RAPID Technology Assessment
Decision-ready visibility into technology risk that can erode EBITDA, inflate post-close spend, or increase purchase risk — without a long-form IT audit.
A focused, time-boxed assessment for private equity and turnaround leaders who need clarity quickly and cannot afford blind spots.
What RAPID Does
Surfaces material technology and cyber risk early, while decisions still have leverage
Connects technology conditions directly to valuation, execution, and operational exposure
Delivers a concise, board-ready risk view with confidence levels and key unknowns
Technology rarely fails in isolation.
When foundational issues exist, risk travels upward — quietly affecting people, processes, and financial outcomes long before symptoms are obvious.
For Private Equity
RAPID PE Teams:
Determine whether technology will support or undermine the investment thesis
Identify hidden risk — cyber exposure, fragile infrastructure, and tech debt — that can erode EBITDA or increase capex
Decide where deeper IT or cyber diligence is warranted
Understand issues that can disrupt operations, inflate post‑close spend, divert management attention, or create regulatory or reputational exposure.
Common uses
Pre-close or early post-close diligence
Valuation, holdbacks, and integration planning
Framing first-90-day execution risk for ICs and boards
For Turnaround & Restructuring
RAPID for Turnaround Leaders:
Identify technology weaknesses that threaten liquidity, continuity, and control
Improve the reliability of 13-week cash-flow visibility by exposing system and data issues
Focus scarce time and capital on a short list of stabilizing actions
Common uses
Early engagement mapping of tech risk to cash-critical processes
Briefing management, lenders, and boards in business terms
What RAPID Typically Reveals
Unexamined security exposure across core systems, vendors, or integrations
“It mostly works” infrastructure that is one failure away from outage or data loss
Under-resourced or misaligned IT functions slowing stabilization or integration
Engagement Shape
Fixed-fee, time-boxed, led by senior practitioners. Designed to support investment and execution decisions, with remediation handled separately and intentionally.
If you need clarity before committing capital, time, or credibility, RAPID is often the right first step.
