For private equity
Stress-test the value creation plan before you commit to it.
A business wargame puts your plan in front of the lender, the management team and the market, and shows what they do with it.
Across the deal
From diligence to exit.
Before signing
Test the thesis against the people who must deliver it
Before close
Rehearse the first 100 days with the incoming CEO
During the hold
Wargame an add-on, a pricing move or a turnaround
Before exit
Pressure-test the equity story
Beyond the model
Your model prices the plan. A wargame tests whether it happens.
Your model answers
- What is the plan worth?
- How much leverage can it carry?
- What if margin slips two points?
A wargame answers
- Will the management team back it?
- What does the lender do when a quarter slips?
- How does a rival answer your price move?
