Methodology
No black boxes.
Every number shows its work.
Underwriting that a partner can defend: management evidence becomes a readiness score, three scenarios, and a ranked plan — on one recorded path, with the assumptions still on screen when IC asks.
Scorecard
Six dimensions. Published weights.
Scores are not yet validated against post-close realized outcomes at scale. Same inputs still produce the same score every time.
Scoring mechanics
Here's what's running under the hood.
These mechanics produce each readiness score and financial scenario. You can inspect the mechanics.
8 deterministic scoring engines
Your scores come from fixed engines, not from whatever a model felt like saying that day. Same inputs produce the same scores every time.
6 readiness dimensions
Each dimension gets its own score. You can see where a company is strong and where it is not, instead of relying on one blended number.
20 industries, 78 segments
Scores are read against companies that actually look like yours. Benchmarks are specific to your industry and segment, not a generic average.
Newton-Raphson IRR on DCF cash flows
IRR isn't estimated or pattern-matched. It's solved numerically on the modeled cash flows, and you can see every input that went in.
Three scenarios with S-curve ramps
You get conservative, base, and aggressive cases. Each case models adoption as a ramp and carries its own assumptions.
Formula-level rationale
If a score can't show you its inputs and its formula, it doesn't ship. That's the rule.
Operating rules
Four rules we hold ourselves to, on every engagement.
They apply no matter the company, the industry, or the deadline pressure.
Evidence before scoring
We do not score what we have not seen. Interviews, workflow maps, and your actual technology stack come first. The score comes after.
Every number carries its assumptions
Every score arrives with the inputs behind it. If we can't show you how a number was made, it doesn't go in your memo.
A human approves execution
When a run crosses a risk threshold, the run stops and waits. The agent proposes an action. A person on your side decides.
You keep the artifacts
You own the code, memos, and run records. Test each artifact in your environment before you rely on the artifact.
Engagement workflow
One recorded path, from the first interview to approved execution.
Each phase hands its output to the next phase. Every output stays on the record.
Consulting
The process starts with people, not data. We interview operators and map the real workflow. The baseline reflects the business, not only the organization chart.
Assessment
The evidence becomes a score across six readiness dimensions and three financial scenarios. You can inspect every input.
Value Creation
The score turns into a plan: a ranked list of interventions, each tied to the financial impact it's expected to make.
Migration
Approved work runs on supported paths behind approval gates. Your systems of record remain the systems of record.
See it for yourself
The easiest way to judge the method is to run it.
Start an assessment with your own operating context. You will get a readiness score and three scenarios. You can check every assumption without a sales call.
