Engine.Assess
Miss less. Decide faster. Invest with confidence.
Engine.Assess gives VC and PE investors a structured, evidence-based view of a company's investability — covering strategy, business model, team, financials, and operating model. It tells you what is confirmed, what is assumed, and what still needs to be found out. Systematic assessment, not ad hoc due diligence.
Investment scorecard
Complete picture. Amplified judgement.
Engine.Assess takes all available inputs on a target company — pitch decks, financials, market data, prior investor materials — and builds a complete, structured picture of the deal from the inside out.
It then works alongside the investment team through the entire diligence process, amplifying their judgement rather than replacing it. The result: faster, more consistent, more thorough diligence — on every deal.

What it produces
Five outputs. One coherent view of the deal.
Tailored DD question set
Questions derived from the specific deal — not a generic checklist. Calibrated to the company's stage, sector, and the gaps your analysis has already surfaced.
Knowledge gap analysis
A clear map of what's missing, unclear, or inconsistent across the materials — so you know exactly where to probe before committing further time.
Investment risk register
Structured risk identification with proposed mitigations — across commercial, financial, operational, and team dimensions.
Criteria alignment report
A structured assessment of how the deal maps to your own investment thesis, sector focus, and stage criteria.
Draft investment paper
