A company review may includes a tour of company facilities, interviews of its vendors, customers, lenders, and other stakeholders. This helps us get an insight into the company that one cannot get by just reviewing financial statements. Where possible, we corroborate the story, as detailed by management and the filings, with other research, such as testing the product, getting a disinterested third party’s opinion, or doing channel checks. Only a small number of Companies we investigate eventually pass this screening.
