Execution risk
quantified. Before
it erodes your deal.
CarveOutIQ converts fragmented diligence inputs into quantified execution intelligence — across TSA exposure, Day‑1 readiness, stranded cost risk, and EBITDA impact.
Built for PE firms and deal teams managing complex separations.
Most complex carve-outs have the same gap: execution risk that nobody has quantified.
Built by operators who have led complex global separations, CarveOutIQ addresses the structural gap between operational diligence and financial decision-making, building a quantified execution risk layer where none previously existed.
In every complex carve-out, the same problem emerges: deal teams work from fragmented diligence, qualitative assessments, and disconnected models.
TSA assumptions go untested. Stranded costs surface late. Governance gaps appear after Day‑1.
The result is value erosion that was entirely preventable, if the right intelligence had been available earlier in the process.
CarveOutIQ was built to close that gap. Not as a reporting tool or a dashboard, but as a structured decision layer that connects operational complexity directly to financial impact, before it becomes a problem.
Small assumptions create
significant value leakage.
In complex carve-outs, execution risk rarely sits in one workstream. It compounds silently across TSA dependencies, ERP complexity, stranded costs, and governance gaps, before Day-1.
Spreadsheets can model costs.
They can't model complexity.
The tools deal teams use today were built for financial modelling, not operational separation intelligence. The result is a structural blind spot at the most critical point in the deal.
Disconnected and manually maintained
Spreadsheet-based diligence captures data in silos. Cross-functional dependencies, dynamic risk interactions, and separation complexity cannot be modelled in a static workbook.
Narrative without quantification
Operational assessments delivered as reports or slide decks describe risk — they don't quantify it. IC discussions become narrative-led rather than model-backed, increasing decision risk.
Operational surprises after close
When separation complexity is only assessed during execution, the cost of fixing problems multiplies. The intelligence arrives too late to influence deal structure, pricing, or planning.
Five dimensions of execution risk.
One unified framework.
CarveOutIQ converts qualitative diligence inputs into quantified operational intelligence across the five dimensions that determine whether a carve-out creates or destroys value.
Separation complexity score
Quantified scoring across functional and cross-functional separation dimensions, not a subjective traffic light.
TSA exposure & duration risk
Structured modelling of TSA dependency depth, overrun probability, and transitional cost exposure.
Day-1 readiness index
Governance tracking, operational continuity assessment, and critical execution gap identification before close.
Stranded cost risk
Assessment of shared service dependencies and overhead allocation risk, quantified before it appears in the P&L.
EBITDA impact modelling
Scenario-based value sensitivity linking execution risk directly to EBITDA exposure and value leakage.
Every output is driven by underlying operational and financial logic — not manual synthesis or narrative framing.
Execution intelligence,
made visible.
CarveOutIQ turns operational complexity into structured, decision-ready outputs, built for investment committees and operating teams.
TSA Risk Dashboard
View dependency depth, duration risk, and cost exposure across all TSA services in one unified view.
Day-1 Readiness Score
Track execution readiness across governance, systems, and operational continuity, before close.
EBITDA Impact Bridge
Translate operational risk into financial exposure with scenario-based sensitivity modelling.
Risk Heatmaps
Surface cross-functional execution risks and interdependencies across separation workstreams.
Scenario Modelling
Compare execution strategies and see real-time impact on TSA timelines, cost, and value creation.
Outputs generated in seconds from structured operational inputs.
From diligence inputs
to IC-ready outputs.
Four steps from fragmented assumptions to structured execution intelligence.
Capture structured inputs
Operational dependencies, TSA scope, ERP complexity, and separation drivers, captured in a unified model, replacing fragmented diligence workbooks.
Quantify execution risk
Convert fragmented assumptions into structured complexity scores across all separation workstreams, functional and cross-functional, not siloed assessments.
Generate operational intelligence
Calculate TSA exposure, Day-1 readiness, stranded cost risk, and EBITDA impact within a single unified framework. Operational risk connected directly to financial consequence.
Produce decision-ready outputs
Export risk heatmaps, readiness scores, EBITDA exposure views, red flag intelligence, and scenario comparisons, structured for investment committees and operating partners.
A decision engine
for execution risk.
CarveOutIQ models cross-functional separation complexity and translates it into financial consequence, connecting operational risk directly to financial impact.
Unlike static models, CarveOutIQ processes interdependencies across separation workstreams simultaneously, surfacing compounding risks that linear analysis misses entirely.
Translates operational risk signals, TSA overrun probability, ERP complexity score, governance gaps, into quantified EBITDA impact ranges, within a single connected framework.
Run multiple separation scenarios in real time. See how changes in TSA duration, ERP approach, or shared service structure ripple through to Day-1 readiness and value creation timelines.
The underlying intelligence is informed by real-world carve-out execution experience, not generic models. Every output reflects the operational realities of complex global separations.
From fragmented judgement to
structured execution intelligence.
Traditional carve-out diligence relies on disconnected models, qualitative assessments, and late-surfacing surprises. CarveOutIQ replaces that with a quantified carve-out decision layer, built for investment committees and operating partners.
Built for teams responsible
for execution.
CarveOutIQ is designed for the professionals who carry separation risk, and who need more than a spreadsheet to manage it.
PE deal teams
Quantify execution risk before investment decisions are locked. Bring structured operational intelligence into IC discussions, not narrative assessments.
Operating partners
Translate operational complexity into value creation plans. Identify execution risks early enough to influence deal structure, pricing, and 100-day planning.
Separation advisors
Bring structured execution intelligence into carve-out diligence and planning. Replace qualitative assessments with quantified, model-backed outputs.
Make separation risk visible —
before it impacts value.
Quantify what matters. Reduce uncertainty. Make better carve-out decisions.
