Hello Searchfunder Community,
During my personal search journey, I have always been on the lookout for ways to optimize my vetting process. Reviewing Confidential Information Memorandums (CIMs) and conducting initial due diligence can be incredibly time-consuming. This challenge led me to create a personal GPT, trained on the playbooks and checklists of top advisory and private equity firms. This specialized training ensures that the tool is more than just a data analysis platform; it serves as a conduit of industry-leading practices, offering unparalleled depth and breadth in evaluation.

Guide to Accessing and Using SMB Small Business CIM Evaluator in ChatGPT.
1. Log In: Access the ChatGPT platform and log in with your credentials.
2. Navigate to GPTs: In the main interface, look for an option labeled "Explore GPTs" or something similar. Click on this to view the available GPT models.
3. Find SMB CIM Evaluator: Use the search bar or browse through the list to find "SMB Small Business CIM Evaluator". It might be categorized under business or research tools. Once found, select it to proceed.
4. Upload Documents: In the SMB CIM Evaluator interface, find the option to upload documents. This typically involves clicking the 'Upload' button or dragging and dropping files into a designated chat area. Upload your Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) and any related documents you want analyzed. Ensure the documents are in a supported format. Please ensure documents are cleaned of any company or owner/employee information. Remember, this is still a CIM and I'm not sure how OpenAI uses the data entered into the tool.
5. Request Analyses or Ask Questions: After uploading the documents, you can start asking specific questions related to the CIM or request particular analyses. The types of analyses and questions could range from financial health assessments, market trend evaluations, to risks and opportunities identification.
6. Review Responses: The GPT will process your requests and provide responses based on the data and information from the uploaded documents. You can review these responses, which will include insights, analysis, and possibly recommendations.
7. Iterative Interaction: You can continue to interact with the GPT by asking follow-up questions or requesting further clarification based on the initial responses.
This GPT is not a one-stop-shop for all your due diligence needs and should not be solely relied upon. It's a tool to complement your due diligence process, providing an additional layer of analysis and insight.
Final thoughts.
I want to clarify that my intention isn't to sell you anything. I developed this tool primarily to assist in my personal search endeavors and believe it could be beneficial to others in similar pursuits. That said, I greatly value and welcome feedback from the community, as it is instrumental in further training and optimizing the tool for enhanced performance.
