Simulate the due-diligence call where an acquirer's or investor's analyst takes your metrics apart — the questions behind the spreadsheet, the moment a number wobbles, and a debrief on which answers create risk. Use when asked simulate due diligence on my startup, stress-test my metrics before the raise, what will the acquirer's analyst ask, or prep me for the DD call. Produces the call transcript with the analyst's private notes, the internal memo they write afterward, and a debrief separating fixable presentation from fix-the-business findings.

# The Due Diligence Call Skill

Founders present metrics; analysts reconcile them. The due-diligence call is where "150% net revenue retention" meets "walk me through the cohort math," and where numbers that were directionally fine become credibility problems because they don't tie to each other. This skill runs that call early — an analyst who has already read the data room, asking the questions the spreadsheet raised — then writes the internal memo and debriefs on the difference between numbers that need better presentation and numbers that need a better business. Honesty is structural: the exercise finds the wobbles so they can be *fixed or disclosed*, never dressed.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The transcript** — 12–18 exchanges, with the analyst's private note after each answer
- **The internal memo** — what the analyst tells their partner/corp-dev lead: proceed / proceed-with-reps / pass, with the real reasons
- **The debrief** — every wobble sorted: presentation-fixable / disclose-and-explain / fix-the-business

## Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:
- **The metrics as presented** — the deck's numbers: revenue, growth, retention/NRR, CAC/LTV, pipeline, burn — whatever's claimed
