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.
