Service 01

Service 02 · Flagship
Red Flag Audit (RFA)
Best for: comprehensive risk assessment before deeper investment or acquisition discussions.
The RFA is our flagship service. It gives you everything you need to make an informed go/no-go decision on a potential acquisition target. In 3 days, you'll know the key risks that would take weeks to identify on your own.
The RFA process
Day 1 — Intelligence Gathering
We pull data from our proprietary database, CB Insights, AlphaSense, PubMed, USPTO, and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify initial risk hypotheses.
Day 2 — Hypothesis Validation
We verify each risk signal with independent evidence and identify cross-pillar correlations.
Day 3 — Synthesis & Delivery
We draft the report, conduct four-eyes peer review, and deliver by 5 PM with a debrief call.
What's included
- Full 4-Pillar Analysis (Technical, Financial, Operational, Legal)
- Cross-pillar correlation and compounding risk identification
- 5-level risk matrix with rationales
- 10–15 specific risk signals with source documentation
- Executive summary and actionable CTA
- 60-minute debrief call
Service 03
Deep Due Diligence (DDD)
Best for: serious acquirers preparing for LOI who need comprehensive, verifiable due diligence.
The DDD is for acquirers who are serious about moving forward. It provides not just risk identification but a practical roadmap for integration—including estimated costs, timelines, and specific pre-LOI validations. This is the level of depth that acquisition committees require to sign off.
The DDD process
Days 1–4 — Foundation & Deep Dive
Intelligence download, parallel pillar deep dives, and cross-pillar war room to identify 3–5 critical, interconnected themes.
Days 5–7 — Validation & Integration
Hypothesis testing, expert outreach, and detailed integration risk modeling with cost and timeline estimates.
Days 8–10 — Synthesis & Delivery
Report drafting, peer review, final polish, and executive debrief.
What's included
- All RFA deliverables (4-Pillar Analysis, cross-correlation, risk matrix)
- Integration risk modeling with cost and timeline estimates
- Expert outreach and validation
- Hypothesis disproof and worst-case scenario analysis
- Post-close integration roadmap (90-day and 12-month)
- Data confidence scoring per pillar
- 90-minute executive debrief and Q&A session

Case Study
What Our Clients Discover
Client: A top-tier VC firm evaluating a Series B AI drug discovery company.
Challenge: The company had impressive technical claims but limited public data on financials and operations.
ValeBorne RFA: Our analysis revealed (a) the company's burn rate was 40% higher than implied by their funding history, (b) the CTO was listed as "Founder" with no functional title—a key person dependency risk, and (c) their patent portfolio had a 14-month cliff on their core patent.
Outcome: The client negotiated a 30% lower valuation based on identified risks and structured earnouts tied to key person retention. Estimated savings: $12M.
