Value creation
against the clock

We close 100-day plan gaps, build investor-grade digital maturity baselines, and give sponsors clear-eyed diligence on whether a transformation thesis holds.

Where you sit

The pressures you carry in Private Equity

The challenges are specific to your sector. So is the way we meet them.

The window is short

Value has to be created inside a fixed, unforgiving timeframe.

Diligence risk

The thesis rests on a transformation landing on time and on budget.

Technology independence

Carve-outs and roll-ups need genuine digital maturity, quickly.

Exit readiness

Every decision is measured against the eventual sale.

AI and Automation

What does AI change in your portfolio, and what does it expose?

The Portfolio AI Exposure Screen tells a sponsor, company by company, how AI is used, what data and controls sit behind it, and where each business is exposed to AI change.

It covers up to about eight portfolio companies over a planned two to three weeks.

For each company it describes:

  • The AI in use.
  • The data and controls behind it.
  • Its operational exposure to AI change.
  • Systems that may fall within the automated decision rules, for your counsel to assess.

The Privacy Act's automated decision rules apply from 10 December 2026.

In Bain's 2026 survey of 121 Asia-Pacific general partners, assessing AI's effect on targets was the top generative AI focus in diligence.

Each report states:

This report describes the company's AI systems, data and controls as we found them. It is not a recommendation to acquire, hold or dispose of any interest, and it says nothing about price or value.

We act for the buyer or the seller of an asset, never both. Read our independence and conflict rules
