For Corporate Acquirers

An Independent Second Opinion on Every Acquisition

The M&A Report ($25,000 per target) is an independent read of the public record alongside banker- and target-supplied materials, covering clinical adoption, manufacturing integration, regulatory alignment and IP, reviewed by a physician and a biomedical engineer. Factual claims are cited to their sources.

Review on full reports

Technology Fit

Does the platform roadmap align with target capabilities? The report reads the target's technical record so fit questions are on the table early.

Manufacturing Integration

Quality, scale, and supplier consolidation questions, read from recalls, FDA records and supplied materials.

Regulatory Alignment

FDA pathway and compliance record. A misread regulatory position can add months and material cost after close.

IP Portfolio Strength

Patent scope, assignees, and freedom-to-operate questions to raise with counsel.

Commercial Synergy

Reimbursement alignment and customer overlap, read against comparable companies from a substrate of 3,900+ biomedical companies.

Clinical Workflow Compatibility

Will clinicians adopt the integrated solution? Workflow disruption is a post-close risk a technical review can miss.

What's at Stake?

A missed clinical or technical question can cost far more after close than the diligence that would have surfaced it.

How we'd diligence a target

Three acquisition risks — read against public outcomes

We'd rather show you the framework run on cases your corp-dev team already knows than ask you to trust an unnamed testimonial. Each card is a public retrospective and the questions the public record raised.

See all public retrospectives → Start an M&A Report — $25,000

These are public retrospectives, not client engagements. They let buyers see the framework before signing.

For Acquirers Evaluating Several Targets

If you evaluate several targets a year, we can scope M&A Reports across your pipeline. Every report is independent of deal parties, cited to its sources and drawn from our proprietary multi-source substrate.
