One thing I despise is like completely unnecessary diligence. This may be dumb but as a generalist where I still have optionality for the future are there sectors that you have found have the least amount of completely useless mind numbingly boring diligence. Feel like healthcare would have a lot of extra work involved.

Healthcare (services) diligence is the most necessary. If you can’t find a playbook / process that actually drives cost savings, the business won’t work.
I’d say consumer has the most useless diligence. Those LTV / CAC, payback metrics are kind of useless. Either ppl like the product / service or they don’t. 90%+ of the time mgmt is mostly along for the ride.
Is healthcare investing focused mostly on cutting costs as opposed to diligencing ways to drive growth.
