A $180M industrial distributor couldn't explain a 340bps margin compression over 6 quarters. We could — before week three.

How We Found It

The diagnostic framework.

Data Archaeology

We excavate 18–24 months of operational data across ERP, CRM, and logistics systems — finding contradictions your team stopped questioning.

Manufacturing

Margin Signal Mapping

We build a causal map of where margin enters, compresses, and exits — by SKU, customer, channel, and geography.

Distribution

Decision-Ready Dashboards

No 80-slide decks. We deliver a live command center your CFO can interrogate in real time — before the next board meeting.

B2B SaaS

Intervention Playbook

Each finding comes with a sequenced action plan, owner matrix, and 90-day milestone set — not recommendations, but execution.

Who We Work With

We recognize your problem
before you finish describing it.

CFO
Chief Financial Officer
"Your spreadsheets contradict each other and nobody can explain the 340bps margin compression in Q3."
Three different EBITDA numbers from three departments
Board asking questions you can't answer with confidence
Month-end close taking 12 days instead of 5
What you leave with

One source of truth, one dashboard, one version of the business.

VP Ops
Operations Vice President
"You suspect your supply chain has a leak. You can feel it in the P&L. You just can't prove it — yet."
Vendor invoices that don't reconcile to POs
Inventory turns declining with no clear cause
Fulfillment SLAs slipping despite headcount increases
What you leave with

A causal map of every operational drag, ranked by recovery value.

PE Portfolio
PE Portfolio Manager
"You need due-diligence clarity in weeks, not months. And post-close, you need to know where the value actually is."
Management team can't explain its own unit economics
EBITDA add-backs that don't hold up to scrutiny
Value creation plan built on assumptions, not evidence
What you leave with

A data-verified value bridge, ready for the IC memo.
