How to check the answer
Every fact on the card has a working link or a register entry, the red flags found are verified in the primary source, and there is a list of questions for negotiations
Pitfalls
- The search assistant mixes up companies with similar names: check the registration number in every source
- Terms and amounts of the planned deal stay out of the prompt, the counterparty name and number are enough
