What it does
When an investor initiates due diligence, they will scrutinize everything: financials, legal, tax, contracts, intellectual property, team. If anything is out of order, trust erodes and the deal can stall. This prompt prepares your startup for that scrutiny: what to organize in each area, which documents to have ready, what the most common red flags investors uncover are, and how to address them before they ask. Use it before launching any funding round, when an investor shows serious interest, or when you want to professionalize your startup's operations regardless of whether you're raising capital.
