Due Diligence
Read the PPM before the first meeting.
Drop the PPM, the DDQ and the prior fund reports into the workspace and FundFrame reads them. The terms, the track record and the team land as structured data with a page reference on every figure, and a preliminary analysis tells you where to look before you commit the team to full diligence. Everything your team already knew about the manager comes along from the Investment CRM.
Book DemoA pre-DD, before the full one.
Upload the materials you already have on a fund, PPM, DDQ, prior quarterlies, and a team of agent specialists coordinate to produce a structured first read. Each agent owns one diligence workflow. Strategy reads the PPM, Track Record triangulates prior returns, Team & Org maps tenure and attribution, Risk & Governance flags conflicts, Terms & Economics extracts fees and hurdles, References drafts the call sheet.
The pre-DD does not replace your normal diligence. It is the first read that tells you whether a fund is worth the full process, where to focus when you get there, and what to ask the GP on the next call.
Every agent is built from FundFrame's LP workflows and ships as a skill inside the Diligence module, with citations back to the source paragraph so the team can verify before acting.

Output
Pre-DD memo
Six stages, one record.
Every diligence runs the same path. Same template, same checkpoints, same audit trail, configurable to your team's evaluation criteria but never reinvented from scratch.
Initiate
When a GP advances in your pipeline, open a diligence workspace with one click. Context, documents, and meeting history travel from the CRM automatically.
Collect
Request and organize DDQs, PPMs, references, and legal documents. Track what is received, what is outstanding, and who owes what to whom.
Evaluate
Work through your standardized framework. Score risks, capture findings, and collaborate with the team on a single, versioned record.
Reference
Run the reference calls and background checks. Capture notes in context with the rest of the evaluation, not in a forgotten thread.
Decide
Generate the IC-ready output with findings organized and sources attached. Present a complete picture, not a deck assembled the night before.
Commit
Upon approval, the GP flows into Portfolio Monitoring with the full history intact. No data left behind, no context lost on the next re-up.
Spreadsheets and email threads, retired.
Most LPs still run diligence in spreadsheets, shared drives, and email threads. The result is a working file no one can find when the IC asks for it and a process that has to be invented again on every fund.
Diligence brings structure without adding bureaucracy. The team works in the place the decisions live, and the audit trail builds itself.
Consistent evaluation
Every GP scored against the same criteria. No more varying standards across team members, no more starting from a blank file.
Institutional memory
Prior evaluations inform the next. Re-ups inherit what was learned about the manager last time, including the questions you asked and how they answered.
Audit trail
A complete record of what was reviewed, by whom, and when. Support compliance, governance, and the regulator who asks for the working file.
Faster decisions
Structured beats ad-hoc, every time. The team spends the diligence budget on analysis and judgement, not on hunting documents and reformatting memos.
