Execution Risk Checklist (Acquisitions and Transitions)
Introduction
Some deals fail quietly, not because of the numbers, but because of what’s underneath them.
This checklist helps you spot the operational cracks that financial diligence can’t catch, the people, processes, and dependencies that derail performance post-close.
These aren’t surface-level questions. They’re field-tested prompts we use with searchers, investors, and operators before and after closing to uncover where execution risk lives, and how to fix it fast.
No jargon. No filler. Just clarity.
