Operational Insight That Strengthens Underwriting

PRV helps investors identify execution risk early – before it turns into missed plans, delayed value creation, or avoidable erosion of returns.

Financial diligence explains what you’re buying. Execution diligence determines what actually happens after close.

Despite disciplined underwriting, execution risk remains one of the most common drivers of underperformance.

• Independent studies consistently show that over 60% of private equity deals miss their value-creation targets, with execution – not strategy – cited as the primary cause.
• Management gaps, unclear decision rights, weak KPIs, and unrealistic operating assumptions are among the most common post-close issues surfaced by operating partners.
• These risks are often visible pre-close – but rarely pressure-tested with enough depth during traditional diligence.

By the time they surface, capital is deployed and timelines are already slipping.

PRV’s operational due diligence is designed to answer one question: Where will execution break under new ownership?

We focus on the areas most predictive of post-close outcomes:

• Operating Model Resilience – Can the business absorb change, growth, or cost pressure without disruption
• Management Depth and Accountability – Who actually runs the business when the founder or deal sponsor steps back?
• KPI Credibility and Decision Cadence – Are metrics decision-grade – or simply reported?
• Value-Creation Feasibility – Do the growth and improvement plans align with the organization’s actual capacity?

Our work surfaces risks early – when they can still be priced, mitigated, or planned around.

Too often, diligence insights live in decks while execution struggles in practice. PRV translates diligence findings into a practical first-100-day execution blueprint, aligned to how operating teams actually work.

This includes:

• Prioritized execution risks and dependencies
• Leadership and decision-right clarity
• Early KPI and operating cadence recommendations
• Alignment between the investment thesis and operational reality

The goal is simple: faster traction, fewer resets, and earlier value realization.

PRV does not serve both sides of the same transaction.

• Owner readiness work is pre-market and objective
• Investor work is buyer-side and execution-focused

This separation preserves trust, objectivity, and credibility – especially in diligence-sensitive environments.

Investors engage PRV when:

• Execution risk could materially affect returns
• Management depth is unproven
• Value-creation plans rely on assumptions that haven’t been pressure-tested
• Speed and clarity matter more than volume or theory

PRV doesn’t replace operating partners or advisors. We surface execution reality early – so teams can act decisively.
