Thirty-seven dimensions, five evidence levels, six readiness gates, seven valuation methods. The model is the same across every tier. What changes is the evidence we are given to work from.
TSM produces the same structural report across the multiple DD activities: a Public-Source DD built from publicly available evidence only, a Private-Source DD that adds materials shared in confidence (typically the pitch deck and supporting context, no NDA), a Confidential-Source DD that layers in data-room materials under NDA, and a Vetted-Source DD that adds in independently checked field data — customer references, legal review, technical review, and expert calls.
We assess the company from public sources — website, registries, databases, news, LinkedIn, published materials. No founder involvement required. The system runs the full thirty-seven-dimension framework with five evidence levels, six readiness gates, seven valuation methods, and screening against five hundred tarpit patterns.
Run it before you engage. Know what the company looks like from the outside before you ask for the inside.
Builds on the public-source assessment with materials the founder has shared in confidence — typically the pitch deck, business plan, and supporting context. No NDA required. The framework runs deeper because there is more to read: positioning claims tested against the founder's own narrative, financial assumptions cross-checked against what the deck asserts, and gaps surfaced where the deck implies more than the public evidence supports.
The lightest-weight way to get a structured read of materials a founder has volunteered.
Once the company has opened its data room, we run the same framework on the confidential materials — pitch deck, financial model, business case, technical documents, any format. The deeper input produces a richer assessment: more evidence, higher confidence scores, a more precise valuation range, and sharper handoff into your reference calls and management interviews.
Commission it when a company is on your engaged list and worth the depth.
Adds independently verified field data on top of the confidential assessment — customer reference calls, legal review of contracts and IP, technical review of the architecture, and expert calls into the relevant domain. Where the Confidential-Source DD reads what the company has provided, the Vetted-Source DD checks what holds up.
The deepest read in the ladder before custom field work.
The complete set of documents needed to go from we want to raise to we are ready to raise. Produced from evidence, not from templates. Includes the Confidential-Source DD that underpins everything — the same framework an investor's own DD will hold you against.
The foundation. Thirty-seven dimensions, five evidence levels, readiness gates, valuation range with uplift triggers. Before investors assess you, you see what they will see.
The document an investment committee reads. Deal thesis, evidence summary, risks, recommendation. Written in the register an IC expects.
Built from your evidence. Not a template filled in — a narrative constructed from what the assessment actually found.
Your existing deck, assessed against what investors are looking for. Specific feedback on what is strong and what will cost you a meeting.
The commercial argument translated for generalist investors. Market, monetisation, unit economics, scaling path.
The document every deep-tech investor asks for. Architecture, differentiation, IP position, development milestones, technical risk register. The artefact most founders are underprepared to produce.
Three strategy documents covering what you will sell, how you will capture value, and how the technology will develop.
Outside the ladder. Where the question is specific enough that a standard tier does not fit — an investor memo synthesising snapshot scores with longitudinal trajectory, a technical dossier that drills deeper into one architecture, a closure plan that maps the path from current state to exit condition, a portfolio-wide cross-section against a thesis. The model produces the structured analysis. We shape the deliverable for its audience.
The richer the underlying fixture, the richer the output. A company with only a snapshot assessment gets a bespoke document built from that data. A company with monitoring history gets trajectory woven through.
The comparison
Bain, EY, and PwC commercial DD teams charge €20,000–30,000 per engagement. The majority of that work is desk-based synthesis — and classically, you don't commission it until a company is on your short list. Moved earlier, the same synthesis sharpens which companies get engaged on in the first place, surfaces the gaps you will probe in the management call, and lets you compare deals on the same framework instead of ten different pitch decks. Your field work stays yours.

Confidential-Source DD: two working days from data room access. Vetted-Source DD: timing depends on third-party availability.
