What We Find

Six Risk Categories That Define M&A Outcomes

71%

Clinical adoption as deal risk

3.2x

Unvalidated integration failure rate

$4-6M

Avg post-close remediation cost

98%

Risk concordance validated

Technology Fit

Does the platform roadmap align with target capabilities? We validate technical synergies before integration begins.

Manufacturing Integration

Quality, scale, and supplier consolidation risks. We identify design-for-manufacturing gaps before acquisition.

Regulatory Alignment

FDA pathway viability and compliance readiness. Hidden regulatory risk = 12-18 month delays and $1-3M remediation.

IP Portfolio Strength

Patent defensibility and freedom-to-operate. We assess IP quality before integrating into your platform.

Commercial Synergy

Reimbursement alignment and customer overlap. Cross-category pattern intelligence validated across 2,000+ outcomes.

Clinical Workflow Compatibility

Will clinicians adopt the integrated solution? Workflow disruption kills post-close value faster than technical issues.

How we'd diligence a target

Three acquisition risks — read against public outcomes

We'd rather show you the framework run on cases your corp-dev team already knows than ask you to trust an unnamed testimonial. Each card is a public retrospective with the integration risk our M&A Score would have surfaced pre-LOI.

See all public retrospectives → Start an M&A Score — $25,000

Named corporate engagements remain confidential until the acquirer authorizes attribution. Public retrospectives are how we let buyers verify our framework before signing.

Annual Partnerships for Active Acquirers

Unlimited assessments, priority support, and quarterly M&A risk briefings. Ideal for platforms with consistent acquisition activity.
