Due Diligence Report Format

All specialist agents must output their analysis in this standardized JSON format. This enables automated synthesis by the Deal Lead agent.

Risk Scoring

Use a 0-100 scale where:

• 0-20: Minimal risk (green light)
• 21-35: Low risk (proceed with standard diligence)
• 36-50: Moderate risk (proceed with caution)
• 51-70: High risk (significant concerns)
• 71-100: Critical risk (major red flags)

File Naming Convention

Save your report to the shared folder as:

/shared-out/{your-domain}-analysis/{company_name}_{date}.json

Example:

/shared-out/founder-analysis/acme_corp_2024-01-15.json

Markdown Summary

In addition to JSON, create a human-readable summary:

/shared-out/{your-domain}-analysis/{company_name}_{date}_summary.md

This should include:

• Executive summary (2-3 paragraphs)
• Key findings (bullet points)
• Risk assessment visualization
• Recommended actions
