Doug, I'm impressed by your first bullet -- "consider whether this deal is good for the investors, founders, and employees."
The first two -- investors & founders -- are pretty obvious.
However, have seen deals where employees were hurt, and even significantly (including massive layoffs soon after the acquisition was finalized). It didn't seem like anyone thought about them. So, huge kudos to you for including the employees in the consideration.
