Operational Due Diligence
The Capital Allocation Compass.
Verify real potential before capital is committed.
Financial audits are not enough
The Valuation Gap
Traditional ODD validates past EBITDA. It assumes the operating engine behind it is sound.
In industrial assets, value erosion happens upstream:
Deferred maintenance
“Heroic” operations
Hidden capacity constraints
This is where Operational Due Diligence begins.
