M&A operational diligence
Financial diligence tells you what a company earns. Operational diligence tells you whether it can keep earning it. Archway assesses the operating infrastructure behind the numbers.

- — Process maturity evaluation — documented vs. tribal knowledge
- — Technology and systems assessment — what supports operations, what doesn't
- — Risk identification — operational dependencies, single points of failure
