due-diligence

due-diligence is a skill for Claude Code from anotb/management-consulting-plugin. It costs 52 tokens per session (736 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A business-assessment method for deciding whether an acquisition, investment, partnership, or vendor deal makes sense. It examines commercial, operational, financial, strategic, and technology risks and links findings to price and deal terms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Assessing acquisition targets, investment opportunities, partnerships, and vendors; reviewing revenue quality, customers, operations, technology, working capital, cash flow, and projections.
Why use it?
It turns scattered company information into a clear proceed-or-stop recommendation. It also helps avoid relying on invented figures by identifying the real documents and data needed for review.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

due-diligence scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Due Diligence

Determine whether the opportunity is viable, what remains unverified, and which findings change value, terms, conditions, or the operating decision. Adapt to the transaction: an acquisition needs price and funding implications; a vendor assessment may turn on service continuity, switching cost, or exit rights.

Establish the decision, materiality, deadline, access, and scope from the brief. Use available materials before requesting more. Prioritize unknowns that could change the decision, and continue independent work while access is incomplete. A data gap is a limitation or risk to investigate, not proof of concealment. Do not invent data, interviews, benchmarks, or assurances.

Investigate the thesis

State the propositions that must hold for the opportunity to work and the evidence that would disprove them. Focus effort on concentration, renewal, earnings quality, cash requirements, capabilities, and other drivers material to this case. Do not require every diligence stream for a narrow assignment.

For each consequential finding, record the claim, source and period, test performed, result, limitation, and decision implication. Preserve conflicts between management accounts, presentations, contracts, and customer records. Reconcile dates, entities, definitions, and populations before selecting or combining figures. Source agreement is meaningful only if the evidence is sufficiently independent.

Use commercial and operational diligence for customers, market, management, technology, vendors, and operating feasibility. Use financial diligence and integration for QoE, working capital, cash conversion, deal adjustments, synergies, and Day 1 readiness.

Translate findings into the decision

Distinguish a deal killer or unacceptable operating exposure, a condition to clear before commitment, an adjustment to price or terms, and an issue that can be managed after commitment. An unquantified risk can still determine the choice. Do not discard a finding because it cannot yet be converted into a dollar amount.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
