— HOW IT BEHAVES
How Leadership due diligence pack produces its result
The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.
Scored against your criteria
Assessment happens against criteria you control and weight, so the same standard applies on every run.
Coverage, both directions
A coverage pass shows what is supported and what is not — including requirements with nothing behind them and material that supports nothing.
Banded results
Results are placed into defined bands, so thresholds decide the outcome instead of individual interpretation.
Chronology made explicit
Dates and sequence are lifted out into a timeline, exposing tenure, gaps and overlaps that prose hides.
Live external research
Current external sources are researched during the run rather than recalled from training data, and the sources travel with the output.
Applied to every item
The same analysis is executed per item across the whole population, not on a sample.
Why this is expensive by hand
In talent & leadership work, leadership due diligence pack is one of those tasks that looks straightforward until you are three documents deep and the details stop agreeing with each other. In practice it shows up as transaction management diligence: assess a leadership team as part of a deal, with timelines, coverage and risk in a single pack. The value sits in the rigour, not the typing — yet the rigour is exactly what gets traded away when there is only 1–2 weeks of capacity for it.
How this Skill produces it
Skillsize turns that work into a Skill: you supply the material, and what comes back is an evidence-led diligence pack with career timelines, with scored coverage against role requirements. What sits between input and output is the codified method: thresholds, sequencing and the points where a human confirms a call — all of it visible and editable in the Skill. The practical effect: 1–2 weeks of manual work becomes a ~40 minutes run, held to an identical standard on the tenth engagement as on the first.
Who it's for
- Independent consultants codifying their own methodology
- Strategy and transformation teams standardising delivery
- Internal advisory functions under pressure to produce faster
- Operators who need defensible output, not a one-off chat answer
Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere
Leadership due diligence pack exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
