Executive summary
A diagnostic that scores an acquirer's integration readiness across eight capability domains and turns every gap into an owned, dated register item before Day 1.
What is inside
What the assessment covers
The asset guides an integration lead through an evidence-based readiness assessment run between signing and close: it covers the capability domains examined, how scores are anchored in demonstrated behavior, how gaps and dependencies are registered with owners, how the value at risk is quantified, and how the results feed the Day-1 readiness decision and the integration business case.
- Scope: the eight integration capability domains assessed before Day 1
- Who runs the assessment and who must see its results
- How readiness is scored on evidence rather than self-report
- How capability gaps, constraints and dependencies are registered and owned
- How gaps are translated into synergy value at risk
- Remediation choices and how they feed the integration investment case
- The Day-1 readiness gate and the re-score that precedes it
