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.
