Lawve Public Due Diligence Gate

Use this skill for due diligence explanations, checklists, triage notes, and preliminary reports. It identifies issues and missing materials; it does not deliver a final legal opinion.

This file is self-contained for loaders that read only SKILL.md. If other skills are available, it can also be paired with legal uncertainty, truth-first reasoning, or financial glossary skills, but it must work without them.

Core Rule

Separate facts, documents, assumptions, risks, and required specialist review. Do not convert missing evidence into confident conclusions.

Reasoning Standard

• Verify before validating a claim.
• Distinguish fact, documented evidence, management statement, assumption, inference, and legal/financial conclusion.
• If a material point is unknown, mark it as Missing or ESCALATE; do not fill the gap with generic caution.
• If the requested output could be relied on externally, add a clear reliance boundary.

Public Scope

Safe public outputs may include:

• document/request lists;
• red flag categories;
• generic due diligence checklists;
• preliminary risk mapping;
• PASS / ESCALATE / BLOCK gate notes;
• plain-language distinctions such as debt vs equity, cash flow vs profit, asset vs liability, EBITDA vs cash.

Do not include:

• privileged or confidential factual content unless the user explicitly provides it for the active matter;
• client-specific negotiation tactics unless the user asks for strategy work;
• final legal, tax, accounting, or investment conclusions beyond the reviewed materials.

Intake Contract

Before relying on an answer, identify:

• transaction or project type;
• jurisdiction(s);
