What Due Diligence does

Due Diligence, Inc. is a US-based professional services firm that delivers decision support consulting for high-stakes, infrequent corporate decisions that fall outside routine operating playbooks. Founded around 1988 and headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, the firm is organized as a division of CrisisRisk Strategies, LLC. It has completed more than 1,000 engagements for over 400 clients spanning early-stage companies through Fortune 500 multinationals with valuations up to $10+ billion. The buyer base is enterprise in nature, comprising boards, C-level executives, private equity partners, attorneys, and investment bankers who engage the firm on matters including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, Directors and Officers risk mitigation, crisis response, technology and enterprise transformation, and other critical decisions.

The firm's core product is its proprietary "Next Generation Due Diligence™" methodology — a research-based, structured and systematic decision support framework built on 35+ years of financial and operational due diligence work, 25+ years of research into risk and transformation practices of Top Performing US Companies, and 20+ years of crisis management research and application. Underlying 'technology-enabled' components consist of decision frameworks, data and analytical templates, assessment tools, structured training modules, and a decision support architecture; these are tools for human advisors rather than autonomous AI systems. The methodology is sold as a productized engagement rather than as standalone software.

Commercially, Due Diligence operates an enterprise field sales motion with custom engagement-based pricing tied to project scope, complexity, and client size, typically contracted on a multi-year cadence. Multi-year contracts and senior practitioner staffing support premium pricing, while revenue is not publicly disclosed and there is no indication of external institutional or venture capital backing; ownership is held within the CrisisRisk umbrella. Go-to-market is primarily thought-leadership driven via the duediligenceinc.com website, a recent multi-part article series on business-unusual topics, and cross-promotion through the sister CrisisRisk.com crisis-management platform.
