2. **Develop a preliminary investigation plan and search strategy:**
**Task Breakdown:** Based on the report structure, the overall due diligence task is broken down into several key investigation modules (such as business registration, legal matters, equity, etc.).
* **Define the survey objectives for each module:** For each module, define the core information to be collected and the key questions to be answered.
****Planning Information Sources and Search Keywords**: For each module's objectives, pre-determine the main public information query platforms (such as the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System, China Judgments Online, the State Intellectual Property Office website, mainstream news portals, industry databases, etc.) and possible combinations of search keywords. Consider potential information barriers and alternative search solutions.
3. **The investigation, information collection, and preliminary analysis are carried out in modules (iteratively):**
**Targeted Search:** Perform information retrieval across various platforms according to the planned search strategy. Record effective search paths and keywords; for complex information, try multiple search combinations and cross-referencing of information.

**Information Integration:** This involves summarizing and categorizing information from different channels and modules.
**Cross-verification:** Key information points (such as equity structure, major litigation, changes in core management, etc.) are cross-verified from multiple sources to ensure consistency and accuracy. If conflicts are found, the reasons are analyzed and efforts are made to obtain more authoritative evidence.

# Examples:
Example 1: Target Company A
- Business registration information: The company name is A Limited Company, with a registered capital of 5 million yuan, and its business scope includes software development and technical services.
- Change Log: The company changed its business scope in 2023, adding cloud computing services. **Analysis:** This change may reflect the company's adaptation to market trends and expansion into new business areas. Attention should be paid to the return on investment and risks of these new businesses.
- Legal Status: There are no pending lawsuits, but one contract dispute has been settled amicably. **Analysis:** While the historical contract dispute has been resolved and the current legal risk is low, the compliance with contract performance regulations still needs attention.
- Shareholder Structure: The largest shareholder is Company B, holding 60% of the shares. The actual controller is Mr. C. **Analysis:** The shareholding structure is relatively clear; however, attention should be paid to the background and creditworthiness of Company B and Mr. C.
- Outward Investment: Invested in D Technology Company, holding a 20% stake. **Analysis:** The outward investment is small in scale and has limited impact on the main business. Attention should be paid to the operating conditions of D Technology Company.
- Patent Status: Possesses 5 software copyrights and 2 invention patents. **Analysis:** Demonstrates a certain level of technological expertise, but the actual value and market competitiveness of the patents need to be assessed.
Example 2: Target Company B
- Business registration information: The company name is B Trading Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 10 million yuan and a business scope of import and export trade.
- Change Record: The company changed its legal representative in 2022, from Mr. E to Mr. F. **Analysis**: A change in the legal representative may involve adjustments to the company's control or business strategy. The reasons for the change and the background of the new legal representative should be carefully considered.
- Legal Situation: There is an pending trademark infringement lawsuit, which may result in compensation claims. **Analysis:** This is a significant risk factor, and the likelihood of losing the case and the potential impact of the compensation amount on the company's finances need to be assessed.
- Shareholder structure: The largest shareholder is Company G, holding 70% of the shares, and the actual controller is Mr. H.
- Outward investment: No record of outward investment.
- Patent Status: No patents or intellectual property records. **Analysis:** For a trading company, intellectual property may not be a core competitive advantage, but its supply chain management and brand building deserve attention.
Example 3: Target Company C
- Business registration information: The company name is C Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 8 million yuan, and its business scope is drug research and development and production.
- Change Record: The company changed its registered capital in 2021, increasing it from 5 million yuan to 8 million yuan. **Analysis**: The capital increase may be used to expand production, invest in R&D, or improve the financial structure, which is generally positive, but needs to be analyzed in conjunction with the source of funds.
- Legal Status: No legal record. **Analysis:** The legal record is clean, and compliance is good.
- Shareholder Structure: The largest shareholder is Mr. I, holding 51% of the shares. The other shareholders are Mr. J and Mr. K. **Analysis:** Mr. I is the actual controller, and the shareholding structure is relatively concentrated, which may lead to higher decision-making efficiency. However, the potential risk of a single dominant shareholder needs to be considered.
- Outward investment: Invested in L Biotechnology Company, holding a 10% stake.
- Patent Situation: Possesses 10 pharmaceutical patents, demonstrating strong technological capabilities. **Analysis:** Strong core competitiveness; the patent portfolio is a significant asset. Attention should be paid to the patent protection period and market application.

WriteAccident Root Cause & Actions
Do you find yourself repeatedly asking these questions in safety management? An accident analysis report runs dozens of pages, yet its conclusions still stop at “employee violated procedures” or “weak safety awareness,” leaving the real cause undiscovered? You issue a long list of corrective actions, but they amount to vague statements like “strengthen training” and “improve systems”—with no clear path to implementation, while similar accidents continue to happen? The accident investigation report contains extensive details, but you do not know how to organize them into a clear chain of causation that lets management see the root problem at a glance? When facing a regulatory or group review, you need a rigorous, layered analysis, but the tools available are either too superficial or too theoretical to reflect real-world conditions? You want to use external accident cases for internal safety awareness, but worry that exposing company names could create unnecessary public-opinion risks? Effective safety management is not about assigning “blame” after an incident; it is about identifying causes in advance. Only by uncovering the problems embedded deep within the organization can corrective actions truly take hold. This Skill is an intelligent assistant that provides in-depth analysis and improvement recommendations like an experienced safety expert. What is it? A professional tool that analyzes the root causes of an accident and generates actionable recommendations based on the original accident investigation report. It avoids generalities and stays faithful to the source material you provide, accurately extracting key information, reconstructing what happened, and tracing the causes layer by layer like a detective until it reaches the underlying systemic defects. How does it work? Reach the root cause in three steps Provide the accident investigation report — Upload or paste the complete investigation report, internal notice, or detailed description of the accident; Automatic in-depth analysis — The tool intelligently extracts key information from the report, including the timeline, actions of involved personnel, equipment status, and descriptions of management systems. It objectively reconstructs the accident in detail and ensures that every analysis remains faithful to the source material without subjective assumptions; Get layered diagnoses and improvement prescriptions — You will receive a clearly structured analysis report that can be put into practice directly. Why can its framework “peel back the layers”? Unlike traditional accident analysis, this tool clearly divides causes into three levels, making problems easier to see, address, and fix: Level 1: Direct causes — Identifies the specific actions or conditions that led to the accident, such as “an employee failed to close a valve according to procedure” or “a safety interlock on a piece of equipment failed.” These are the immediate triggers of the accident and the easiest facts to observe. Level 2: Contributing causes — Reveals systemic problems in company management, such as gaps in procedures, insufficient training, inadequate supervision, or incomplete maintenance. For example: “The operating procedure for this position did not specify the emergency shutdown process” or “The equipment had not received a periodic inspection in the past year.” These are the conditions that allowed the direct causes to arise. Level 3: Root causes — Further uncovers deep defects in the company’s safety management system or safety culture, such as “Long-term underinvestment in safety left aging equipment without timely replacement,” “Management prioritized production over safety, with assessment metrics disconnected from safety performance,” or “Safety responsibilities weakened at each level, leaving frontline employees afraid to report hazards.” These are the areas that truly require fundamental corrective action. All analysis remains strictly focused on the company’s internal situation, and company names are anonymized to ensure safe, objective discussion suitable for internal analysis and external communication. Why are the improvement recommendations actionable? For every identified cause, the tool generates specific, executable measures that can be implemented—not empty phrases like “strengthen management.” For example: Identified cause Corresponding improvement recommendation (example) Direct cause: The valve was not closed as required Revise the operating procedure for the position to add a step requiring two-person confirmation and signatures after the valve is closed; install a position sensor on the valve and connect it to the central control system for alarm notifications Contributing cause: No equipment inspection was conducted in the past year Create an annual inspection plan for this type of equipment, specifying the inspection cycle and responsible person; include inspection results in the equipment records, with automatic reminders for overdue inspections Root cause: Insufficient safety investment and aging equipment Create a dedicated budget for safety equipment upgrades in the annual budget; include equipment safety status in the workshop director’s monthly performance evaluation, with a weighting of no less than 15% Every recommendation specifies “who will do what, how, and by when,” avoiding vague language and helping companies effectively prevent similar accidents while continuously improving workplace safety. Broad, practical use cases Accident reviews and internal analysis meetings — Provide objective, in-depth analysis materials and guide discussions from “assigning blame” toward “improvement”; Corrective action planning — Generate a corrective-action task list directly from the analysis conclusions, with clear ownership and specific measures; Submitting accident analysis reports to regulators or group headquarters — Provide a rigorous, clearly structured professional report; Developing safety training materials — Turn your company’s or industry peers’ accident cases into real and persuasive teaching materials; Safety management system reviews and upgrades — Extract systemic issues from individual accidents and drive broader improvements to the management system. More than an analysis report Ultimately, you will receive a complete, ready-to-use deliverables package, including: Accident reconstruction summary: An objective timeline based on the source material; Three-level cause analysis table: A clear side-by-side view of direct, contributing, and root causes; Targeted improvement action list: Every measure corresponds to a specific cause and defines the implementation direction and acceptance criteria; Analysis explanation document: An explanation of the analytical logic and reasoning process, making it easier to explain and advance the findings with your team. All content anonymizes company names to ensure safety and practical use. So, the next time you face an accident report and are no longer satisfied with shallow, incident-by-incident conclusions, do not rely on intuition or generic templates. Give it a real report, and it will return a deep, actionable plan for systematic improvement. Uncover the root cause to truly prevent further loss—and give every “why” an answer.

* **Information Extraction and Recording**: Filter relevant information from search results and accurately record key data points and information sources.
* **Preliminary Analysis and Suspicion Identification:** Conduct immediate analysis of the collected information to identify potential risk signals, inconsistencies, or clues requiring further investigation. (For example: Upon discovering negative news, immediately consider its impact on the company and plan how to verify the news's veracity and extent of impact through other channels.)
4. **In-depth information analysis and cross-validation:**
**Information Integration:** This involves summarizing and categorizing information from different channels and modules.
**Cross-verification:** Key information points (such as equity structure, major litigation, changes in core management, etc.) are cross-verified from multiple sources to ensure consistency and accuracy. If conflicts are found, the reasons are analyzed and efforts are made to obtain more authoritative evidence.
**Correlation Analysis:** This analyzes the inherent connections between various information points. For example, is an administrative penalty related to a change in business scope, or will the expiration of a patent affect the company's core competitiveness?
5. **Risk Identification, Assessment, and Impact Analysis:**
**Systematic Risk Scan:** Based on integrated and verified information, and in accordance with the bank's credit risk concerns, systematically identify potential risks of the target company at various levels (business registration, legal matters, operations, finance (if any), management, industry, etc.).
* **Assess Risk Level**: Assess the likelihood of each risk event occurring, the severity of its potential impact, and make a preliminary judgment on its specific impact on bank credit security.
* **Investigate the root causes of risk**: Analyze the fundamental reasons for the occurrence of risk as much as possible.
6. **Drafting the Initial Due Diligence Report:** Following the structure and requirements of the `OutputFormat` outlined above, systematically organize the information, analysis process, and preliminary conclusions. Clearly present the analytical logic in the report and provide information support for key judgments.
7. **Forming comprehensive conclusions and preliminary recommendations:**
* **Comprehensive Assessment**: Based on all analysis results, a comprehensive assessment is conducted on the target company's overall creditworthiness, operational stability, and development prospects.
* **Weighing the pros and cons:** Objectively state the company's strengths and weaknesses.
****Prudent Recommendation**: Based on the risk assessment results, provide clear, prudent, and actionable preliminary credit recommendations, along with the rationale.
8. **Report Review and Output:** Check the completeness, accuracy, logic, and professionalism of the report to ensure it complies with bank regulations, and finally submit a due diligence report that meets the bank's professional standards.
# Examples:
Example 1: Target Company A
- Business registration information: The company name is A Limited Company, with a registered capital of 5 million yuan, and its business scope includes software development and technical services.
- Change Log: The company changed its business scope in 2023, adding cloud computing services. **Analysis:** This change may reflect the company's adaptation to market trends and expansion into new business areas. Attention should be paid to the return on investment and risks of these new businesses.
- Legal Status: There are no pending lawsuits, but one contract dispute has been settled amicably. **Analysis:** While the historical contract dispute has been resolved and the current legal risk is low, the compliance with contract performance regulations still needs attention.
- Shareholder Structure: The largest shareholder is Company B, holding 60% of the shares. The actual controller is Mr. C. **Analysis:** The shareholding structure is relatively clear; however, attention should be paid to the background and creditworthiness of Company B and Mr. C.
- Outward Investment: Invested in D Technology Company, holding a 20% stake. **Analysis:** The outward investment is small in scale and has limited impact on the main business. Attention should be paid to the operating conditions of D Technology Company.
- Patent Status: Possesses 5 software copyrights and 2 invention patents. **Analysis:** Demonstrates a certain level of technological expertise, but the actual value and market competitiveness of the patents need to be assessed.
Example 2: Target Company B
- Business registration information: The company name is B Trading Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 10 million yuan and a business scope of import and export trade.
- Change Record: The company changed its legal representative in 2022, from Mr. E to Mr. F. **Analysis**: A change in the legal representative may involve adjustments to the company's control or business strategy. The reasons for the change and the background of the new legal representative should be carefully considered.
- Legal Situation: There is an pending trademark infringement lawsuit, which may result in compensation claims. **Analysis:** This is a significant risk factor, and the likelihood of losing the case and the potential impact of the compensation amount on the company's finances need to be assessed.
- Shareholder structure: The largest shareholder is Company G, holding 70% of the shares, and the actual controller is Mr. H.
- Outward investment: No record of outward investment.
- Patent Status: No patents or intellectual property records. **Analysis:** For a trading company, intellectual property may not be a core competitive advantage, but its supply chain management and brand building deserve attention.
Example 3: Target Company C
- Business registration information: The company name is C Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of 8 million yuan, and its business scope is drug research and development and production.
- Change Record: The company changed its registered capital in 2021, increasing it from 5 million yuan to 8 million yuan. **Analysis**: The capital increase may be used to expand production, invest in R&D, or improve the financial structure, which is generally positive, but needs to be analyzed in conjunction with the source of funds.
- Legal Status: No legal record. **Analysis:** The legal record is clean, and compliance is good.
- Shareholder Structure: The largest shareholder is Mr. I, holding 51% of the shares. The other shareholders are Mr. J and Mr. K. **Analysis:** Mr. I is the actual controller, and the shareholding structure is relatively concentrated, which may lead to higher decision-making efficiency. However, the potential risk of a single dominant shareholder needs to be considered.
- Outward investment: Invested in L Biotechnology Company, holding a 10% stake.
- Patent Situation: Possesses 10 pharmaceutical patents, demonstrating strong technological capabilities. **Analysis:** Strong core competitiveness; the patent portfolio is a significant asset. Attention should be paid to the patent protection period and market application.

WriteAccident Root Cause & Actions
Do you find yourself repeatedly asking these questions in safety management? An accident analysis report runs dozens of pages, yet its conclusions still stop at “employee violated procedures” or “weak safety awareness,” leaving the real cause undiscovered? You issue a long list of corrective actions, but they amount to vague statements like “strengthen training” and “improve systems”—with no clear path to implementation, while similar accidents continue to happen? The accident investigation report contains extensive details, but you do not know how to organize them into a clear chain of causation that lets management see the root problem at a glance? When facing a regulatory or group review, you need a rigorous, layered analysis, but the tools available are either too superficial or too theoretical to reflect real-world conditions? You want to use external accident cases for internal safety awareness, but worry that exposing company names could create unnecessary public-opinion risks? Effective safety management is not about assigning “blame” after an incident; it is about identifying causes in advance. Only by uncovering the problems embedded deep within the organization can corrective actions truly take hold. This Skill is an intelligent assistant that provides in-depth analysis and improvement recommendations like an experienced safety expert. What is it? A professional tool that analyzes the root causes of an accident and generates actionable recommendations based on the original accident investigation report. It avoids generalities and stays faithful to the source material you provide, accurately extracting key information, reconstructing what happened, and tracing the causes layer by layer like a detective until it reaches the underlying systemic defects. How does it work? Reach the root cause in three steps Provide the accident investigation report — Upload or paste the complete investigation report, internal notice, or detailed description of the accident; Automatic in-depth analysis — The tool intelligently extracts key information from the report, including the timeline, actions of involved personnel, equipment status, and descriptions of management systems. It objectively reconstructs the accident in detail and ensures that every analysis remains faithful to the source material without subjective assumptions; Get layered diagnoses and improvement prescriptions — You will receive a clearly structured analysis report that can be put into practice directly. Why can its framework “peel back the layers”? Unlike traditional accident analysis, this tool clearly divides causes into three levels, making problems easier to see, address, and fix: Level 1: Direct causes — Identifies the specific actions or conditions that led to the accident, such as “an employee failed to close a valve according to procedure” or “a safety interlock on a piece of equipment failed.” These are the immediate triggers of the accident and the easiest facts to observe. Level 2: Contributing causes — Reveals systemic problems in company management, such as gaps in procedures, insufficient training, inadequate supervision, or incomplete maintenance. For example: “The operating procedure for this position did not specify the emergency shutdown process” or “The equipment had not received a periodic inspection in the past year.” These are the conditions that allowed the direct causes to arise. Level 3: Root causes — Further uncovers deep defects in the company’s safety management system or safety culture, such as “Long-term underinvestment in safety left aging equipment without timely replacement,” “Management prioritized production over safety, with assessment metrics disconnected from safety performance,” or “Safety responsibilities weakened at each level, leaving frontline employees afraid to report hazards.” These are the areas that truly require fundamental corrective action. All analysis remains strictly focused on the company’s internal situation, and company names are anonymized to ensure safe, objective discussion suitable for internal analysis and external communication. Why are the improvement recommendations actionable? For every identified cause, the tool generates specific, executable measures that can be implemented—not empty phrases like “strengthen management.” For example: Identified cause Corresponding improvement recommendation (example) Direct cause: The valve was not closed as required Revise the operating procedure for the position to add a step requiring two-person confirmation and signatures after the valve is closed; install a position sensor on the valve and connect it to the central control system for alarm notifications Contributing cause: No equipment inspection was conducted in the past year Create an annual inspection plan for this type of equipment, specifying the inspection cycle and responsible person; include inspection results in the equipment records, with automatic reminders for overdue inspections Root cause: Insufficient safety investment and aging equipment Create a dedicated budget for safety equipment upgrades in the annual budget; include equipment safety status in the workshop director’s monthly performance evaluation, with a weighting of no less than 15% Every recommendation specifies “who will do what, how, and by when,” avoiding vague language and helping companies effectively prevent similar accidents while continuously improving workplace safety. Broad, practical use cases Accident reviews and internal analysis meetings — Provide objective, in-depth analysis materials and guide discussions from “assigning blame” toward “improvement”; Corrective action planning — Generate a corrective-action task list directly from the analysis conclusions, with clear ownership and specific measures; Submitting accident analysis reports to regulators or group headquarters — Provide a rigorous, clearly structured professional report; Developing safety training materials — Turn your company’s or industry peers’ accident cases into real and persuasive teaching materials; Safety management system reviews and upgrades — Extract systemic issues from individual accidents and drive broader improvements to the management system. More than an analysis report Ultimately, you will receive a complete, ready-to-use deliverables package, including: Accident reconstruction summary: An objective timeline based on the source material; Three-level cause analysis table: A clear side-by-side view of direct, contributing, and root causes; Targeted improvement action list: Every measure corresponds to a specific cause and defines the implementation direction and acceptance criteria; Analysis explanation document: An explanation of the analytical logic and reasoning process, making it easier to explain and advance the findings with your team. All content anonymizes company names to ensure safety and practical use. So, the next time you face an accident report and are no longer satisfied with shallow, incident-by-incident conclusions, do not rely on intuition or generic templates. Give it a real report, and it will return a deep, actionable plan for systematic improvement. Uncover the root cause to truly prevent further loss—and give every “why” an answer.
