Before signing, during the first 100 days, throughout value creation, then at the exit: a single senior counterpart, at the moments that matter.
One senior at every stage, from signing to exit.
At each stage: the question you are asking, what I do, what you get.
“Is this target worth its price, and does the plan hold up?”
“We've just invested: how do we create value, fast and clean?”
“How do we grow EBITDA and cash during the holding period?”
“A portfolio company is slipping: what do we do, and who takes the helm?”
“How do we sell at the best price?”

Purchasing is only one lever among others. To find out which one weighs most in your portfolio company, the flash audit reviews the whole business, purchasing included. See the flash audit
Value isn't declared: it's steered, week after week.
5 days across the whole company: market and customers, margin, cash, spend (purchasing included), organization.
This is not a purchasing audit: it is an overview, to know where to act first.
