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 β€” such as contradictory financial projections, unsupported market size claims, and mismatched team credentials β€” that traditional review processes miss.
