The scorecard

Nine questions, one honest read

Answer for the deal or programme in front of you. Your score is calculated in your browser and is not sent anywhere unless you ask for the full report.

1. Do you have an independent, red-teamed view of the target’s plan, not the seller’s?
2. Is the Day-1 target operating model designed and agreed?
3. Are key-person dependencies mapped, with a retention plan?
4. Do you have a costed application disposition and a cyber-exposure view?
5. Is supplier concentration and third-party risk quantified?
6. Are Excluded Services and Reverse TSAs scoped, not just TSA-eligible ones?
7. Will one team carry findings from diligence into SPA, TSA and Day-1?
8. Can you independently verify reported synergies against the ledger?
9. Is there one findings register, with named owners and a cadence?

    What the score reflects

    The gaps that decide whether a deal delivers

    Each question maps to a dimension of the RCK method, from red-teamed diligence to a single findings register and independently verified value. A low score is not a verdict; it is a map of where a partner-led team pays for itself first.
