Services
You don't have to know which one you need.
Tell us what's happening. We'll name the route, and the leader who owns it.
- The synergiesClick → The synergies had dates in the model, but no one's job depended on hitting them.
- The vacancyClick → The technology leadership seat is empty, and the decisions won't wait six months.
- The exitClick → The exit is eighteen months out and the operation wouldn't survive diligence today.
- ExposureClick → Your people are already pasting company data into tools you don't control.
- The green boardClick → Every department hits its numbers and the company still misses its own.
- The questionnaireClick → A customer's security review is holding up a contract you already won.
- The diligence numberClick → An early guess became the budget, and the budget became the promise you made.
- The dealClick → You bought a company and now run two of everything, with one team.
- The benefitClick → A year past go-live, the savings in the business case still haven't turned up.
- EvidenceClick → You can show what the AI model decided. You can't show why, or who agreed to it.
- The synergy delayClick → Your integration timeline slips, and the synergies modeled against it never land.
- The resignationClick → Your technology lead gave notice, and the capital plan is due before their last day.
- SpreadsheetsClick → The real system of record is a spreadsheet, and only one person understands it.
- The invoiceClick → Technology spending outgrew revenue two years running, and nothing says why.

- The extensionClick → The TSA ends before you are off the seller's systems, and the seller sets the price.
- The seller's personClick → The person who ran technology stayed with the seller. The systems came with you.
- Post-closeClick → The deal closed a year ago. Nobody has said who owns what since.
- LimitsClick → An AI system now acts on its own, and nobody has written down what it can't do.
- Month-endClick → Half of closing the month is arguing about whose number is right.
- The policyClick → Your cyber insurance assumes controls nobody has checked you actually have.
- The resetClick → Integration cost blew past what you signed off on, and now you explain it to the board.
- The conditionClick → Your biggest customer made the certificate a condition of renewal, not a request.
- Scope & costClick → Everyone agrees the change has to happen. Nobody has defined the scope or priced it.

- The buried costClick → Diligence priced the business the parent described, not the one you're buying.
- The commitmentClick → You committed to SOC 2 in a contract, and the date is closer than the work.
- ReconciliationClick → Two systems hold the same number. The day is lost making them match.

- The numberClick → You approved a figure built before anyone could know what the work involved.

- DiligenceClick → A buyer's diligence list arrives and nobody owns half the answers.
- The spin-outClick → The division you're selling has never had its own numbers. A buyer discounts the price.
- The steady stateClick → The team is sized to run the business. The one-time program has nobody to run it.

- The changeClick → A change that should take a week takes a quarter every time you ask for one.

- The providerClick → Your IT is outsourced and nobody inside can say whether it is being done well.
- The holdoutsClick → Two of the acquisitions still run their own systems, and nobody ever decided that.
- MigrationClick → A migration this size runs a year and touches everyone. Nobody here has done one.

- Lock-inClick → Your vendor contracts were signed for a smaller company, and they renew themselves.
- The exportClick → Anyone in sales can download the entire customer list, and always could.
- The integration credibilityClick → A status report that's always green stops being one you can actually trust.
- The burnClick → Spending is on plan and the schedule is not, and the two get reported separately.
- Build or buyClick → You're being asked to fund something your existing software might include next year.
- The handoverClick → The new leader starts in March and everything they inherit lives in one head.
- OwnershipClick → You paid for the software, and only the firm that built it can touch it.
- The go-liveClick → A customer contract set the go-live date, and the plan to meet it came after.

- The sourceClick → Every answer you get about your systems comes from the people who built them.
- Growth & scaleClick → The company doubled, but the way it runs didn't. What worked then doesn't work now.
- The upgradeClick → The vendor's next version is mandatory. Every customization has to survive it.
- HeadcountClick → Any answer you give on AI and jobs becomes a promise you're held to later.

That takes you to
For Sponsors
If you're the sponsor, not the operator.
Planned against the hold period, not the fiscal year.
Dates are set against your clock and the value creation plan behind it. You hear about a date at risk while there's still room to act, not in the month-end pack afterward.
Built to survive the next diligence.
The documentation, the decisions and the reasoning behind them are produced as the work happens rather than written up at the end — so when the next buyer's team reads it cold, it holds. See how →
One company, or the whole portfolio.
The same senior leader and the same standard across platforms, whether it's a first carve-out or a fifth bolt-on. The second platform starts from what the first one built, not from zero.
Who we answer to, settled before day one.
In a sponsor-backed company the CEO, the board and the sponsor want different things on the same Tuesday. We agree in writing who we report to before we start, and we don't work around it later. When those three disagree, you already know whose call we take. See how we set it →
Three other ways in
Design · build · both
