Signal
Start with the free intake or a focused snapshot when you need a fast read before scoping work.

Start Here
Pick the engagement that matches your pressure.
Use this page to decide whether you need a first signal, a deeper diagnostic, or implementation support.
2
Diagnostic
Choose a deeper diagnostic when leadership needs contradiction mapping, root-cause clarity, and defensible priorities.
3
Implementation
Move into intervention or continuous support once the issue is clear and the work needs execution support.
Private Equity Map
The PE ladder starts with lifecycle-specific scans and expands into the broader ecosystem only when the evidence warrants it.
This is the connective tissue between the free PE entry points, the paid PE ladder, and the larger execution, advisory, AI, and enablement ecosystem.
Five free lifecycle scans
Pre-Close / Diligence
Human Capital Thesis Risk Scan
Pressure-test the organizational assumptions hiding underneath the investment thesis before close.
48-Hour Workforce TriageDeep-Dive Assessment
Post-Close / First 100 Days
Value Creation Readiness Scan
Check whether sponsor priorities have translated into leadership ownership, routines, and real mobilization.
48-Hour Workforce TriageDeep-Dive Assessment
Hold Period / Active VCP Execution
Investment Thesis Execution Scan
Surface where the organization is quietly fighting the value creation plan during active execution.
48-Hour Workforce TriageDeep-Dive Assessment
Transformation / Major Change
Transformation Execution Scan
Use when AI, ERP, pricing, integration, or operating-model change is the main execution pressure.
AI Readiness & Opportunity AssessmentAI Strategy Blueprint
Pre-Exit / Value Durability
Exit Execution Readiness Scan
Test whether gains are embedded enough to survive lower sponsor pressure and a change of ownership.

How the account expands
1. Signal
Start with the right free scan for the PE moment.
All five PE intakes stay free, take about ten minutes, and use the same HCEI backbone so the signal stays comparable across the ownership lifecycle.
Free Portfolio Scan · Free
2. Validate
Stay light while the issue is still being proven.
Use the PE-specific paid ladder when one company or one initiative needs a sharper call before you move into heavier scope.
48-Hour Workforce Triage · $2.5KDeep-Dive Assessment · $7.5K-$12.5K
3. Escalate
Move into broader operating work only when the evidence warrants it.
Once the contradiction is cross-functional, enterprise-wide, board-critical, or implementation-heavy, the account should expand into the broader execution ecosystem.

Adjacent ecosystem: Targeted Alignment Accelerators / Enterprise Advisory and Ongoing Support
4. Sustain
Keep the gains visible between board cycles and through exit prep.
Recurring intelligence, retained guidance, and ongoing operating support keep value from leaking back out after the first intervention.

5. Expand
Route transformation, AI, and enablement work into the right adjacent lane.
When the pressure is really AI readiness, ERP rollout, pricing transformation, capability build, or learning transfer, route the client into the matching ecosystem instead of forcing every issue into one PE product.

Private Equity Services
Portfolio-company contradiction products built for operating partners.
This PE line is the front door, not the full ceiling. Start with the lifecycle-appropriate scan, validate the signal fast, and expand into broader operating, advisory, AI, or retained support only when the economics justify it.
