87% of deal failures are cultural. So why does nobody measure it before closing?

Simone Vascotto (Founder, Humanaq) joins Dylan to discuss why M&A culture assessments are broken — and how AI-powered behavioral analysis is changing the game for acquirers and roll-ups.

Topics covered:

1. The invisible culture that kills deals — and how to surface it
2. Why "assuming" is the #1 post-merger integration mistake
3. How five open-ended questions can reveal execution risk in under 10 days
4. The tea tray story: a small cultural symbol that triggered a company-wide revolt
5. When cultural due diligence matters — and when it doesn't
6. Cross-border culture clashes and how to navigate them
