## The most accurate & efficient web search for due diligence

We asked Opus 5.5 hard diligence questions about companies: funding, leadership, litigation, financials and reputation. It ran once with each web search provider, and every answer was checked against a hand-verified ground truth. We tracked accuracy and the total cost of getting there, including search fees and tokens.

## What you get

A first-pass due diligence memo on one company, researched on the live web. It covers the business, traction, team, funding, financial signals, legal and regulatory issues, reputation and red flags, and ends with a short verdict. Every claim has a date and a source, each finding carries a confidence grade, and fields the agent couldn't source are listed as missing instead of guessed.

## Modes

The demo opens with a snapshot of the company, then researches the sections for the role you pick.

| Mode | For | Sections | Snapshot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venture investment | Private companies | Traction, Team & founders, Funding & cap table, Market & competitors, Red flags | ARR / revenue, growth, last round, valuation, lead investors, headcount, plus a bull case, a bear case and questions for the founders |
| Public equity research | Listed companies | Catalyst calendar, Results vs guidance, Insider & ownership moves, Legal & regulatory, News flow | Ticker, market cap, last quarter, guidance, next earnings, key catalyst, key risk |
| Private equity & M&A | Acquisition targets | Business quality, Customers & concentration, Management depth, Liabilities, Ownership & deal history | Revenue, profitability, growth, customer concentration, ownership, employees |
| Counterparty & compliance | Onboarding and KYB | Registry & entities, Officers & owners, Sanctions & PEP, Adverse media | Legal name, jurisdiction, registration, LEI |
| General due diligence | Any company | Financials, Leadership, Litigation, Reputation, Red flags, News, Market & competitors | Founded, headquarters, CEO, employees, total funding, latest valuation, ownership |

## Inputs

| Input | Required | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Company | Yes | Name and domain, for example Canva (canva.com) |
| Focus | No | Anything to check first, for example "focus on the AI cost story" |

## Run it yourself

The Nimble skill for this use case runs the Nimble agent template `due-diligence`: https://docs.nimbleway.com/skills/due-diligence/SKILL.md

- Create the agent once: `nimble_agents_create(template="due-diligence", agent_name="due-diligence")`
- Run it: `nimble_agents_run(agent_name="due-diligence", input="Write a due diligence memo on <Company> (<domain>). Focus on <focus>.", effort="medium")`
- Effort: the skill runs the template at medium effort (about 1-3 minutes), even when the template's own default is different. Ask for low, medium, high or x-high to run another.

One company per run. A focus line shifts depth, it does not remove sections.

## When to use it, and when not to

Use it for "due diligence on", "DD memo", "investment memo on", "red flags for" or "should we invest in" requests about a company.

- For a brief before a sales meeting, use Account Brief: https://www.nimbleway.com/demos/account-brief.md
- For whether a company can pay, use Credit Risk: https://www.nimbleway.com/demos/credit-risk.md
- For sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening of a counterparty, see KYC Screening: https://www.nimbleway.com/demos/kyc-screening.md
