DOUGLAS USA - WHERE MarCom Mastery
and PRDD Converge
for Valuation Certainty   

ALWAYS BE PREPARED

We combine decades of marketing communications, brand, and reputational experience with Proactive Reverse Due Diligence™ (PRDD) to turn how your business is perceived into investor-grade CLARITY.

Most due diligence firms either tell your story or scrutinize your numbers. DOUGLAS USA does both—and makes them agree. We use our MarCom insight to power PRDD, then use PRDD findings to reshape your narratives so they can be believed and defended during valuation. The result is what you say, what you can prove, and what counterparties experience are finally aligned.

FROM INSIGHTFUL SCRUTINY

TO CREDIBLE STORY   

Our innovation is a continuous loop: DK PRISM 2.0™ insight → PRDD analysis → refined narratives → stronger valuations.

DIAGNOSE - CLARITYENGINE™ looks beyond surface messaging to map how identity, leadership, and culture actually function.

 

DISCOVER - PROMPTFORCE™ uses structured inquiry to test assumptions and expose strengths typical MarCom never reaches.

 

TRANSLATE - PRDD Readiness organizes this into an internal value architecture, showing how to shore up gaps and amplify differentiators.

 

COMMUNICATE - DOUGLAS USA converts that architecture into investor-grade narratives, decks, and websites.

 

Achieving CLARITY Before the Close™ is the practical outcome of a system designed to keep story and reality synchronized.

FOR LEADERS WHO NEED

BOTH STORY & SCRUTINY   

WHO WE SERVE

Owners, buyers, and boards all face the same tension: the story they are told versus the reality they must live with after the close.

For Owners & Sellers: We help turn decades of work and reputation into a documented, defensible story that survives scrutiny. 

 

For Buyers & Investors: We provide a clearer picture of what is actually being bought, beyond the pitch, identifying hidden strengths and risks. 

 

For Boards & Governance: We supply readiness views that tie management narratives to operational truth, supporting fiduciary duty.

TURNING DECADES OF NARRATIVE

CRAFT INTO TRANSACTION READINESS   

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE BRIDGE

Doug Kilarski: Brings decades of MarCom, recruiting, and crisis PR experience to power the diagnostic side of PRDD and readiness. He understands how operational truths must line up with what is promised to sophisticated capital.

 

Marion Lott-Kilarski: Co-Founder and Creative Director who ensures PRDD outputs are translated into coherent, visually disciplined, and investor-ready narratives.

 

Heritage: Through DK KONCEPTS, three decades of brand building and crisis-management are the Business Advancement Catalysts that drive our system.

Bridging Operational History to High-Stakes success

DOUGLAS USA and Doug Kilarski have engineered the definitive bridge between decades of global MarCom, advertising, and product launches and the demanding world of corporate transactions. 

They utilize a proprietary professional repurposing and intelligent summary methodology (DK PRISM 2.0™) that does more than catalog history—it unequivocally discerns value and identifies critical faults. This innovative method strategically transforms extensive operational history from static data into a dynamic driver for liquidity events.

 

Reverse-Engineering Value for Strategic Growth 

DK PRISM 2.0™ is a transformative engine that reverse-engineers the intrinsic value of past business, service, and product positioning. It creates the clear, data-backed narratives essential for executing the practical outcome of a system designed to keep story and reality synchronized.
