The engagement
A structured, time-bound advisory engagement — from first conversation to final walkthrough. Everything is designed to get the right analysis in front of the right people before the decisions that matter get made.
How it works
Every engagement follows the same structure. Not because it's a template — because the structure is what makes the output reliable.
A focused session to frame the deal — the strategic rationale, the areas of concern, and the questions that most need answering. More than a data-gathering exercise — it's a conversation between people who understand what's at stake.
You bring what you know — and what keeps you up at night about this one. We bring an initial read of the deal context.
Deal documents are submitted through the secure client portal — IM, CIM, financial model, management presentations, whatever is available at this stage of the process. The engine extracts and structures the analytical signals across the deal.
Where key information is absent or ambiguous, a short targeted survey is generated — typically 8–10 questions — to fill the gaps before analysis begins. We review the intake before analysis begins.
The engine analyses the deal across 16 domains — strategy alignment, talent, technology, governance, synergies, and more — drawing on 147 integration patterns and 34 sourced benchmarks. Risks are classified by severity. Decisions are surfaced. Workstreams are mapped.
This is where the depth comes from. The engine does in hours what would otherwise take weeks of consulting resource — and does it with a consistency no team can match.
Two reports are produced: a board-level integration assessment and a management execution blueprint. Both are delivered through the secure client portal, with a structured walkthrough to go through the findings, answer questions, and agree next steps.
The walkthrough is a working session. We take you through what the analysis found, why it matters, and what you should do about it.
What you receive
Typically delivered within 5 working days of kick-off, subject to document availability and survey completion. Both arrive through the secure client portal, ready to use.
Illustrative output · Project Falcon
Project Falcon is a fictional deal created specifically to demonstrate the depth and structure of an Integration Intelligence output. No real transaction, company, or client is referenced anywhere in this document.
Investment
Against the cost of getting an integration wrong — or the fees involved in any other part of a deal process — this is a straightforward decision.
