- Do you only work with large companies?
- No. Two of our most common engagements are fixed-fee work for SMEs, built from existing exports, and portfolio work for private equity.
- Do I need to change my ERP or accounting system?
- No. We build the customer and product P&L from your existing exports (ERP dumps). No system change.
- Do you support private equity diligence?
- Yes. Defensible cost-to-serve models for diligence and value creation, delivered in weeks and owned by the asset.
- Which industries do you work in?
- Manufacturing, healthcare, retail, logistics, distribution and professional services, among others. The method is industry-agnostic; the questions differ.
