Free playbook
Integration
What the deal was predicated on, what each synergy is actually worth, and what the first hundred days have to deliver. Synergies are treated as hypotheses with a number, an owner and a date — because a synergy without all three is a wish that arrives at the acquirer\u2019s expense.
The engagement brief
The numbers are computed on our side in Python. The model writes the analysis around them and cannot restate or adjust them.
Questions this playbook raises
- How are synergies treated?
- Every synergy is a hypothesis with a number, an owner and a date. A synergy without all three is a wish, and it is carried into the integration at the acquirer’s expense. Cost synergies are claimed before revenue synergies, because cost synergies are the ones the client controls.
- Does the playbook produce a synergy total?
- It produces hypotheses with their assumptions. If the case does not reconcile, the playbook says so and names what would close the gap, rather than producing a synergy total that fits the price paid.
- Is the integration playbook free?
- Yes. It needs no account, and there is no limit you will hit in a trial.
- What do you need from the client?
- The investment case as it was presented, the cost base of both businesses, the overlap between them, and which synergies have been claimed so far and what happened to them.
