The Framework

Three Fixed Lenses. Applied To Every Deal, The Same Way.

Lens 01

Governance

Whether formal control, board seats, voting rights, protective provisions, actually matches who holds day-to-day authority.

Formal vs. effective control mapping

Company chop and legal representative structure

Board composition vs. real decision authority

Lens 02

Capital Dependency

Where a company's capital and revenue actually originate, and what that implies about incentive alignment.

Source and terms of state-linked or subsidy capital

Customer and revenue concentration analysis

Prior-round capital account and SAFE dependencies

Lens 03

Political Exposure

How exposed a structure is to shifts in regulation, enforcement, or policy posture, precedent versus untested assumption.

Foreign-ownership catalogue status by sub-sector

VIE structure enforceability and precedent

Cross-border data and capital movement exposure

Pour Gouvernance

Des sièges au conseil et des droits d'actionnaires qui semblent identiques à ce qu'on attendrait sur n'importe quel marché, jusqu'à vérifier qui détient réellement le contrôle opérationnel.
