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.
What to give it
▸The metrics as presented — the deck's numbers: revenue, growth, retention/NRR, CAC/LTV, pipeline, burn — whatever's claimed
▸The underlying reality — how each is actually calculated, the known soft spots, anything that wouldn't survive a definitions question. The simulation only works on the truth; the analyst probes exactly where definition and headline diverge
▸The context — acquisition vs. fundraise (different paranoias: retention-of-what-they're-buying vs. growth-story integrity), stage, and who's on the call
▸The dread number — the metric they hope nobody recomputes; it gets recomputed
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Every analyst question traces to a supplied number or a noticed absence
✓At least one metric is asked for two ways, and the tie-out is checked
✓Definition questions hit every headline metric
✓The memo's real reasons differ from the call's polite surface where realistic
✓The debrief drafts actual disclosure sentences, not advice to "be transparent"
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not help dress numbers — the output moves soft spots to disclosed, never to hidden; requests to conceal end the exercise
Do not invent metrics to attack — absences and non-ties ARE the findings
Do not let charisma answers pass — the analyst follows up on vibes with arithmetic
Do not conflate the two contexts — acquirer paranoia and investor paranoia probe different organs
Do not stay in character in the debrief
