An independent assessment of acquisition fit: risks, hidden costs, technical debt, delivery capability and key-person dependencies. Delivered with a value hypothesis and a 100-day plan — readable for both management and board.
When interviews with the team aren't possible, the assessment is built from the data room: documentation, architecture descriptions, code where permitted, contracts and key figures. Experience determines which questions the material actually answers — and which gaps are themselves a risk signal.
With access to the team, we use essentially the same approach as in strategic advisory — interviews and a walkthrough of people, process and technology — but focused on acquisition fit: risks, hidden costs, technical debt, and what the value creation after closing will take.
An independent assessment of whether the technology carries the deal: data, architecture, technical debt, hidden costs, delivery capability and key people — focused on acquisition fit. The delivery includes a risk picture, a value hypothesis and a 100-day plan.
The target is a first assessment within three weeks — stated as a target the engagement is designed for. The transaction timeline governs; scope is shaped to it.
A checklist shows the systems exist. We assess whether they carry the business: whether the data can be trusted, whether the architecture takes growth, and whether the organisation can deliver the value the price assumes — people, process and technology together.
Every engagement is scoped before it starts: scope, deliverables and timeline are agreed together, and the price is set from that scope. One accountable person throughout — fully independent, with no reseller interests.
