Cross-Reference Verification
The process of checking a claim against multiple independent data sources to assess its accuracy. In deal analysis, this means comparing revenue figures in a pitch deck against filed company accounts, checking market size claims against industry reports, and verifying founder credentials against public records.
Context
Cross-reference verification is the core mechanism of adversarial deal analysis. Rather than accepting claims at face value, every assertion is tested against other data points — both within the document (internal consistency) and against external sources.
