counsel and corporate-record updates.
What AI does well here
- Reconcile cap-table software against signed grant agreements and board consents.
- Flag missing signatures, expired exercise windows, and 83(b) gaps.
What AI cannot do
- Re-issue grants or correct corporate records without counsel.
- Substitute for a 409A valuation or auditor sign-off.
