DFM Professional Packs

Internal screening tools for EU defence funding, ownership control and procurement readiness.

Three downloadable packs — editable workbooks and template sets that turn the EU's eligibility, control and procurement tests into one structured internal file. Every screening question is anchored to the relevant official provision.

One-off licence · Digital delivery after checkout · No subscription

Advisory and Enterprise licences may also be purchased by invoice.

The tests now run before the money.

EDIP, SAFE and the EDF do not start with your product — they start with your ownership, your executive management, your component origins and your partners. Investors face national FDI screening today, ahead of the EU framework applying in January 2028. Suppliers meet the same questions in prime-contractor intake. These packs let you run those tests on yourself first — before advisors, authorities or counterparties do.

The method behind every pack

Every pack separates three layers of information: official sources (every question anchored to the relevant provision at article level; the full instrument register — CELEX numbers and direct EUR-Lex links — is delivered inside each pack as the Source Register), DFM's operational structuring (the questions, in the right order), and your own entries (which only you control). The workbook never blends them.

Nine preliminary flags — the only outputs the workbooks produce

Every screening question resolves to one of a closed vocabulary of nine preliminary flags. No tab ever produces a legal conclusion.

From the Legal Basis tab

EDIP — Regulation (EU) 2025/2643 — Control Art. 2(8); eligibility Art. 9(1), 9(3), 9(5)–(6); component-origin 35% Art. 10(3)–(4); design freedom Art. 10(5).

SAFE — Council Regulation (EU) 2025/1106 — Establishment/control Art. 16(3); component-cost 35% Art. 16(10); use/modify without third-country restriction Art. 16(11).

EDF — Regulation (EU) 2021/697 — Control Art. 2(6); executive management Art. 2(7); entity conditions Art. 9(1)–(8); consortium composition Art. 10(4).

FDI screening — Regulation (EU) 2026/1386 — 'Foreign investment' Art. 2(1); minimum sector scope Art. 4(15)(a)–(g); applies from 17 January 2028 (Art. 31); national regimes apply meanwhile.
