We provide investors and strategic buyers with rapid insights of the digital and technology capabilities that exist within a target business, and the potential for digital businesses and technology megatrends to disrupt the target's business model or generate new sources of value creation. We tailor our engagement to the exact needs of your investment thesis and any fee pressure or time constraints, covering the subjects that matter the most. Our engagements can span from 1-3 weeks.

In addition to assessing areas such as software, systems and operations for downside risk, we also provide opinion on the defensibility and differentiation of their technology and the target's ability to manage and exploit the threats of disruption or disintermediation from competitors, digital leaders, technology megatrends and start-ups. This surfaces hidden opportunities to create value and reduce the cost to serve, and illuminates new areas of concern that can affect the business' ability to gain and maintain a competitive and commercial advantage.
