# CIM Teardown

## When to use

Use this skill after you have received a full CIM from a sell-side advisor and before you have convened the internal deal team for the first time. The teardown converts a 60-120 page marketing document into a structured analytical brief: what is the seller claiming, what is verifiable, what is optimistic, and what must be stress-tested in diligence. It is the starting document for your DDQ and your diligence architecture.

## What it does

Produces a CIM teardown memo covering: deal overview, stated investment thesis (in the seller's own terms), business model decomposition, financial analysis with EBITDA bridge reconstruction, management claim tracker, identified risks, and an ordered list of diligence priorities. The output is designed to be shared directly with deal team members as their briefing document for management meetings and workstream kickoffs.
