Why ZMA-DD-001 Exists
ZMA-DD-001 exists to address a critical issue in global capital markets: Many projects seek funding without being truly investor-ready
This creates:
Reputational risk
Failed engagements
Investor distrust
Regulatory exposure
ZMA-DD-001 ensures:
Only credible, verified, and structured opportunities are presented
Investor relationships are protected
PAG maintains institutional standards
Core Governance Principle
ZMA-DD-001 is built on one non-negotiable rule:
No investor engagement shall occur until full due diligence and readiness validation is completed.
Every engagement follows a structured two-part system:
1.) Core Due Diligence Report
A comprehensive institutional assessment covering:
Business and project viability
Market demand and commercial logic
Financial feasibility and structure
Management credibility
Risk register and red flags
Investor readiness checklist
Conditions precedent for engagement
2.) Mandatory Addendum (Governance Control Layer)
This ensures:
Clear role demarcation (PAiC vs ZMA)
Strict investor engagement protocols
Client eligibility requirements
Governance compliance before outreach
