Is DiligenceWorks available in Dubai?

Yes. DiligenceWorks provides self-hosted deployment with Dubai-resident data hosting. The platform is operated by DiligenceWorks Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-registered company (UEN 202622083N), serving fund managers across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

What is adversarial deal analysis?

Adversarial deal analysis is DiligenceWorks' methodology for evaluating investment deal decks. Every claim in a pitch deck or information memorandum is treated as unverified until independently cross-referenced against other data points in the document, public records, and market data. This approach has identified material inconsistencies — such as contradictory financial projections, unsupported market size claims, and mismatched team credentials — that traditional review processes miss.
