How embedded analysts compressed a six-week due diligence cycle into three weeks without cutting scope

The Pattern

The fund had found the deal it wanted. The problem was the calendar — competing bidders meant the IC date couldn't move, but the diligence scope the partners wanted normally took six weeks.

The Client Challenge

Deal Profile

  • Sector: Mid-market buyout, business services
  • Deal Size: $85M
  • Timeline: Three weeks to IC

What Was at Risk

Running commercial and financial diligence back-to-back, as the deal team normally would, wasn't going to fit. Running them in parallel with the existing team would mean cutting corners on either.

What We Did

  • Embedded a dedicated research pod alongside the deal team for the full sprint
  • Split commercial and financial diligence into parallel workstreams with shared daily syncs
  • Used AI-augmented modeling to compress management-case validation from days to hours

The IC memo was ready on schedule, with the full original scope intact.
