: Working with you
DataDiligence is a contemporary consulting firm; addressing contemporary business challenges relating to 'all things data'.
We support clients across the entire data value chain, particularly investors and executives seeking investment thesis validation and/or valuation during the transaction assessment phase. These services often happen in conjunction with a traditional commercial due diligence and then migrate into longer-term engagements in the value creation phase into realisation.
