Due-Diligence Brief
Produce a structured due-diligence brief on an entity (company, vendor, investment, partner): a planner locks the diligence dimensions and red-flag criteria, a researcher gathers verifiable facts and risk signals per dimension with sources, and a copywriter writes a decision-oriented brief with findings, risks, and an overall read. The ordering matters because diligence without locked dimensions misses a category (e.g. legal, financial, reputational) and a brief without a red-flag rubric buries the risks; fixing the dimensions and what counts as a flag first makes the brief decision-ready and defensible. Use this for vendor/partner due diligence, investment diligence, background briefs on a company or person, risk assessments, and 'should we work with / invest in X' questions.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope the diligence | Planner | lock diligence dimensions + red-flag criteria |
| 2 | Gather facts & signals | Researcher | verifiable facts + risk signals per dimension, sourced |
| 3 | Write the brief | Copywriter | decision-oriented brief with findings, risks, and a read |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
Say something like "due diligence brief" or "diligence on this company" or "background check on a vendor" or "should we partner with" or "risk assessment of an entity" in chat to start it.
