Venture Diligence in DefenseTech and Financial Services: Multifactor Market Attractiveness and Valuation Scoring

Venture diligence in capital-intensive and strategically sensitive industries such as DefenseTech and financial services requires evaluative frameworks that extend beyond traditional financial metrics. This paper presents a structured approach to multifactor market attractiveness and valuation scoring, integrating geopolitical risk assessments, regulatory compliance, technological maturity, and demand elasticity with conventional financial ratios and growth forecasts. By combining quantitative modeling with qualitative scenario analyses, the study develops a holistic methodology that addresses both investor imperatives and public interest obligations. The results suggest that while DefenseTech investments hinge heavily on security policy alignment and long procurement cycles, financial services ventures are more responsive to market fluidity, consumer confidence, and regulatory harmonization. The findings underscore the necessity of adapting diligence processes to sector-specific risk-return dynamics, advancing scholarly debates on valuation methodologies and providing actionable insights for investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs.
