Common questions

Understand how Dedale Advisory works, what we cover, and how quickly we can mobilize for your next mandate.

What types of mandates does Dedale Advisory handle?

From rapid triage and pipeline prioritization to Phase 0 pre-qualification, full commercial due diligence, voice of customer programmes, market mapping, portfolio support, and vendor due diligence. Scope is defined at the outset of each engagement based on your specific question and timeline.

How quickly can Dedale mobilize for a live deal?

Triage work and targeted expert interviews are typically delivered in days. Phase 0 engagements run 2 to 3 weeks. Full CDD programmes are delivered over 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope. We confirm availability and timeline at the start of every engagement.

Is Advisory exclusive, will you work with competing parties on the same deal?

Yes. Each advisory mandate is exclusive to the commissioning client. We do not work with competing parties on the same transaction.

How is Dedale Advisory different from a traditional CDD firm?

Our Thematic Leads have pre-existing knowledge on 100+ B2B technology segments before you brief them, built from years of expert interviews, platform research, and advisory engagements. The same team that produces the platform intelligence runs your mandate. No warm-up time, and at a fraction of the cost of a Tier-1 consulting engagement.

Can I use Advisory without a platform subscription?

Yes. Advisory is available as a standalone service. That said, most clients combine both, the platform for continuous market coverage, Advisory for live deal situations, because the intelligence base built on the platform directly feeds into every engagement.

What does a typical engagement look like?

We scope every mandate individually, a brief conversation to align on the question, the timeline, and the depth required. We confirm capacity and kick off within 24 to 48 hours for urgent situations.
