Advanced Due Diligence

Custom product DD for bigger cheques and bigger downside.



For $500k+ game investment decisions where product, metrics, team, roadmap, monetization, and execution risk need a deeper read.
We scope the work around the actual deal: materials, timeline, stakeholders, expert needs, and how deep we need to go before money moves.
When to use Advanced DD
Use this format when the decision is too large, too complex, or too risky for a focused review.

  • $500k+ cheque on the table

    The deal is large enough for deeper product, market, team, and execution verification to matter.
  • Live or soft-launch product
    The product already has real players, metrics, monetization, content, or UA history that needs a proper read.
  • Metrics that need a real read
    The case includes retention, playtime, payer behavior, LTV assumptions, UA history, soft-launch data, or forecast logic that can change the decision.
  • Economy and monetization depth
    The product depends on progression, content depth, live ops, payer motivation, economy balance, or monetization systems that need deeper analysis.
  • Team and execution risk
    The pitch depends on team capacity, hiring plans, production speed, roadmap delivery, or a founder story that needs to be checked against reality.
  • Experts or on-site work
    The case may require external experts, specialist reviews, founder calls, stakeholder interviews, studio sessions, or on-site work.
How It Works
Initial request and confidentiality
You send the high-level deal context. We sign an NDA before sensitive materials, metrics, contracts, or internal documents are shared.
Scoping call
We define the decision you need to make, the available materials, stakeholders, timeline, depth of review, and whether external experts or on-site work are required.
Custom DD proposal
I prepare a custom scope: workstreams, timeline, deliverables, required materials, expert involvement if needed, and price.
Materials and deep review
You share the agreed materials: pitch, build, metrics, roadmap, economy data, UA history, retention, monetization, team plan, production plan, or live ops materials.
Interviews and/or expert work if needed
If the scope requires it, we add founder calls, stakeholder interviews, expert reviews, team sessions, or on-site work.
DD output and review session
You receive a written DD output and a review session focused on product risk, investment implications, verification gaps, and recommended next step.
Output
A custom DD output built around the actual investment decision.

It can be a written report, IC-ready summary, product-risk memo, stakeholder review, expert notes, or a combination of those - depending on the scope.
The goal is a clear product-side view of the opportunity, the risks, the missing proof, and the next decision.
  • Executive summary
    Short conclusion for decision-makers: what was reviewed, what holds, what breaks, and what it means for the deal.
  • Product assessment
    Deep read on product quality, hook, audience fit, onboarding, core loop, progression, content, creative potential, and marketability.
  • Metrics and monetization review
    Analysis of retention, playtime, payer behavior, ARPDAU / ARPPU logic, LTV assumptions, UA history, soft-launch data, and monetization depth where available.
  • Team and execution assessment
    Review of team structure, production capacity, roadmap realism, hiring assumptions, delivery risks, and whether the team can actually build what the deal assumes.
  • Key risks & verification gaps
    The points that can change the investment decision: missing proof, weak assumptions, unclear data, execution gaps, marketability risks, or scale constraints.
  • Decision options
    Clear recommendation: move forward, renegotiate, request proof, run another validation step, go deeper, reject, or stop-loss.
Pricing
Starts from €15,000
Advanced Due Diligence is scoped individually because the work depends on deal size, product stage, data depth, expert involvement, timeline, and whether on-site work is needed.

For larger cheques, surface-level review is expensive confidence.

Bring the deal. We define the risk, scope the work, and go deep enough to support the decision before capital moves.
