Fast, decision-ready diagnostics.
Fast, decision-ready diagnostics for leadership gaps, operating risk, and AI value creation.
Every assessment is scoped and time-boxed up front. You get a clear deliverable, a prioritized action plan, and a team that already knows how to execute what comes next. No discovery phases. Just practical, senior-level work that moves the portfolio forward.
IT Value & Risk Assessment
Quantify IT risk, cost exposure, and remediation priority across the portfolio company.
A structured, time-boxed assessment that produces a quantified risk register, remediation plan, and board-ready view of IT exposure, cost, and opportunity. Scoped to company size, number of acquired entities, and complexity of the IT estate.
Best for
Post-close IT diligence, pre-exit readiness, or mid-hold operating reviews where IT cost and risk need to be quantified.
Output
Quantified risk register (typically 25–40 items), IT spend reclassification, vendor optimization roadmap, and a security posture summary — all in one executive-ready package.
Typical next step
Risk remediation, platform rationalization, or enterprise execution.
AI Workflow Opportunity Assessment
Identify where AI creates real operating leverage — and what is blocking it.
An operational diagnostic that maps specific workflows, scores them for automation feasibility and impact, and produces a prioritized roadmap the company can actually execute against. This is not a strategy deck — it is a hands-on assessment that produces measurable targets.
Best for
Portfolio companies that know AI matters but haven't identified where it creates real margin — or operating partners who want a clear-eyed view before investing.
Output
AI opportunity map, workflow automation scorecard, data readiness assessment, tool & platform review, and a build vs. buy vs. configure matrix — with a live executive readout.
Typical next step
30-day pilot, workflow implementation sprint, or operating leverage retainer.
Technology & Operating Due Diligence Assessment
Pressure-test the platform, IT environment, and operating risk before close.
A structured pre-close diligence assessment for PE sponsors evaluating a platform company, add-on acquisition, or carveout. GroupA reviews the company's technology foundation, IT cost structure, cybersecurity posture, vendor landscape, operational dependencies, scalability, and integration risk — then translates findings into a clear investment view: what is safe, what is fragile, what needs remediation, and what should affect deal terms, hold-period planning, or the first 100 days.
Best for
PE sponsors evaluating a new platform investment, add-on acquisition, carveout, or management-backed transaction where technology, IT spend, cyber risk, scalability, or integration readiness could materially affect value creation.
Output
Board-ready diligence report covering technology architecture, IT operating model, cybersecurity exposure, vendor/contracts review, cost structure, integration risks, hidden remediation burden, first-100-days roadmap, and quantified value/risk opportunities.
Typical next step
Post-close IT Value & Risk Assessment, remediation execution, platform rationalization, cybersecurity hardening, ERP/CRM cleanup, or AI Readiness / Workflow Opportunity Assessment.
Leadership Gap Assessment
Find out whether your operating team can execute the plan — before the plan fails.
A rapid, structured evaluation of whether the leadership bench — CEO through VP level — can deliver on the operating plan. Covers capability, capacity, succession readiness, and org design across the full C-suite and next layer down. Produces a clear recommendation on what to hire, restructure, or supplement.
Best for
PE sponsors evaluating a new platform company, operating partners concerned about execution capacity mid-hold, or boards preparing for a leadership transition.
Output
Leadership scorecard across the full bench, gap analysis by function, succession risk map, org design recommendations, and a hiring priority roadmap — delivered as a board-ready document.
Typical next step
Recruiting execution, interim leadership placement, succession planning, or IT assessment.
