Why this exists.
Feed Inspector public information on each possible acquisition target. It scores every one of them on the same eight dimensions so you can compare them fairly.
A patchwork that breaks.
- A shared spreadsheet nobody opens on time
- Prompts copy-pasted into a chat window
- A contractor who disappears for two weeks
- Output that lands in a different shape every run
A workflow that ships.
- One brief, one cadence, one place to read it
- Every claim cited, every step reviewable
- A finished artifact in your team’s format
- Your deal team stops wasting hours on targets that were never going to work.
Four moves.
Inspector runs each move with a preview attached — so you know what lands before you ever hit send. Skip freely once you know which parts carry the weight.
- 01Kickoff
Paste each target's public information.
Inspector starts with the brief and asks only for what's missing. No boilerplate intake form, no setup meeting.

Sources are pulled, cleaned, and cross-checked against prior runs — every claim carries a citation you can trace.

Three prompts — a kickoff, a full run, and a packaging pass. Copy the one that matches the phase you're in. Rewrite any detail to fit your business.
You are Inspector. I want to screen acquisition targets — Feed Inspector public information on each possible acquisition target. It scores every one of them on the same eight dimensions so you can compare them fairly. My goal: Your deal team stops wasting hours on targets that were never going to work. Walk me through the first move and tell me what you need from me.
Run the full playbook end-to-end: Paste each target's public information. Inspector scores them on the same eight dimensions. Pick the top three to five. Run a deep analysis on those. Ask before skipping any step. Show work as you go.
Deliver the output as a single brief I can share with the team — lead with "Across the whole list", then the receipts. Call out anything that changed assumptions mid-run.
Inputs in, outputs out.
Inspector runs on the inputs on the left and hands back the artifacts on the right. Skip any input — the agent will ask for it the first time it needs it.
- One source of truth (CSV, CRM, or warehouse)
- A one-paragraph brief on the goal
- The KPI you want to move
- A scored, cited brief you can forward
- A structured file for downstream automation
- An alert when anything material changes
A finished artifact, not a todo list.
Every run ends the same way — a packaged brief in the channel your team already reads. Here's a preview of what shows up.
Here's the brief for this week. I ran the playbook end-to-end, flagged anything that shifted against last run, and packaged the output for Slack and the shared drive.
- Paste each target's public information.
- Inspector scores them on the same eight dimensions.
- Pick the top three to five.
- Run a deep analysis on those.
Where teams stall.
Three ways we see this go sideways — and how to avoid each one.
Pointing the agent at stale or half-connected data. Clean the source once, compound every run after.
Running it once and forgetting. Put it on a weekly cadence so the numbers actually move.
Skipping the first review. Check the first run by hand — trust compounds from there.
Before you start.
Usually one source is enough to see value. Inspector can run on a CSV paste for the first pass; connect the CRM, the data warehouse, or the tool of record once you want it to run on its own.
Most teams put this on a weekly cadence. That's the sweet spot between "too noisy to read" and "too stale to act on". Adjust once you see how the numbers behave.
Whoever owns the downstream action. Inspector hands back a finished result — the value is in somebody actually reading it and shipping the decision the same day.
It usually isn't. The first pass is calibration — tell Inspector what was off, rerun, and the second is close. By the fourth it reads like a teammate.
