In private equity and corporate M&A, closing the deal is only the start.
Your 100-day plan depends on clear, real-time visibility. But too often, integrations stall, systems don’t talk, reporting lags, and leadership is left making decisions in the dark.
The cost? Slower execution, delayed synergies, and missed expectations. 83% of underperforming deals cite integration failures as the root cause. Even worse, 70–90% of acquisitions miss their targets because of weak post-close visibility.
Nearly half of executives admit the lack of accurate integration data is the single biggest reason value capture stalls.
The Method 84 Integration Diagnostic fixes this. In weeks, not quarters, you get a unified, KPI-driven view of your portfolio, so you can accelerate execution, capture synergies, and protect margins.
Method 84 sets itself apart through its proprietary Integration Diagnostic, a framework that establishes operational visibility and targets the critical drivers of value creation across a business’s lifecycle.
Instead of generic playbooks, the Method 84 Framework zeroes in on 84 critical KPIs across finance, operations, technology, and growth.
The result: a clear baseline and an actionable roadmap for teams to execute with confidence.
The Integration Diagnostic evolves with your business, adapting to new models, technologies, and markets. Powered by AI-enabled workflows, it delivers timely, accurate, and comparable data—turning raw information into insight and insight into accelerated value capture.
By engaging in the Method 84 Integration Diagnostic, you’ll establish a portfolio-wide baseline, define the critical levers of value creation, and accelerate your 100-day plan with measurable transparency. The diagnostic delivers clarity across finance, operations, technology, and growth—giving investors, operators, and management a unified view of performance.
As part of the process, you’ll gain structured access to 84 critical KPIs, mapped across eight operational pillars. Combined with advanced analytics, AI-driven workflow integration, and expert-led review sessions, this diagnostic transforms fragmented reporting into actionable insight.
You’ll see why operating partners and executives describe Method 84 as the “post-close command center,” the system that turns integration from a risk into a competitive advantage.
