Clarity. Confidence. Defensible Decisions.

Commercial diligence examines whether the assumptions behind a business, deal, investment, partnership, or growth plan hold up under real-world scrutiny.

The work focuses on buyer behaviour, procurement friction, commercial defensibility, execution risk, technology dependencies, market readiness, and the practical conditions required for the opportunity to withstand challenge.

Some decisions stall because the facts are incomplete. Others stall because the real issue has not been named. In high-stakes environments, executive teams need to understand the risks, strategic implications, and execution conditions before moving forward.

This service supports boards and executive teams as they clarify the decision, surface hidden risks, align stakeholders, evaluate options, and move toward practical next steps. 

Many organisations are adopting AI faster than they are building the strategy, business case, guardrails, and risk analysis required to use it responsibly. The result is uncertainty about where AI creates value, who owns decisions, where risk sits, and what controls are needed.

These workshops give leadership teams a practical way to understand AI risk, clarify accountability, identify governance gaps, and prioritise next steps without turning the work into an academic or compliance-heavy exercise.

For a small number of clients, ongoing advisory support is available across enterprise deals, negotiations, investor or board-facing decisions, technology risk, and AI governance.

This is not a fractional operating role. It is senior decision support for leaders who need an independent sounding board, sharper issue framing, and practical judgment across decisions where the stakes are high, the trade-offs are real, and the path forward is not obvious.
