Pre-Deal Sanity Check
Confidential Pre-transaction Assessment
A confidential, independent pre-deal assessment designed to test whether a proposed buy / sell / charter opportunity is fundamentally sound before time, deposits, or emotions are committed.
What This Is
A confidential, independent pre-transaction assessment to test deal logic, market reality, and execution risk before deposits, inspections, or momentum take over. This is decision protection, not deal promotion.
