Who we help
Investor and PE-backed businesses
There is a plan, a board and a clock. What is usually missing is independent evidence of where the value plan is genuinely at risk, and senior capability to close the gap inside the hold period.
What usually breaks first
The constraints we see most at this stage
Leadership & Governance
The management team inherited from the deal is not the team the value plan needs.
Milestones slip quietly, and the gap only surfaces at the board meeting after it mattered.
Cash & Profitability
Reporting satisfies the investor but does not tell operators which lever moved the number.
Interventions are chosen by instinct rather than by evidence, at the most expensive point in the cycle.
Technology & AI
Systems and data from multiple acquisitions never got integrated, so there is no single view.
The value assumed at acquisition stays theoretical, and diligence at exit becomes a remediation exercise.
These are three of the six dimensions scored in the Constraint Assessment. The assessment tells you which one is actually costing you the most.
