Anonymised at client request, client and target identifiers redacted, outcomes preserved. Figures and references shared privately under NDA.
Due diligence
Situation. A private equity buyer needed six-workstream diligence on a €500m enterprise-value media-intelligence target, at pace.
What we did. We ran the full RCK playbook in five weeks, quantifying stranded TSA cost and a nine-month exit risk on the largest cloud subscription, and surfacing two material findings not disclosed in the information memorandum.
Result. €4.6m of stranded TSA cost was surfaced, the price was renegotiated, and the buyer proceeded on revised terms.

Signing to Day-1
Situation. A €2bn carve-out from a FTSE 100 group required SPA inputs and Day-1 readiness across 5,000 employees in 24 countries.
What we did. We consolidated four global ERP estates into a single SAP S/4HANA instance and ran a €9m Azure migration in parallel, holding Day-1 to schedule.
Result. A €4m IT operating-cost saving was captured in year one, and Day-1 was delivered on schedule.

Day-1 to TSA exit
Situation. A carve-out from a listed group spanned nine TSA schedules across six jurisdictions, with bidirectional dependencies.
What we did. We designed and executed the Excluded Services discipline, scoped the Reverse TSAs, and governed over €440k a month of TSA cost to a milestone-based exit.
Result. Full TSA exit was achieved on schedule, with Day-1 stand-up across all countries.

Value creation
Situation. A £3bn industrial software integration had to be recovered from a prior failure while distressed transaction support ran in parallel.
What we did. We consolidated four ERP estates into a single S/4HANA instance, oversaw $110m of cash-builder exits, and remediated the BPO and ITO arrangements.
Result. The programme was returned to plan and the year-one operating-cost saving was captured.

TRANSFORM+ read
Situation. On a €15m synergy plan, the buyer needed to know before close whether the combined team could actually execute it.
What we did. A TRANSFORM+ Continuity Assurance read at Day 30 mapped synergy-at-risk to the plan, with a workstream heatmap and a first-move sheet.
Result. Between 36% and 51% of the plan, €5.4m to €7.6m, was surfaced as exposed behavioural risk in time to act on it.
