Phase Zero — Before Any Engagement Begins

The Capital
Diagnostic

The Diagnostic Process

What Happens on the Call

This is not a sales pitch disguised as a diagnostic. It is a structured conversation designed to surface real constraints and quantify the opportunity — or confirm there is not one.

01

Context Brief

You share your situation — revenue scale, ownership structure, stage, and what is keeping you up at night. We come prepared with questions specific to PE-backed, growth equity, and mid-market environments.

02

Constraint Mapping

We surface the 3–5 most significant liquidity constraints in real time — working capital cycle gaps, banking relationship limitations, treasury process maturity, or structural capital inefficiencies.

03

Opportunity Sizing

For each constraint, we estimate the potential release value and implementation complexity. You leave the call with a clear sense of what is trapped, what it is worth, and what it would take to unlock it.

04

Go / No-Go Decision

If the opportunity justifies engagement, we outline the phased scope. If it does not, we tell you honestly. No soft pitches. No artificial urgency. The diagnostic exists to determine whether working together makes economic sense.

Who The Diagnostic Is For

Built for Decision-Makers
Who Need Answers, Not Presentations

The Capital Diagnostic is designed for executives who suspect their capital structure could work harder — and want that confirmed or disproven in 30 minutes by someone who speaks their language.

PE Portfolio Company CFOs

Your sponsor expects working capital improvement within the first 100 days. Treasury is fragmented, cash conversion lags sector benchmarks, and you need a clear view of what can be released and how fast.

Receive a prioritized view of working capital release opportunities sized for your hold period

Growth Equity-Backed CEOs & CFOs

Your board is asking for capital efficiency metrics that signal institutional maturity ahead of the next raise. Working capital is poorly structured and treasury is not investor-ready.

Identify the 3–5 moves that will make your capital efficiency story compelling in due diligence

Mid-Market & Enterprise CFOs

You know liquidity is trapped across the balance sheet but lack the specialist bandwidth to surface and quantify it. Banking relationships have not been renegotiated in years.

Surface the specific constraints and get an estimated release value — the data you need to drive change internally

Companies Entering GCC / MENA

Multi-currency exposure is creating hidden FX losses and local banking relationships are taking months to establish. Treasury complexity is blocking operational speed in new markets.

Get a cross-border treasury architecture assessment and a clear view of the banking relationship gap
Not Sure Where You Fit?

The Diagnostic Will Clarify It

If your company has between $10M and $500M+ in revenue and you suspect capital is trapped somewhere in your balance sheet, the diagnostic will surface it — regardless of which category you fall into.
