Structured due diligence across five areas: people, financials, legal, technical feasibility, and market validation. Interactive checklists walk you through each area, flag risks, and produce a summary with severity ratings and mitigations.
Get the Skill Part of Starter KitThe skill walks through each area interactively — asking questions, probing for gaps, and flagging red flags as you go. It reads any existing research from your opportunity directory so you don't repeat yourself.
Background checks, track record, commitment level, equity expectations, working style, references.
Unit economics, LTV:CAC ratio, burn rate, runway, break-even analysis, capital requirements.
IP ownership, entity structure, partner agreements, vesting, regulatory compliance, insurance.
Build vs buy, MVP timeline, team capabilities, single-point-of-failure risks, third-party dependencies.
Customer conversations, willingness to pay, validation level (0–5 scale), pre-orders or LOIs.
Each area has its own red flag checklist. The skill doesn't just collect information — it actively probes for common failure patterns based on real-world due diligence frameworks.
The market validation area uses a 6-level scale to assess how much evidence you have that customers actually want this. Level 0 is a hunch. Level 5 is money in the bank.
Most opportunities stall between Level 1 and 2 — where enthusiasm from friends gets mistaken for market demand. The skill pushes you to be honest about where you actually are.
| Level | Evidence | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | "I think people would want this" | Lowest |
| 1 | Friends/family said it's good | Low |
| 2 | 5+ potential customers interviewed | Moderate |
| 3 | Customers said they'd pay $X | Good |
| 4 | Letter of intent or pre-order | Strong |
| 5 | Someone has already paid | Highest |
