See Where the Deal Works, Where It Breaks and What Must Be Verified.

DealScreen adds financing sensitivity, downside cases, market context and source-linked risk screening to the seller's listing claims.

Before you spend heavily on diligence

Test Whether the Deal Still Works When the Assumptions Change.

DealScreen is the paid decision layer between an initial listing review and document-level diligence. It shows the financing pressure, downside exposure, market context and unanswered questions that should shape your next move.

DealScreen is forA listing can look affordable under one optimistic set of assumptions. Buyers need to see which economics, market conditions and unresolved records could change the decision.

Illustrative finding

What a DealScreen Conclusion Can Clarify

Base-case debt coverage is workable, but a 20% earnings decline reduces the cushion below the buyer's target. Proceed only with document access and a price or equity structure that survives the downside case.

This example demonstrates the form of the decision support. Your result depends on the opportunity, inputs, applicable sources and visible coverage limitations.

Coverage Is Labeled, Not Implied

Every source is classified by what actually happened in the report. Automated, guided, partial, planned, unavailable and not-applicable coverage are not interchangeable.

Automated and active

The application can query or use these sources when the target and required identifiers are applicable.

Examples: Census ACS and County Business Patterns, SBA 7(a) and 504 historical comparables, BLS QCEW, USAspending, EPA ECHO, CFPB complaints and enforcement, FEMA OpenFEMA, CMS NPI, CPSC recalls, FDA enforcement.

Automated with limitations

The connector exists, but identifiers, configuration, source matching, data lag or API availability can limit a specific report.

Examples: FMCSA carrier data, Census and industry geographic matching, State packages for California, Texas and Florida, Source-version refresh workflows.

Guided or manual

The report identifies the correct official route and required evidence, but a person must complete or review the search.

Examples: USPTO ownership and assignments, OSHA and Department of Labor, PACER and state courts, Secretary of State, UCC and licensing workflows, Property-specific flood certification.

Partial

Some relevant coverage exists, but the complete module or production data activation is not available enough to market as a finished benefit.

Examples: SAM.gov exclusions and responsibility data, OFAC list automation, HHS OIG and Medicare provider reconciliation, Disaster exposure beyond current FEMA context, Automated document scanning and extraction.

Planned or unavailable

These are roadmap items and are not sold as current report capabilities.

Examples: NOAA hazard expansion, SBA certification expansion, FDIC and FFIEC CRA local-capital integration, Section 1071 Outlook.

Limitations

  • Historical SBA data does not predict approval
  • Census and BLS describe markets, not the target company
  • Guided sources are not represented as automated searches
  • DealScreen does not reconcile seller documents

DealScreen supports an acquisition decision. It is not an appraisal, audit, quality-of-earnings opinion, legal opinion, accounting review, lending decision or recommendation to buy.
