Due Intelligence by CtrlGround
Due Intelligence before undue stress, delay, surprises and losses.
Due diligence reads the paperwork. Due Intelligence also checks the ground: the business, the people, the site and the situation. So you pay, ship, hire or sign with your eyes open.

Ground Intelligence
We check the ground, not just the paperwork.
Records can be arranged. A working godown, a real office, a site that matches the brochure: those you have to go and see. Our ground network does, across India.
Raise a requestQuick self-check
Before your next deal, hire or investment, can you answer these?
Pick what you are about to commit to, then tick only what you could prove today.
Think of the customer, supplier or partner you are about to commit to. Tick only what you could prove today.
- Is the business legally active, and is it the same entity that will invoice you?
- Who really owns and runs it, and what happened to the other businesses they ran?
- Does it carry disputes, defaults or cheque-bounce cases with others?
- Do its premises exist, at the scale it claims?
- What do others in its market say about how it pays and delivers?
- If something goes wrong, what could you actually recover?
You are going on faith on all 6.Everything you cannot prove today is undue risk.
Think of the person you are about to hire, especially for a role that handles money, data or clients. Tick only what you could prove today.
- Is the candidate who their ID documents say they are?
- Do they live at the address they gave you?
- Are their degrees and certificates genuine, from the institutions named?
- Did they actually work at their last employers, in the roles and dates they claim?
- Why did they leave their last job, according to the employer rather than the candidate?
- Would their references still vouch for them if you called independently?
- Is there any dispute, case or complaint you should know about?
You are going on faith on all 7.Everything you cannot prove today is undue risk.
Think of the business, project or promoter you are about to put money into. Tick only what you could prove today.
- Have you verified the promoters' track record, including ventures that did not work out?
- Do the assets, premises and capacity in the pitch actually exist on the ground?
- Do the financials match what you would see if you visited the business?
- Are there loans, charges or guarantees against the business that are not in the deck?
- Is there pending litigation, or a regulatory issue waiting to surface?
- Are the licences and approvals in place, or only promised?
- Is the market demand real, or only in the projections?
- If it fails, what do you actually hold?
You are going on faith on all 8.Everything you cannot prove today is undue risk.

Investment checks
Before you rely on what you are told
An independent, on-ground view of a site, a dispute, a stalled project or a local issue.
Ground and situation
Before you build or expand
Market, location, costs and approvals, tested on the ground before you commit.
Feasibility and studies

Licences, permits, NOCs and subsidies, with every step tracked in your dashboard.
Approvals and compliance
When it is time to act
Vendors, site setup and teams on the ground, through to hand-over.
Setup and executionThe maths of skipping it
A check takes a minute. The undue takes months.
Every one of these was avoidable. That is what makes it undue.
The checkThe undue
A free report on a new buyer, requested in a minute.
Chasing a buyer who vanished with your stock: calls, notices, lawyers, months.
A site visit before you pay a supplier's advance.
Learning the factory does not exist, after the advance has cleared.
A background check before a finance hire joins.
An audit that finds out after they have left.
A situation assessment before you sign the lease.
A local dispute you inherit along with the keys.

Due diligence, upgraded
Due diligence checks the file. Due Intelligence checks the ground.
Same rigour, one more question: is it really what it says it is?
| Due diligence | Due Intelligence | |
|---|---|---|
| Looks at | What has been filed and declared | What is filed, and what is actually on the ground |
| Covers | Mostly companies | Businesses, people, sites, situations and ideas |
| Ends with | A file of documents | A clear picture, red flags, and what to do next |
| When it is done | Once, before a deal | Before you commit, and on the ground while you act |
