Antitrust Market Definition for Digital Platform M&A · the platform merger review, made adopt-ready · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Run the competition review of a platform deal, without building the process yourself.
Every control handed to you adopt-ready, from defining the relevant market and anticipating theories of harm through the economic evidence and nascent-competition screening to remedy design, with the evidence a reviewer examines.
Ready in a weekend, not a quarter.

Here is the honest situation. In digital platform M&A the deal is usually won or lost on market definition, yet platforms are free and multi-sided, so the standard price-based tools give ambiguous answers. A defensible review means defining the market with adapted tests grounded in real substitution evidence, anticipating the specific theory of harm the authority will run, assembling diversion, pricing-pressure, documentary and natural-experiment evidence, screening even small targets for a nascent-competition theory, and designing remedies matched to the concern. A deal filed on a convenient market definition and a generic defence is exactly where teams fall short.

This Kit removes the guesswork. It is antitrust market definition for digital platform M&A written as adopt-ready controls you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a reviewer examines.

What you get, the moment you buy

18
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what a reviewer examines, plus where teams fall short, so you close the gap first.
1
Control Matrix, pre-built. Every control in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status, owner and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each control and the workbook returns your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

Grounded in current competition-economics and merger-review practice. Editable Word and Excel files.

The deal is won or lost on market definition
A market drawn too narrowly hands the authority its theory of harm; too broadly and it collapses under scrutiny. This Kit builds the controls that make a platform deal review defensible, with the evidence a reviewer asks for.

What one control looks like

This is the opening control, where the review begins. All 18 are built to this depth.

ATM-1 Adopt a platform-M&A competition review policy FOUNDATION
Put this control in place

Adopt [your organization name]'s policy for competition review of digital platform acquisitions, defining which deals require an antitrust assessment, who owns it, when it starts in the deal timeline, and the evidence standard it must meet, and document it so the baseline can be evidenced.

Control note.

Market definition and theory of harm decide platform deals, so a governing review policy is the starting control.

Evidence a reviewer examines
  • A platform-M&A competition review policy
  • A named review owner
  • The trigger and evidence-standard definitions
Common finding they raise: Platform deals proceed with no structured competition assessment until a regulator raises one.

Why this is not another template pack

  • The evidence is the point. A control you cannot evidence is a gap waiting to be found. This tells you what a reviewer examines and where teams fall short, for every control.
  • The platform specifics built in. Zero-price and multi-sided market definition, nascent competition and below-threshold review are written into the controls, not left generic.
  • Built on real practice, not one person's opinion, grounded in how platform merger reviews are actually decided.
  • It compounds. This work shares its shape with digital-regulation and governance frameworks, so it feeds your wider program.
