## Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is DDR?
A: DDR (Due Diligence Reports) is an automated startup investment screening platform. It generates institutional-grade due diligence reports from startup pitch deck PDFs using AI and OSINT signals from 13 sources.

Q: How much does a DDR report cost?
A: A free preview scan is included on registration. Professional full reports cost $59 each. Packs of 5 cost $249 ($49/report) and packs of 15 cost $699 ($46/report). Credits never expire.

Q: What is the startup due diligence process?
A: Professional startup due diligence involves 8 stages: (1) initial screen of the pitch deck, (2) founder background verification, (3) digital footprint analysis (GitHub, domain, web archive), (4) market validation, (5) traction verification, (6) financial review, (7) legal and structural review, (8) reference checks and final decision. DDR automates stages 2–5.

Q: What are common red flags in startup pitch decks?
A: The most common red flags are: missing competition slide, unrealistic TAM (top-down "1% of a $1T market"), no revenue traction at Series A stage, founder résumé gaps, domain registered too recently before the pitch, GitHub with no commits for a tech company, and circular market sizing methodology.

Q: What should investors look for in a pitch deck?
A: Investors should evaluate: (1) problem definition with evidence, (2) clear solution statement, (3) sourced market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM with citations), (4) team domain expertise and track record, (5) real traction evidence (revenue/LOIs, not vanity metrics), (6) honest competitive landscape, (7) clear business model, (8) assumption-backed financial projections, (9) specific use of funds, (10) justified ask and valuation.

Q: How does VC due diligence differ from angel due diligence?
A: VC due diligence is more intensive: typically 4–12 weeks vs. 1–3 weeks for angels. VCs conduct formal legal review by external counsel, 5–10+ reference calls, full financial audits at Series A+, and formal investment committee approval. Angels often rely on faster self-conducted research — which tools like DDR can automate.

Q: What OSINT sources does DDR use?
A: DDR analyzes 13 signal sources: Google Search, GitHub repository activity, domain WHOIS records, DNS configuration, web archive history (Wayback Machine), USPTO trademark filings, hiring pattern signals from job boards, news coverage, Google News RSS, press mentions, and a proprietary database of 1.2M+ startup outcomes for benchmarking.
