Transaction readiness review
Is the business ready for what is about to happen, and what breaks first?
A transaction changes the operating model before anyone has decided how. This review tells you what is genuinely ready, what is not, and what breaks first — before the clock starts.
01
When to bring us in
You are separating something from a group
Scope, dependencies and the TSA are still assumptions rather than a plan.
The value case depends on operational change
The thesis assumes a cost base, a data model or a system that may not exist yet.
02
How the 2–3 weeks run
Fixed duration, a senior lead named on the first call.
Led by a partner-grade operator who has run the transaction themselves. No discovery phase, no proposal theatre.
01
Week one — see the business as it is
Operators who have run this work interview the people holding the detail, walk the systems and processes, and pull the numbers that actually matter.
02
Week two — test what breaks
Day one, the first ninety days and the TSA window are walked against real dependencies: data, systems, people, contracts and cost.
03
Week three — cost it and hand it over
Findings become a readiness assessment, a risk register with owners and a costed plan to day one, presented to your board or investment committee rather than filed.
03
What you keep
- Readiness assessment across operations, data, systems, cost and leadership capacity.
- Risk register with named owners and the cost of each risk if it is not moved.
- Costed plan to day one, sequenced against the transaction timetable.
- The decisions that need taking now, with a recommendation on each.
- Duration
- 2–3 weeks
- Led by
- A partner-grade operator who has run the transaction themselves
- What you get
- A readiness assessment, a risk register, and a costed plan to day one.
- Where it ends
- If the review says we should go on to run the work, we do. If it doesn't, the assessment and the plan are yours to use.
