Commercial due diligence that stays live.
Magnus delivers recommendation-led commercial due diligence that moves beyond the static report, giving investment teams a clear view on every target, prioritised day-one actions, and live intelligence through PULSE.
Our Approach
A clear investment stance on every target, and intelligence that stays live.
Traditional CDD can leave firms with a point-in-time report that supports the initial investment decision but offers less clarity from day one on how to unlock value and makes it harder to revisit commercial attractiveness as priorities shift and markets change.
Magnus gives investment firms a recommendation-led view of every target, grounded in commercial judgement, structured for action, and complete with prioritised day-one actions for value creation teams. Brought to life through PULSE, our AI-enabled platform that keeps the intelligence live.

CDD reimagined: built for investment
and value creation teams.
PULSE is an immersive, new solution for commercial due diligence combining recommendation-led investment insight with prioritised 100-day value creation actions in a single AI-enabled platform.

Explore AI Innovation SprintsIf your current model stops at the report, then yes. PULSE gives you a clear recommendation on every target, more clarity from day one on how to unlock value, and intelligence that stays live as conditions change.
Yes. The model is built to create consistency and comparability across multiple target companies, not just improve one isolated assessment.
Access to PULSE, our live AI-enabled platform where every report is stored, scorecards are comparable across every target, and you can interrogate the intelligence directly through chat. Plus a full CDD report for each target company with a clear investment view, and a prioritised recommendation for your value creation team from day one.
2–3 weeks, combining senior commercial expertise, direct buyer and stakeholder interviews and rigorous outside-in research. Fast enough to move with a live deal, without compromising the depth or defensibility of the commercial view.
Traditional commercial due diligence can require significant upfront spend for a single point-in-time output. Magnus is designed to create more value from that same spend through three connected outputs: the report, the recommendation, and PULSE.
