What It Does
The VC Deal Analysis module reviews Series A through Series C pitch decks using an adversarial 8-stage pipeline built on Anthropic's Claude AI. It extracts 40-65+ claims per deal, cross-references them against 15+ data sources, verifies founder credentials, validates financial projections against market benchmarks, and produces 6 IC-ready reports in 35 minutes. The platform analyses pitch decks in 100+ languages and builds institutional intelligence — every deal adds to your organisation's permanent knowledge base.
Who Uses It
VC partners evaluating deal flow, hedge fund managers with venture allocations, family office CIOs screening co-investment opportunities, and fund administrators conducting operational due diligence on behalf of LPs.
How It Works
Upload
PDF or PowerPoint. The system accepts pitch decks, information memoranda, project documents, and financial models in 100+ languages.
Extract
Document content is extracted in approximately 5 seconds — text, tables, charts, metadata, and embedded images via OCR.
Claim extraction
The system identifies every verifiable claim in the document — typically 40-65+ claims per deal. Revenue figures, market size, team credentials, partnership claims, regulatory assertions.
Country risk assessment
Live data from IMF WEO, World Bank WGI, and Transparency International for 50 countries. Composite risk scores across 5 pillars: economic, governance, corruption, external, and stability.
Feasibility analysis
Technical, financial, and regulatory feasibility assessment. DSCR, IRR, NPV calculations. Reference class forecasting to benchmark claims against comparable projects.
Cross-reference verification
Every claim is checked against 15+ data sources: SEC EDGAR, company registries, financial databases, web search, Wayback Machine. Premium integrations available: Bloomberg, Moody's, S&P Capital IQ, Refinitiv, PitchBook, Preqin, Orbis, CB Insights.
Background checks
All principals and key personnel verified against public records, corporate registries, sanctions lists, and prior company histories.
Report generation
6 IC-ready reports produced in 35 minutes: Decision Memo, Claim Verification Report, Feasibility Assessment, Stage Gate Report, Claim Integrity Delta, One-Page Deal Summary.

What Makes It Different
DiligenceWorks is AI-native — built on Anthropic's Claude AI from the ground up. It is not a chatbot connected to a folder, not an MCP integration attached to a database, and not an AI summarisation tool. The adversarial 8-stage pipeline extracts every claim, cross-references against independent sources, and has identified material misrepresentations — including fabricated customer logos, impossible unit economics, inflated TAM figures, and unverifiable founder credentials — that traditional review consistently misses. Every deal builds institutional intelligence: Deal 500 is analysed with the context of the previous 499.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pitch decks can DiligenceWorks analyse?
Series A through Series C venture capital pitch decks. The module handles PDF, PowerPoint, and Google Slides formats. It extracts text, tables, charts, and metadata for cross-reference analysis.
How is adversarial analysis different from AI summarisation?
AI summarisation tools condense pitch deck content. Adversarial analysis actively looks for contradictions, unsupported claims, and inconsistencies. It treats every claim as unverified and attempts to disprove it using other data points in the deck and external sources.
How long does a VC deal analysis take?
Typical analysis completes within minutes for the automated cross-reference pass. The resulting report and investment committee memo are ready for human review immediately.
Is this just a chatbot connected to my documents?
No. DiligenceWorks is not a chatbot, not an MCP connector attached to a folder, and not a generic AI wrapper. It is a purpose-built 8-stage adversarial analysis pipeline that cross-references every claim against 15+ independent data sources and produces 6 structured IC-ready reports per deal.
What languages can VC pitch decks be analysed in?
100+ languages, powered by Claude AI. The platform can analyse a pitch deck in Japanese, French, Arabic, or any written language and produce the report in your preferred language.
Does DiligenceWorks track deals beyond initial screening?
Yes. The platform covers the full deal lifecycle: pre-financing screening (initial pitch deck review), financing due diligence (deep analysis), and post-capital deployment monitoring (tracking performance against original claims). It also performs longitudinal tracking — automatically comparing submissions across funding rounds to detect narrative drift.
What data sources does the platform integrate with?
Built-in: IMF WEO, World Bank WGI, Transparency International, FATF Grey/Black List, SEC EDGAR, Wayback Machine, web search. Premium integrations (client-licensed): Bloomberg, Moody's, S&P Capital IQ, Refinitiv, PitchBook, Preqin, Orbis, CB Insights.
