01
Material is built for approval
Decision material is almost always optimised to be approved – not to hold up under pressure. The assumptions are rarely challenged by the people who built the model. That is human – and expensive.
Decision Integrity Audit™ · Flagship service
We find where your decision breaks
An independent stress test of the decision material behind an acquisition, an investment or a strategic plan – before it reaches the board or the investment committee. We don't improve your material; we test whether the decision holds. For CFOs, CEOs, boards and private equity funds facing a decision where a great deal is at stake.
Why it matters
Three reasons
it cannot wait.
02
Errors are cheapest before the decision
An error in the decision logic typically costs 10–50 times more than the independent test that could have caught it. After closing it is no longer an observation – it is a loss.
03
Tested before the board asks
You get the questions your board will ask and the points where the case comes under the most pressure – the day before the meeting instead of during it. That protects both the decision and your credibility.
How we work
Four steps, the same
responsible advisor.
You have one senior advisor all the way through. The method is standardised, so the pace comes from the structure and not from shortcuts.
- 01
Systematic review
AI cross-validates the full material: assumptions, financial drivers, scenarios and the consistency between narrative and numbers. No significant assumption is left to chance.
- 02
The errors that matter
Senior judgment decides which findings can actually change the decision. Not 100 observations – but the 3–5 critical points, with precise reasoning behind each.
- 03
Boardroom simulation
We simulate the questions your board will ask, where the CEO and CFO will be pressed – and exactly what must be true for the decision to hold.
- 04
Report in 48–72 hours
You get a standardised report in seven sections – from critical failure points to the decision's break conditions – delivered within 48–72 hours, while the decision can still be changed.
Questions and answers

If your question is not answered here, get in touch directly. The first conversation is confidential.
Ask your question →Isn't this just consulting or audit?
No. Audit looks backwards at historical numbers. Consulting is part of the process and cannot challenge its own work. We act as an independent counterpart on one specific decision, before it is locked – with no interest in recommending a project or extending a relationship. Our only job is to find what can fail.
Our internal team has already reviewed the material – why you?
Exactly. Internal teams are excellent at building and optimising models, but no one can challenge their own assumptions at a distance. What we typically find is not calculation errors – it is hidden assumptions that were never stress-tested: working capital, margin expectations and scenarios that break at the first headwind. The independent perspective is what makes the difference.
Which decisions are suited to an audit?
Decisions where a great deal is at stake and which are not yet locked: an acquisition on its way to the investment committee, a board pack with strategy and forecast, a major investment case or a multi-year strategic plan. If the decision has a date and can still be changed, the timing is right.
How can you deliver in 48–72 hours?
Because the method is standardised. The AI analysis works through the material systematically in fixed phases, and the senior review focuses on what can actually change the decision. The format is the same every time – seven fixed sections – so the speed comes from the method, not from shortcuts. The fee is fixed in advance, anchored in the size of the decision.
