Structured Six-Week Framework for CDD Process


This PPT slide, part of the 63-slide Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured six-week approach to the Commercial Due Diligence (CDD) process, detailing specific activities and expected outputs at each stage. It begins with a preparation phase, where foundational tasks such as writing an information request and staffing experts are emphasized. This initial phase is crucial for setting the stage for subsequent activities, ensuring that the team is aligned and equipped with the necessary resources.

During Weeks 1-2, the focus shifts to gathering initial insights through interviews and targeted research. This period is about collecting qualitative data from clients and experts, which informs the overall understanding of the market and the specific investment opportunity. The output here includes an issue tree and a preliminary list of key issues that need addressing.

Weeks 3-4 are dedicated to an interim review, where the team conducts further interviews and plant visits. This stage is about validating earlier findings and refining the EBITDA model. The output includes a draft final pack, which serves as a critical checkpoint to ensure all assumptions are being tested and validated.

The final weeks, Weeks 4-6, culminate in the investment committee phase. This involves final interviews and the development of both upside and downside scenarios for key assumptions. The output is a comprehensive final pack that consolidates all findings, interview notes, and agreements with bankers.

This structured approach ensures that every aspect of the CDD process is methodically addressed, providing potential customers with a clear roadmap for effective decision-making. The detailed breakdown of activities and outputs offers insights into how to navigate complex investment evaluations efficiently.
