Commercial Due Diligence Services:

Expert Interviews

Outman Consulting delivers discreet, high-quality expert interviews to support CDD and wider strategic research. We recruit and engage hard-to-reach industry participants across multiple geographies – including operators, channel partners, customers and former executives – to validate market assumptions and uncover real-world buying dynamics. Our process combines rigorous screening, tailored discussion guides and rapid synthesis, providing clients with evidence-based insight they can use to sharpen investment theses, stress-test strategies and accelerate decision-making.

Customer & Channel Validation

Outman Consulting conducts structured customer and channel validation to confirm real-world demand, buying criteria and route-to-market viability as part of commercial due diligence. Through targeted outreach to customers, distributors, resellers and industry stakeholders, we test value propositions, pricing sensitivity, switching barriers and sales-cycle dynamics. Our evidence-based findings help clients validate the revenue thesis, identify go-to-market risks early and pinpoint practical levers for growth post-deal.

Market Sizing & Forecasting

Outman Consulting delivers robust market sizing and forecasting to support investment decisions with clear, defensible numbers. We build bottom-up and top-down models that quantify TAM/SAM/SOM, segment growth drivers, adoption constraints and competitive share dynamics across geographies and customer types. By triangulating secondary sources with primary inputs from expert interviews and market participants, we provide realistic scenarios and assumptions that stress-test the upside case and improve confidence in the investment narrative.
