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.

What Operational Due Diligence really evaluates

Truth. Upside. Capital.

We answer three critical questions to support your capital allocation decisions.

  • Are reported KPIs reflecting real operational performance today?

  • Can identified gaps be converted into economic results?

  • Is/Will invested CAPEX deliver value?
