We partner with PE investment and operating teams. Our daily, materiality‑scored signals map to revenue, gross margin and operating efficiency so you can intervene early and compound EBITDA.

Protect and grow EBITDA

From lagging KPIs to leading indicators

Financials are lagging indicators. Signal continuously scans for weak signals—pricing and discount drift, demand momentum, supplier instability, cloud/COGS creep, working‑capital strain—so you can act before variances widen. Redirect effort to the moves that matter: protecting margin, accelerating growth, and compounding value creation.

De‑risk the quarter

From surprises to controlled variance

Signal flags variance drivers weeks ahead; slipping pipeline quality, discount creep, late‑stage churn risk, supplier lead‑time drift and cloud/infra cost spikes, so you can pull pricing, mix, and spend levers in time to land the quarter.

Accelerate value creation

From scattered data to prioritized plays

Signals are materiality‑scored and mapped to revenue, gross margin, and cash. Get a ranked list of actions, price moves, SKU/package resets, alternate sourcing, channel mix shifts, with expected P&L impact and timing, ready for 100‑day plans and board packs.
