3.2 The GOTCHA service is made available to you as an information and analysis tool only. It processes information from various sources to identify potential risks, assess success probabilities, evaluate compatibility factors, and provide strategic insights.

You must not rely solely on any GOTCHA output to make business or personal decisions without appropriate professional verification. GOTCHA is designed to support critical thinking and strategic framing—not to replace your own judgement or due diligence.

4. LIMITATIONS OF SERVICE

Confidence in every step.4.4 Success-Risk Matrix Limitations: The Success-Risk Matrix and any positioning of entities or transactions therein represent qualitative assessments based on available information. They are not statistical models or predictive tools with quantifiable accuracy. Positioning on the matrix is intended as a strategic thinking aid rather than a definitive prediction of outcomes.

4.5 Compatibility Analysis Limitations: Compatibility assessments and "torture test" scenarios represent hypothetical analyses based on available information. They should be treated as strategic discussion points rather than definitive predictions of relationship dynamics. 4.6 Not a Substitute for Independent Verification: You acknowledge that GOTCHA is not a substitute for your own independent verification and due diligence processes. You retain ultimate responsibility for any decisions made based on GOTCHA reports, assessments, and recommendations. You further acknowledge that any failure to seek appropriate legal, regulatory, or financial guidance before taking action based on GOTCHA outputs is done at your own risk.

These models have inherent limitations and may not capture all nuances of complex situations. Human oversight is not part of the standard analysis process. You understand that reports may be generated entirely through automated means and may reflect simulated perspectives, reasoning, and interpretations.

8.5 Success and Compatibility Assessments: Success probability analyses, compatibility assessments, and torture test scenarios are qualitative evaluations based on available information and theoretical models. They should not be interpreted as guarantees, predictions, or forecasts. In particular, Contract Analysis outputs do not constitute a legal opinion or binding interpretation of any agreement. Any stress-test or clause vulnerability identified is hypothetical in nature and may not reflect how a court or regulator would assess the agreement.

8.6 Strategic Recommendations: Any strategic recommendations or suggestions provided through GOTCHA are offered as potential considerations only.

SECTION 1: CLIENT DETAILS - Who is requesting the GOTCHA Analysis?

Name
Briefly describe your organization's relationship to the SUBJECT(s). This helps us understand your business context and tailor our analysis to your specific needs. For example: 'Potential investment partner,' 'Considering them for our supply chain,' or 'Evaluating for strategic acquisition

SECTION 2: CLIENT SPECIFIC CONTEXT (+£200)

By selecting "Yes," you're enabling GOTCHA to evaluate compatibility between you, your organisation and the SUBJECT(S). We'll analyze your business model, market position, and strategic objectives alongside the SUBJECT(S)' profile — providing insights into potential synergies, conflicts, or integration challenges. This creates a more comprehensive assessment focused on your specific business context rather than risks generic to the SUBJECT(S). (Premium Add-on £200)

SECTION 3: The PURPOSE: What is this GOTCHA really for?

This is the compass that guides your entire submission. The PURPOSE defines the question you're really asking us to test — and the strategic situation you're operating in. Everything else — from the success-risk matrix, document checks, and personas, to the optional inclusion of your own profile or the full 30 lenses — is calibrated by this. The more precisely you can frame your purpose, the more targeted our analysis will be, but don't worry about perfect wording - focus on what you genuinely need to understand. You're setting the coordinates for exploration, and GOTCHA is the instrument that will navigate the terrain. So be clear. Be strategic. Be authentic about what matters to you.
Describe the relationship or interaction you're evaluating. Be specific about the context, but don't worry about including every detail - just the strategic framework. E.g., 'We are exploring a licensing deal with [Company A] to enter the Middle East market' or 'We're vetting [Individual B] for a potential board appointment.
Frame this as a specific question or decision point you're facing. The more precise you can be about what you need to determine, the more targeted our analysis will be. Try completing the sentence: 'We want to know if...' E.g., 'We want to know if [Company X] is too risky to engage based on past litigation and current leadership' or 'We want to know if we should structure this as a joint venture or acquisition.
This helps us weigh the importance of different factors in our analysis. Describe what's truly at risk or what opportunity might be captured. Consider both quantitative impacts (financial, timeline) and qualitative ones (reputation, relationships, strategic positioning). What could go wrong if you misjudge this? What could go right if it works?

SECTION 4: The SUBJECT(S) - Who or what will GOTCHA evaluate?

This is the entity — individual, organization, or relationship — at the center of your inquiry. The Subject is what GOTCHA will examine through multiple perspectives based on your PURPOSE. You can analyze up to three Subjects for comparative assessment (e.g., potential partners, investment options, or acquisition targets). Each additional Subject beyond the first incurs an additional fee +1 Counterparty £399.99, +2 Counterparties £749.99. The more comprehensive your information, the more precise and valuable your final report will be.
1, 2 (£399.99), 3 (£749.99)

SUBJECT 1 - Your primary focus for analysis

Please provide comprehensive information about this Subject. Even details that might seem tangential can reveal important patterns and insights when examined through GOTCHA's multi-perspective analysis.
Name of the principal individual
The key person you're evaluating or the main decision-maker within the organization you're examining. This helps GOTCHA focus on the human element in its analysis.

SECTION 5: GOTCHA EDGE EDITION - 31 Strategic Lenses

This premium layer unlocks the full cognitive power of GOTCHA — applying 31 advanced “strategic stress-testing” lenses to your case. These lenses simulate alternative worldviews, reframe assumptions, amplify hidden contradictions, and illuminate blind spots at the edge of conventional analysis. It is especially valuable when decisions carry high stakes or require multidimensional insight beyond basic risk. Includes: Inversion Engines, Temporal Stress Tests, Shadow Persona Simulation, Ethical Contradiction Detectors, CEO’s Private Notebook, and more.

SECTION 6: CONTRACT ANALYSIS & VIRTUAL LITIGATION

This specialised service analyses your contract from multiple strategic perspectives and simulates how it might perform under various challenging scenarios. Our Virtual Litigation process stress-tests the agreement to identify potential vulnerabilities, inconsistencies, and points of leverage without the actual cost and time of real-world disputes. You'll receive actionable insights about your contract's strengths and weaknesses that you can discuss with your legal advisors.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

GOTCHA's Contract Analysis & Virtual Litigation is a strategic assessment tool, not legal advice. While we simulate dispute scenarios to identify potential issues, this does not replace qualified legal counsel. Our analysis is designed to complement your legal team's work by providing multi-perspective strategic insights.

SECTION 7: DOCUMENT INTEGRITY CHECK

This specialised analysis examines documents for signs of manipulation, inconsistencies, or other indicators that might affect credibility and authenticity. GOTCHA's multi-perspective approach can help identify potential issues in financial documents, credentials, statements, communications, and other important records.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

GOTCHA's Document Integrity Check provides pattern analysis and consistency verification but is not a forensic document examination or legal authentication service. Our analysis identifies potential concerns for your consideration, but should not replace professional forensic examination where legally significant authentication is required.

SECTION 8: GOTCHA STRATEGIC WHITE PAPER SYSTEM

Transform your market intuition into strategic insight

GOTCHA's Strategic White Paper System turns your hunches, questions, and market observations into compelling, research-backed white papers with a target delivery time of 24 hours. Unlike traditional white paper services that require you to provide fully-formed ideas and extensive briefings, we start with your intuition and do the heavy lifting.

Our approach isn't about ghostwriting – it's about ghost-solving. We take your initial question or market hunch, conduct deep research across multiple perspectives, and transform it into a strategically valuable narrative that positions your organisation as a thought leader.

Each paper follows our proven narrative arc (Hero → Catalyst → Transformation → Positioning) that engages readers emotionally while delivering practical business insights they can act on. The result is a white paper that reads like a story while functioning as strategy – making complex market shifts understandable and creating natural alignment with your solutions.

Simply share your initial thoughts below, and our advanced analytical system will do the rest, delivering a draft white paper ready for your review.
