ADVISORY SERVICES

Operator-led support across the deal lifecycle.

From first look to post-close execution, we help investors, utilities, engineering firms, and infrastructure businesses understand how assets and operating organizations actually perform, and what it will take to improve them.

01 / DEAL SCREENING & PRE-LOI ASSESSMENT

Know what you are looking at before you commit.

When: Early screening, before an LOI or a significant diligence spend.

What you get: A fast operator read on the target’s operating model, asset and service quality, capital exposure, workforce, and red flags, plus the management questions worth asking.

Timing: Days, not weeks. Expedited support is available for live processes.

02

Operational Due Diligence

When: Post-LOI, before close.

What you get: Operating-risk findings, asset condition and capex reality check, maintenance practices, workforce and organizational assessment, and value-creation priorities.

Timing: Scoped to your deal calendar, typically 2–4 weeks.

03

Post-Close Value Creation

When: The first 100 days and beyond.

What you get: A 100-day operating plan, maintenance and reliability improvement, CMMS/EAM and capital program discipline, and retained operating advisor support.

Timing: Defined projects or monthly retainer.

04

Technology & Market Advisory

When: Evaluating a product, market, or channel.

What you get: Buyer-side insight for OEMs, distributors, and technology companies on purchasing criteria, adoption barriers, product fit, and real-world operating requirements.

Timing: Expert calls or scoped projects.
