Who Comes to DGC
Robotics operators deploying fleets need growth capital but lack credit-committee-ready documentation.
DGC translates deployment telemetry and contracted revenue into lender-grade memos that shorten diligence cycles.
OEMs and integrators face two capital problems: financing their own deployed fleet, and managing the credit risk they take on when they lease equipment directly to customers.
DGC translates deployment data into lender-ready materials for your own fleet — and structures how you evaluate, price, and document customer lease risk.
Capital allocators receive curated robotics deal flow with standardized collateral scoring and structured memos.
DGC sends pre-packaged introductions only — no cold inbound — with a committed 72-hour review window per deal.
The DGC Assessment
The DGC Assessment produces six structured outputs from your deployment data — each mapped to credit committee language and formatted for institutional review.
Quantifies deployed fleet assets, utilization patterns, and collateral coverage ratios in credit-committee language.
DGC Memo — Section 1Translates operator deployment data into a structured narrative aligned to institutional underwriting standards.
DGC Memo — Section 2Maps contracted revenue streams, service obligations, and repayment capacity across the deployment lifecycle.
DGC Memo — Section 3Identifies gaps between current deployment maturity and lender-ready documentation requirements.
DGC Memo — Section 4Packages assessment outputs into a diligence-ready memo formatted for capital partner review.
DGC Memo — Section 5Evaluates telemetry, reporting cadence, and covenant monitoring infrastructure for post-close oversight.
DGC Memo — Section 6Assessment retainer pricing is scoped to fleet size and deal complexity. The retainer credits against DGC's origination fee when a deal closes — net operator cost approaches zero at successful capital formation.
How the Economics Work
DGC's retainer model aligns operator and capital partner incentives. The assessment fee credits against origination when a deal closes.
Step 1
Request Pricing
Operator commits a retainer for DGC to build a full lender-ready assessment package from deployment data.
Step 2
DGC sends curated introductions to capital partners in its network with a structured deal memo.
Partners commit to a 72-hour review window per introduction.
Outcome
1–2% of closed deal value
When capital formation succeeds, DGC's origination fee credits against the assessment retainer — reducing net operator cost to near zero.

The DGC Process
Five questions operators ask before booking a discovery call.
The DGC Assessment is a six-stage capital readiness report produced in approximately three weeks. It translates your robot fleet's operational data — uptime, utilization, maintenance records, contract structures — into the credit narrative a lender's credit committee can recognize and act on. The deliverable is a document you can hand to a lender the next day. The six stages are: Credit Narrative Report, SLA Contract Risk Analysis, Financing Options Matrix, Lender Readiness Checklist, Capital Partner Pitch Summary, and Monitoring Readiness Review.
