Investor Diligence Resources

Interrogate what must be true

The Trustworthy Technology & Innovation Consortium (TTIC) develops practitioner-informed requirements that help investors examine whether consequential technology claims are supported by evidence and what unresolved operating requirements may mean for capital.

Most diligence asks whether the technology is promising. These resources help investors ask whether it can survive the environment in which it must actually operate.

These resources were developed in the course of supporting the investing purpose of a Catholic consortium whose work serves dozens of investing processes.

Institutional Boundary

TTIC provides requirements. Investors own diligence and capital decisions. Companies own execution.

TTIC provides practitioner-informed requirements and educational resources. Investors remain responsible for diligence, investment judgment, risk interpretation, and every capital decision. Companies remain responsible for remediation and execution. TTIC does not recommend investments, endorse companies, score candidates for investors, or participate in investment committee decisions.
