arrowMETHODOLOGY AND DELIVERABLES
Depending on the size of the company, we will typically undertake 2 to 4 days of interviews at the target company with management and other key figures.

Following a short period of research and report-writing, the deliverable to the investor will be a due-diligence report and verbal presentation assessing the adequacy of the business plan, the current management team and the realistic potential of the market opportunity.

Optionally, we can also provide a full technical due-diligence report on the company's product(s) and development process.
red arrowDUE DILIGENCE SERVICES FOR INVESTORS
Definitive Impact provides the specialist IT market knowledge to perform an in-depth due-diligence analysis on the presented business and market growth plans, as well as locate peer views on the quality of the management team.

We also possess the necessary technical knowledge to assess the capability and competitive differentiation of the promoted technology.

The questions we can provide answers for include:

red button How does the product or service offering stack up against the competition and what is the real threat or opportunity that competition represents?    In particular, we have the industry experience to objectively assess the competitive differentiators the company has, and to evaluate if they are sufficient to enable success.

When confronted with a go/no-go decision, only an experienced industry specialist can give you a realistic view on whether the company has a good chance of succeeding or not.
red button How important a component is the proprietary intellectual property (current and likely future IP) for the potential future valuation of the company?    We will also assess and highlight the extent to which the use of open-source code may impinge on this.

red button What is the real track-record of the management team?    Using our extensive range of contacts in the industry, we can quickly assemble a consolidated view of their previous history and capabilities.

red button What is the likelihood of success for the proposed products or services?    Definitive Impact has a detailed knowledge of successful (and unsuccessful) market introduction and growth strategies, as applied to country, European or global markets.

red button Does the technology actually work?    We can audit the quality of the technology and assess whether it performs as claimed.    As part of the technology audit, the functional capabilities, code management practices, production capabilities and quality assurance practices of the technology will be reviewed.
