The Verdict guarantee
- Useful, or your money back. If the report is not something you can act on, tell me within 7 days and I refund it in full.
- I stand behind the verdict. If I miss a material red flag that was publicly knowable when I wrote it, I refund you and tell you what I missed.
No forms, no argument. One name signs every report, and the refund is on me.
Scenario · acquisition
A search fund is a week from signing an LOI. The report surfaces that the target's largest customer is roughly 40% of revenue, disclosed nowhere in the seller's materials. The wire waits until the question is answered.
Scenario · backtest
An angel runs the free report against a deal they already closed. It independently surfaces the two risks their own memo caught, plus a supplier dependency it didn't. That delta is the product.
Illustrative scenarios, not client engagements. A real client quote replaces this block the day one exists.
A deliberate pace
A limited number of reports run at a time. The quality holds because the volume doesn't.
If your timeline is tight, take the Express tier, otherwise the queue is honest about when your report lands.
Questions
Straight answers.
What does a report cost?
Most engagements run $2,000 to $4,000, scoped to the complexity of the deal, and your exact flat quote arrives in writing within one business day. For calibration: a traditional quality-of-earnings engagement runs $20,000 to $30,000 and takes weeks. Verdict delivers in five days, or 48 hours on Express. And the launch offer stands: the first three requesters get their first report free.
How is this different from running the AI myself?
Structure, sourcing, and the discipline to look for what's wrong. A single prompt gives you a plausible summary. This researches each dimension separately, checks claims against sources, and is built to surface red flags rather than smooth them over. You get a citable artifact, not a paragraph.
What do you need from me?
The company name, its website, and the decision you're making. Optionally, the concerns you want prioritized and any documents you can share. Under two minutes.
How does an engagement run?
Send the company and the decision, about two minutes, no call. Within one business day you get a fixed quote with a committed delivery date. If you go ahead, payment is by Stripe link and the delivery date in your quote stands. The report lands as PDF, Word, the 1-page brief, and an IC memo, backed by the guarantee.
What if the company has almost no public footprint?
I check that before quoting. Scoping includes a feasibility read on how far the public record, plus anything you can share, will actually carry a verdict. If it cannot support a report worth paying for, I say so before you commit and decline the engagement. Registries, filings, court records, hiring signals, and the documents you provide often take a small company further than you expect.
How do you handle accuracy?
Every material claim is sourced or flagged as inference. The highest-stakes facts are checked by hand before a report ships. Where a signal is thin, the report says so rather than inventing confidence.
Does this replace my own diligence?
No, it does the week of structured research so your judgment goes to the decision. You walk into the management call already knowing what to ask.
Can I share the report with my client or co-investors?
Yes. The report is yours to share within your organisation and with the client, co-investors, or deal team the engagement was run for. Posting it publicly or reselling it as a standalone product needs written permission first.
Is my request confidential?
Yes. Deal flow is sensitive and I treat it that way. I never contact the target, never disclose who asked, and never publish or reuse client work. The published sample is my own demonstration piece, built entirely from public sources and produced on my own initiative. Anything you share, including documents, stays between us. If you prefer an NDA before naming the target, I will sign yours.
What if the report falls short?
Reply and say what's missing, and I'll go deeper on any section at no charge. And the Verdict guarantee stands: if it still is not something you can act on, tell me within 7 days for a full refund. The aim is a report you'd act on.
The commitment
One report, one name on it.
Have a company you're evaluating?
Pick a tier above and send it over. You'll have a quote and a confirmed delivery date within one business day, and the report by the end of the week, or in 48 hours on Express.
