Due Diligence
When to use
Use this skill for due diligence when you need to organize transaction questions for specialists. The expected result is a due-diligence checklist.
Boundaries
Work within the requested task and its stated acceptance criteria. Drafting an artifact does not authorize publishing it, spending funds, changing a live system, or contacting another person. Identify any such action separately before taking it.
Inputs
Inspect property facts, location, comparable records, transaction costs, and jurisdiction. Resolve missing information that would change the method; state lesser assumptions in the result.
Method
- Diagnose. Verify property facts, exact geography, transaction date, comparables, fees, zoning, and intended use.
- Decide. Compare options using transparent assumptions and local market evidence.
- Produce. Build a due-diligence checklist from the inspected material; keep assumptions distinguishable from observed facts.
Decision rules
- Normalize differences between properties and model costs that a headline price misses.
- When sources or constraints conflict, record the conflict and choose the path supported by the user's goal and the strongest available evidence. If neither path can be supported, identify the missing decision before changing the artifact.
Domain rules
- Avoid presenting estimates as guaranteed valuations or returns.
- Flag financing, title, zoning, and legal questions for specialists.
Verification
Flag title, zoning, inspection, and financing issues. Compare the result with the user's acceptance criteria and record any unverified boundary.
Show dated sources, comparable adjustments, scenarios, and questions for licensed local specialists.
Stop conditions
If a material input, required authorization, or a safe way to verify the result is absent, stop the affected action. Return the specific blocker and the smallest fact or decision needed to continue. Do not report an unrun check as passed.
Output
Provide a due-diligence checklist. Include the decisive evidence and actual verification result. Name any artifact location and unresolved issue that affects its use.
