Read the work before you pay for it.
These are the actual deliverable formats — open them, print them, forward them to whoever decides with you. Identifying details are changed or withheld; the structure, the depth and the honesty are representative of what you'll receive — findings always depend on what the public trail holds.
Decision Memo — restaurant, Lisbon
The full two-page memo format on a realistic worked example: a €600k trespasse resting on an undisclosed lease. Verdict up top, the deal-defining risk, the survival conditions, the demand list, and the evidence appendix.
Practice memo — café, Lisbon district
A method-validation run on a real listing found in the wild (identifying details changed or withheld): a "turnkey café" whose trading history no public source could confirm — plus the local competitive context around it. Includes the honest "couldn't check" flags.
Quick Scan — workshop, Barcelona area
The €99 format in both input states. Anonymous: a real broker-anonymised listing — 2 pass · 5 flags · 5 blocked with the reasons. Identified (exact address supplied): all 12 tripwires run — on the same illustrative café-bar as the €550 memo, so you can see exactly what each tier buys.
Reality Check — the structure, honestly redacted
Every section of the €950 memo — earnings reconstruction, cash-consistency review, price-sanity check, stress test — with every figure deliberately blacked out. A Reality Check is produced only from the seller's real documents; I never invent example numbers, so the specimen shows the structure, not a fantasy.
The other outcome: "No desk blocker found"
Not every screen ends in a warning. The full €550 memo format when every core public source resolves clean: a reasoned "move to independent verification" opinion — the source matrix, the evidence that did not produce a blocker, and the action plan for your lawyer and accountant. Not a certificate, not a recommendation to buy.
What to look for as you read
- The verdict comes first — you get the answer, then the evidence, never a 40-page maze.
- Green never means "safe". It means "no flag in the records I could see" — and the records I could see are listed, with dates.
- The blind-spot box is the point. What a desk screen cannot check is named out loud — that list is what you hand your lawyer.
- The demand list is your next move — the exact documents to require from the seller before any deposit.
Each sample below costs less than an hour of a local lawyer's time (€150–300) — and screens the deal before the €30,000–150,000 deposit decision.
