Is this from a buyer's or a founder's perspective?

Founder's. We've sat on both sides, but this is the prep we wish every founder did before walking into DD. It surfaces issues while you can still fix them.

When should I use it?

6-12 weeks before the formal DD process starts. Long enough to remediate, short enough that nothing rots.

No. The PDF lands in your inbox within 60 seconds, then nothing unless you opt in. No drip campaign, no salesperson pinging you. Unsubscribe is one click and respected immediately.

Why are you giving this away?

We use these in client engagements every week. If you find them useful and ever decide you want help applying them, you know where to find us. If not, no obligation — we still hope they save you a meeting or two.

Pulled from the actual frameworks we use in client engagements — including the artefacts that we hand off at the end of each phase. Not theory. The version of the resource you'd see if we ran the work for you.
