Situation

Preparing for an exit

Value is lost in diligence, and it is lost on things that were fixable years earlier — customer concentration nobody addressed, contracts that do not assign, a finance function that cannot produce a quality of earnings, key-person dependency written all over the org chart.

The work is temporary and the deadline is real. A fractional or interim mandate covering the eighteen months before a process is one of the highest-return uses of the model.
