Our role is advisory only. We are engaged to provide judgment, not to facilitate outcomes.
Independence is not a marketing claim. It is enforced structurally across how we work.
Independence Principles
Buyer-side due diligence is buyer-only
We do not represent both sides of the same transaction
We do not act as brokers or intermediaries
We do not take success fees or closing-based compensation
We do not receive referral fees from marketplaces or sellers
Our compensation is not tied to whether a transaction proceeds.
Conflicts and Disclosure
Where a potential conflict exists:
it is disclosed upfront
engagement scope is adjusted or declined
cooling-off periods are enforced where appropriate
If independence cannot be preserved, we do not proceed.
Why This Matters
Transaction outcomes are binary. Risk is not.
Our value lies in identifying downside scenarios that are easy to ignore before closing and difficult to correct afterward. That requires distance from incentives.
