A diligence gap note is a structured summary of information, evidence, governance, legal, technical, financial, insurance, public authority, procurement, or operational questions that remain unresolved.
It does not mean formal due diligence has been conducted. It does not replace investor due diligence, lender due diligence, legal due diligence, technical due diligence, insurance underwriting, public finance review, procurement review, or regulatory review.
A diligence gap note may identify that a submission lacks clear ownership, legal structure, revenue assumptions, cost estimates, technical validation, public authority boundaries, risk controls, insurance information, environmental and social context, governance design, stakeholder clarity, or claims discipline.
The purpose is to help the submitter understand what a competent future reviewer may need to examine.
A safe label is:
Diligence Gap Note: This identifies unresolved questions for future review. It is not due diligence completion, investment advice, financing approval, endorsement, or certification.
A diligence gap note points to work still required. It does not approve the matter.
