Diligence Checklist

Work a deal through a consistent checklist so every investment is judged on the same evidence.

When to use

  • A deal clears the initial screen and enters diligence.
  • Two deals need comparing on the same basis.

Steps

  1. Team — track record, gaps, and why this team wins.
  2. Market — size, timing, and the wedge.
  3. Product — what works today and the technical moat.
  4. Traction — the metrics and their quality.
  5. Terms — the round, the cap table, and the ask.

Output

A completed diligence checklist with a finding and a confidence level per area, following the [[Investment thesis]]. Feeds the memo the operator decides on.
