Deal assessment

A review file, not a readiness score.

Organize facts, assumptions, gaps, risk observations, specialist questions, and output implications into a reviewable assessment record.

Assessment file

Separate evidence from interpretation

Every observation should show its source context, reviewer, limitation and downstream consequence.

Assessment path

Challenge before conclusion

The intended control is a transparent chain from source material to reviewer judgment.

  1. 01 / Normalize

    Frame the assessment

    Confirm the transaction question, source perimeter, reviewer roles, required dimensions and intended output.

    Exit: scope recorded

  2. 02 / Distinguish

    Separate facts and assumptions

    Mark accepted evidence, management assertions, estimates, conflicts, gaps and unverified external context.

    Exit: evidence classes visible

  3. 03 / Challenge

    Review material issues

    Assign diligence questions, financial reconciliations, risk observations and specialist dependencies.

    Exit: material items dispositioned

  4. 04 / Conclude

    Record output implications

    State what the evidence supports, what it does not support and who approved the conclusion.

    Exit: review conclusion signed off

Dimension set

A structured lens with explicit limits

Company and market

Identity, model, positioning, customer evidence and operating maturity.

Financial and capital

Period coverage, performance, forecasts, assumptions, structure and reconciliation.

Readiness and risk

Documents, governance, dependencies, open questions, specialists and output constraints.

Quality rule

Do not compress uncertainty into a number

A flat score can hide missing evidence and conflicting judgments. The assessment should retain the reason, source, reviewer and limitation.

Useful decision support makes uncertainty inspectable; it does not make the decision appear automatic.
