Investment diligence · Kenya and East Africa
Make the investment decision on evidence—not the pitch.
Navy Blue Advisory helps lean investment teams test the numbers, verify operating reality and turn uncertain evidence into an IC-ready decision.
Financial truthCash evidence, historical quality, unit economics and downside resilience.
Operational realitySite work, capacity checks and interviews beyond the founder.
Risk structureClear mitigants, conditions precedent, covenants and monitoring priorities.
IC clarityEvidence distilled into a decision-ready recommendation.
Engagement options
Decision support matched to the question—not a default large-firm process.
Each engagement begins with the investment decision, the evidence standard and the smallest credible scope needed to reach it.
02
Focused Verification
Resolve one investment-critical question: revenue quality, customer evidence, unit economics, site capacity, repayment capacity or market validation.

The method
A controlled path from mandate to recommendation.
01
ScopeDefine the decision and killer risks.
02
BuildControl the evidence base.
03
TestChallenge the claims independently.
04
VerifyCheck reality through people and place.
05
DecideConnect findings to action.
AI-native. Human accountable.
Automate the movement and testing of evidence. Keep judgment human.
Technology increases coverage and consistency. Named professionals still decide what is credible, material and unresolved—and what the investor should do about it.
01
Source-linked findingsMaterial claims remain connected to the records, interviews and observations that support them.
02
Independent recomputationDecision-critical numbers are rebuilt or recalculated rather than accepted from the model.
03
Contradictions stay visibleConflicting or incomplete evidence is escalated, not quietly averaged away.
04
Principal sign-offNo system independently makes or releases the investment recommendation.
Relevant experience
Work that follows the evidence into the business—not just across the data room.
Testing whether a life-critical care model could support expansion capital.
Operational visits, clinical perspective, reimbursement-risk analysis, financial simplification and multi-scenario debt-capacity testing.
Separating demonstrated operating capacity from growth and carbon-credit assumptions.
Multi-site fieldwork, production and sales interviews, bank and mobile-money review and enhanced diligence planning.
Reconstructing unit economics behind an impact thesis.
Gross-margin analysis, supply-chain research, management diligence and a staged plan for deeper verification.
