## The Due Diligence Problem

Traditional due diligence is slow, expensive, and inconsistent. Teams spend weeks gathering information, often missing critical signals buried in vast amounts of data. The cost of a thorough investigation can exceed $100,000.

- 2-4 weeks for comprehensive company research
- $50,000-$150,000 per full due diligence
- Inconsistent quality across analysts
- Missed red flags in overwhelming data
