The value case is a number, not a plan
A target uplift exists; the levers, owners and baselines behind it do not.

Value creation diagnostic
Where is the value, and can the plan actually be delivered?
Value creation plans are usually written before anyone has checked whether the business can deliver them. This diagnostic sizes the value honestly, names the owners, and tells you which levers are real.
01
When to bring us in
Diligence findings have gone cold
Opportunities were identified before signing and nobody has picked them up since.
The business cannot see its own numbers
Without one version of the numbers, value tracking becomes an argument.
02
How the 2–3 weeks run
Fixed duration, a senior lead named on the first call.
Led by the person who will hold the outcome if we go on to deliver it. No discovery phase, no proposal theatre.
01
Week one — baseline what exists
Operators establish the current cost, margin and operating baseline from the business's own data, not from the management presentation.
02
Week two — size the levers
Each lever is sized against evidence, given an owner and a measurement basis, and tested for whether it can be delivered inside the hold.
03
Week three — put the plan to the CFO
Sized levers, owners and a value-tracking basis your CFO can sign, wired back to the investment thesis.

Where is the value, and can the plan actually be delivered?
Two to three weeks, a named senior lead, and a deliverable you keep whether or not we go further.
