Preliminary fund DD.
From weeks to hours.
DD Cockpit is our internal AI-augmented due-diligence platform — now opening to a small cohort of allocator partners. Cash-flow ingestion, LPA screening, tax memo drafting, and scorecard generation, collapsed from weeks of analyst work into hours of reviewable output.
Traditional DD
2–4 wks
