Competitive analysis collects product reality rather than marketing copy, funding and investor history, public traction metrics, distribution and pricing clues, and positioning gaps. Findings are translated into strengths, weaknesses, and a decision-oriented recommendation.

Market sizing combines top-down estimates from reports or public datasets with bottom-up sanity checks based on realistic customer acquisition assumptions. Every leap in logic requires an explicit assumption, and estimates are labeled as such.

Fund diligence covers fund size, stage, typical check size, relevant portfolio companies, public thesis, recent activity, fit assessment, and red flags. The output separates fact from inference and ends with a clear recommendation.

Yes, every important claim requires a source, and numbers are either sourced or explicitly labeled as estimates. Stale data is flagged, and the report ends with a dedicated sources section.

It is not suited for questions answerable only through primary data you do not have, such as private company revenue or unpublished metrics. In those cases, findings are labeled as inference and direct surveys or interviews are more reliable.
