for sponsors
Where the firm fits in a hold.
A practical view for PE sponsors and deal teams: when to bring structural work into a portfolio company, how the four instruments map to a deal timeline, and what your own involvement looks like.
The problem we solve for you
The risk your diligence didn’t price.
Financial diligence tells you whether the numbers are real. It does not tell you whether the operating model beneath them is real — whether the company runs on institutional capacity or on a handful of people quietly absorbing the gap. That distinction is invisible on a dashboard and decisive at scale, and it is the risk that surfaces, reliably, at the Year-3 hold-period inflection.
Across the deal timeline
When to bring each instrument in.
Pre-close / IOI
Quality of Structure™
Before you rely on the numbers, an independent read on whether the foundations that produce them are real — the structural complement to Quality of Earnings.
early hold
Structural Audit™
A fixed-scope diagnostic that maps where the company depends on key people rather than institutional capacity, with a roadmap sequenced by risk.
Active integration
Scale Readiness Office™
A bounded deployment that builds the capacity and governance the roadmap calls for, and stands down when the structure demonstrably holds — not when the calendar runs out.
Post-deployment
Structural Confirmation™
A neutral-observer return that verifies the model still runs unattended — a Confirmation Opinion you and the board can rely on.
What engaging us asks of you
Defined scope, defined exit, minimal demand on your team.
Each instrument is fixed in scope and exits on a defined condition, so your exposure is bounded and legible from the start. The exit gates are signed at entry — by the operator and you, together — so the endpoint is contractual rather than discretionary. And because the firm earns nothing recurring on the specialists it sources, nothing in its economics rewards a slower exit. You are buying a transition, not a dependency.
