Know what you have before you replace it.

Most leadership decisions in a portfolio company get made on impressions — a board read, a bad quarter, a strong personality. The cost of getting one wrong is a year of momentum and a search you did not need to run.

We assess the people already in the seats against what the investment thesis actually demands: the decisions they will have to make, the pace they will have to hold, and the team they will have to build. Not a personality profile. A read on capability, with the evidence behind it.

The output is a straight answer on each leader — keep, develop, or replace — and what it takes in each case.
