THE CARD AS TEXT · FOR EYES AND FOR MACHINES
THE COMMERCIAL DILIGENCE CARD · the market-truth seat — structures customer research into the diligence report a buyer trusts
WAKES WHEN a buyer needs commercial due diligence on a target company before a deal · a person asks 'commercial diligence', 'is the market real', 'why do customers buy or leave' · customer-interview findings need structuring into a report
THE LOOP
frame · the diligence questions: market size, growth, customer need, win/loss, retention
gather · structure the customer-interview and market inputs the person collects, by theme
synthesize · the findings into a report: what's real, what's at risk, what's unknown
flag · the commercial red and green flags that bear on the deal, each traced to evidence
NEVER
Invents customer quotes, interviews, or market data — it structures what the person gathered
Gives investment advice or tells anyone to buy, sell, invest in, or price a deal
Promises, guarantees, or projects a certain return — outputs are assumptions, not outcomes
Presents an invented number as real — unknown inputs are marked [FILL] for the person's own data
IT MAKES run — structures interview + market inputs into a themed diligence report, flags gaps; selftest — 12 checks that prove the machine.
THE LAW A card builds and checks the deal artifact — the model, the memo, the analysis. It never gives investment advice, never promises or projects a guaranteed return, never presents an invented number as real, never drafts a real securities offer, and never replaces the judgment, relationships, and diligence a deal needs. The person and their licensed advisors own every number and every decision.

What it is.
Structures customer research into the diligence report a buyer trusts. Use when a buyer needs commercial due diligence on a target company before a deal. Not for deal advice or promised returns. For the deal-killers it surfaces → THE RED FLAG CARD.
It carries a machine that shows its working: run — structures interview + market inputs into a themed diligence report, flags gaps; selftest — 12 checks that prove the machine — 12 checks in its selftest, run in the open below. It never invents customer quotes, interviews, or market data — it structures what the person gathered; never gives investment advice or tells anyone to buy, sell, invest in, or price a deal; never promises, guarantees, or projects a certain return — outputs are assumptions, not outcomes; never presents an invented number as real — unknown inputs are marked [FILL] for the person's own data.
The house law, written into the card.
It is in the card itself, so the AI follows it.
THE HOUSE LAW · THE DEAL ROOMA card builds and checks the deal artifact — the model, the memo, the analysis. It never gives investment advice, never promises or projects a guaranteed return, never presents an invented number as real, never drafts a real securities offer, and never replaces the judgment, relationships, and diligence a deal needs. The person and their licensed advisors own every number and every decision.
THE LIMIT, ON THE TINIt structures and synthesizes the evidence you gather; it cannot conduct the interviews or verify a claim. The actual research, and the judgment on it, are human work.
The method.
Frame. The diligence questions: market size, growth, customer need, win/loss, retention.
Gather. Structure the customer-interview and market inputs the person collects, by theme.
Synthesize. The findings into a report: what's real, what's at risk, what's unknown.
Flag. The commercial red and green flags that bear on the deal, each traced to evidence.
What it does once your AI has it.

What it will never do.
It never invents customer quotes, interviews, or market data — it structures what the person gathered; never gives investment advice or tells anyone to buy, sell, invest in, or price a deal; never promises, guarantees, or projects a certain return — outputs are assumptions, not outcomes; never presents an invented number as real — unknown inputs are marked [FILL] for the person's own data.
Where it hands off: The deal-killers it surfaces → THE RED FLAG CARD. The market size behind it → THE MARKET SIZE CARD (THE EXCHANGE).
It is an AI reading a text file: it can be wrong, so check what matters against your own records and the source. The holder brings their own AI; no endorsement by Anthropic or any other AI company is claimed. Names of other companies and standards are used only to say what the card works with.

In Claude: turn on code execution under Settings › Capabilities, then Customize › Skills › + › Create skill, and upload the zip as it is — START-HERE.md in the box walks you through it, and tells you how to keep the ledger. In ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest: a Project, a GPT or a Gem with the card’s files attached and the short door in the box pasted as its instructions.

Sold as is under the term printed. A card instructs an AI you operate; results depend on your model, your files and your judgement. Not medical, legal, tax or financial advice, never the person’s boss, and not a licence to practise. Not investment advice, not an appraisal and not an offer to sell securities. The terms →
One payment. The file is yours to keep and keeps working at its edition; new editions issued in the year after you buy reach you by email as replacement files. Tax is added at checkout where it applies. Nothing auto-renews.
AFTER YOU PAY · SIGN IN WITH THE EMAIL YOU PAID WITH · THE CARD OPENS ON MY CARDS → · CHECKED AGAINST ITS FINGERPRINT · NOTHING TO WAIT FOR
A TERM, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION: NOTHING RENEWS ITSELF AND NOBODY IS CHARGED AGAIN. WHEN A TERM ENDS THE FILES STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER AND STAY READABLE — FREEZE, NOT LOSS.

QUESTIONS AT THE TABLE
Asked before the wire.
What does it need from me?
Your own files and figures, on your own disk. It starts by asking for them: the diligence questions: market size, growth, customer need, win/loss, retention. If something it needs is missing, it marks it and says so — it never fills a gap with a guess.
Does it send anything anywhere?
No. The machine is a standard-library Python program that runs on your own computer and sends nothing anywhere; the words run wherever an AI reads Markdown. No server, no account, no key.
What is on the record?
The machine's selftest (12/12), run from inside the packet in Claude on 2026-10-20 on the studio's own example inputs and printed below as it ran; the twelve-check audit (AUDIT.md, 12/12); MANIFEST.md with every file hashed. RUN.md in the box is that run, dated. Still to come, as the next receipt: the card's test prompts asked in fresh chats with the card installed. The punch on the face is the SHA-256 of SKILL.md, so a downloaded copy can be checked against this room.
Can it be wrong?
Yes — it is an AI reading a text file: it can be wrong and can invent a number, a rule, a name or a date; check what matters against your own records and the source; the risk is yours. It structures and synthesizes the evidence you gather; it cannot conduct the interviews or verify a claim. The actual research, and the judgment on it, are human work.
What will it never do?
It never invents customer quotes, interviews, or market data — it structures what the person gathered; never gives investment advice or tells anyone to buy, sell, invest in, or price a deal; never promises, guarantees, or projects a certain return — outputs are assumptions, not outcomes; never presents an invented number as real — unknown inputs are marked [FILL] for the person's own data.
